I found this Goblin Shark on Aliexpress but it's also found on Amazon as well.



I'm not sure on ordering it and i wanted to hear some opinions first.

It's an enlarged copy of the Colorata from the deluxe sharks box.
Colorata fish are a popular source of enlarged copies.

I thought it looked like Colorata but too big. That explains it.

@sbell how large is the Colorata version?

I see they also have a Cookie-cutter and Frilled sharks as well.

I'm glad someone else did the work already!

The deep sea sharks are the best parts of the set in my opinion. The cookie cutter is one of only three made, so rarest species figure (the others are Neko Works and Takara, both out of production)

Someone hand to do the work *wink

Update to this. Aren't goblin sharks commonly a pinkish-grey in color? This would be other concern aside from size.
