Less of a toy, this is more a serious deep sea exploration machine. In 2013 the <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftritonsubs.com%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">Triton Submarine</a> captured a giant squid on camera,<a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fedition.cnn.com%2F2013%2F01%2F09%2Fworld%2Fasia%2Fjapan-giant-squid%2F"> during an expedition</a> to the bottom of the ocean.<br />Available in 11 different models, the sub can plunge anywhere between 300 meters and 11,000 meters under water -- with prices ranging between $2.35 million and $4.89 million.
