Thanks, guys!

...Now, because I have no self control, I checked eBay for any damaged listings and I actually found a non-exclusive teal version at a great price! (One of her bracelets has some light damage, but nothing too severe.)

Now, the question is which of these two I should use as a coloring guideline for her:



I love the idea of doing a true "Ariel" style Mermaid, but the ginger+pink would be an amazing visual standout among my other three.

Seems like you enjoy the "Ariel" colors. Maybe go that route.

I do (darn childhood nostalgia), but I think the argument that there are other Ariel statues out there is a really strong one... Pink-tailed mermaids: Not so much, you know?

Kinda sad to see only caucasian mermaids in Campbells drawing. I'd love to see how the sculpt would react to a dark skinned mermaid;

with a black and/or gold tail. Think it could be a nice combination

I like the one on the left ...the redhead with green tail. Whoa nelly!

I'd love to see a dark skinned mermaid, black or deep brown hair and a yellow tail, that would be stunning too. So many beautiful potential colour combos.

Finished my second Little Mermaid repaint after deciding to go with a raspberry tail and ginger hair. Still might need to do some touch-ups on the hair, but I'm pleased overall!







I gotta say, getting the chance to affordably repaint this statue is the only silver lining to the fitting issues that plagued some members. I've got a Mermaid Lagoon now!
