Mojo Common Dolphin repaint

I used to have this in my collection. But recently retired it because I prefer Papo's new Common Dolphin.

Is there a species of dolphin that I can repaint this to before I post it for sale on eBay? I was thinking of converted it to an Atlantic Spotted Dolphin if this could anatomically pass as one.

It would certainly work as an Atlantic Spotted Dolphin.  It would also probably work as a Striped Dolphin.  I'm sure you could fudge it and make it into a few other species as well.  But you could repaint it as either one of those Stenella sp. and it would look great!  Good Luck!

@sphyrna18 initially I was thinking about making it into a spinner dolphin, but the rostrum is simply too short. The Striped might be more appropriate as you suggested.

Might just go with the spotted dolphin just for the uniqueness of that species compared to what I already have.

I love the old Atlantic spotted dolphin by Safari. Goodluck with your custom project!

@Saarlooswolfhound yeah I just feel like it's a bit underwhelming probably due to its age.
Regardless, if I do go through with this repaint it should be fun. Might get a bit messy along the way if I proceed with my game plan.  :P
