Is this a Wobbegong?

The ad says it's a White-spotted Bamboo Shark, but am skeptical... definitely looks more wobbegong to me. Thoughts?

Anyways I just went ahead and bought it. I think it was the last one and was fairly cheap

For sure. I suppose it's the Schleich's wobbegong or a Schleich's knockoff. Where is the place you found it? It's in my wishlist!

I concur, looks like a Schleich knockoff (if it wasn't advertised as Schleich). Those measurement styles are commonly used by Chinese knockoffs in online ads

It's a schleich bootleg. Also both versions are missing the anal fin

Given the nature of aliexpress and the relative cheapness compared to genuine Schleich (like $79 lol) there's no doubt that it is a knockoff. Unfortunate. But not enough to stop me from purchasing it so long as the figure still looks good and is scaled as advertised.
