Schleich 16078 Blauhai

The sculpted gills and fins look surprisingly lifelike up close, and the blue paint job has a nice subtle shimmer. My kid grabbed it right away and started acting out deep-sea dives, which is exactly what I hoped for.

The deep 350-meter range on the description made this a fun fact for my son’s school project. The paint job is nicely detailed, especially the gills and the lighter belly shading.

The detailing on this shark model is surprisingly accurate for a toy, especially the dorsal fin and the textured gills. It's a great size for small hands to examine while we talk about how deep they swim.
