can you take a comparison pic of the hammerhead vs. the normal shark?  Did they remould the entire shark?  Or did they just add hammerhead extensions on the normal shark?

and is there still a metal ballast?  or is it all plastic? on the shark?  (older sharks have metal, the newer ones dont)

Its a whole new mould, but I have no idea for the ballast.. I dont know if the shark from the pirate lagoon is an old one, I mean is there an older one than the lagoon shark? but here is how they float...

wow, thanks!  Seems the regular shark is a tad bigger?  (hard to tell from perspective).

Just seeing them swimming around together in your bowl looks ominous and creepy!  I'd hate for a clicky to fall into that bowl of doom!

I want an army of sharks (both styles) to infest my piratical waters!  I hope they sell it as an add-on at some point.  Heck, I have to wait a whole year for the entire new pirate theme to get to the US, darn it!

Shark from the lagoon set has a metal ballast I believe.  I recently got a newer shark (can't remember which set it came from) and I noticed the ballast was just solid plastic, not metal anymore.  Much like the metal anchors being replaced with plastic.  Seems to still get the job done though.

Cool, I like the way they float looking up... great for attacking a boat. ;D

I bought a bowl exactly like that one a few days ago....

:thanks: thanks for the fantastic review wolf knight.

p.s. to blackpearl2006 - the swivel gun was already used in the 4136 set (one of my preferred playmo sets) - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4690.15

isnt this swivel gun the same size as a normal cannon barrel?  I swear I saw a smaller one than this mounted on someone's 3050...though it might have been a custom.

It is the same size and I, too, am sure there is a custom somewhere.
