While I think the safari ltd great white is probably the best figure of the species, it's size is really lacking as compared to most standard sized figures especially other sharks. One way to mitigate this is to wait for a company to produce one at the same level of accuracy to about 20cm or add claspers since male sharks are smaller than females. I went with the latter as it is more in line with what I have. After some epoxy and several coats of white paint later, my Safari LTD great white is changed from a small female to an adult male specimen. Most important detail I have to make is to make sure they are part of the pelvic fins and that they are quite sizable as male great whites have pretty big claspers compared to most other sharks. I'll get more into detail in the upcoming safari ltd great white review which I currently have multiple copies of this figure with me but only the claspered one is on display currently
