The Love Boat is a romantic comedy that aired from 1977 to 1989. The show was set on the luxury passenger cruise ship the MS Pacific Princess, and revolved around the passengers and crew having different romantic and humorous adventures. The show was based on the 1976 made-for-tv movie The Love Boat, which in itself was based off of a nonfiction book written by Jeraldine Saunders, a real-life cruise director for a passenger cruise-ship line.
The show was highly rated, and Mego made a toyline for it. While most would assume the rom-com would get a doll line or another “girly” sort of figure, The Love Boat instead got 6 figures that were 3’’ in scale. Alongside those figures, there was a playset that got released exclusively in Canada by Grand Toys.
