Nice. This one's mine. A bit large but I still find it acceptable. I think the green coloration may be too vibrant, but I do want to paint the top of the wings to have more of a purple hue.

@EpicRaptorMan - not sure if you were aware, your luna moth is the adult from Safari's life cycle set. Was it sold as such, or is it a knock-off? The sculpt is Safari's, regardless. More curious than anything.

Yes it's a knock off @bmathison1972. Can't beat $1.60

Like I said I may customize it to make it more purple on the top of the wings & having down the sharp tips.

Thanks. I know you've mentioned in the past you don't mind knock offs; I was just curious about that particular figure.
