Here is what the original looked like:

After learning about this figure, I decided to check eBay... Luckily I was able to find the entire lot for pretty cheap. I don't like how static this pose is, but the repaint was enough. Making the background colors more neutral gray with a hint of apricot. Dabbed the eyes in neon green.1000002922.jpg

Thanks. I forgot where I read it but somewhere people were discussing how the original paint was too blue but that was due to the hue of the ocean water. Knowing that, I decided I wanted a more accurate depiction of the coloration without going too overboard.

I was going to repaint the Angular roughshark that came with the
set as well but it's sculpt is definitely inferior.

I know I mentioned in my blog review that the dark blue looked like the colours in an underwater photo, but I'm sure others have noticed too
