The Diver is more than a static figure: it was made with a specific density, so when placed in water it is weighted to sink slowly and stay perfectly vertical on its way to the bottom. The helmet design links it visually to the 1960s Space Age, when cosmonauts and explorers were favorite themes for Soviet children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone building a collection of USSR toys, plastic figurines or Leningrad-made items, this vintage Soviet toy is a strong example of the clean, simplified style that sets Soviet designer toys apart. It also works as a striking small display piece on a shelf of mid-century objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
