I did not have the same problem as reported by Micah's review, both Fish-Eye and Gibbergill were the correct colors as shown on the Amazon product page. I know that there is a "collector's" color variant out there where the pallets are swapped, so maybe there was a mix up on his set? <br /> <br />After being a little disappointed by the paint quality on the World of Warcraft Series 4: Deluxe Collector Figure: Lady Vashj figure, I was pleasantly surprised by the details on the Murlocs. The colors were bright and distinct and the little details - such as the shells and twine and the froth from the water - were a nice touch. <br /> <br />The one problem I ran into would be the durability of this set. Unfortunately for no apparent reason, my Murlocs took a header onto the floor and the green guy's leg snapped off right at the foot. He's currently being held together by some epoxy putty and a finishing nail. Randomly the Murlocs seem to tilt over as their weight shifts, so a fall from the heights might be in several owners' future. Keep these guys situated on a wide surface and add additional weight to the base if you have the option. Other than that, these guys are a great addition to any Warcraft figurine collector's collection. <br /> <br />============================ <br />**UPDATE** I ordered a second set of these guys from Amazon and I ran into the same problem that reviewer "Micah" mentioned. Both Murlocs in my new set were of the green skin only - same exact paint scheme for each Murloc. <br /> <br />BUYER BE AWARE!!! <br /> <br />The Murloc action figure set you receive **may not** match the blue / green duo that Amazon has pictured on their item page.

BUYER BE AWARE!!!

Sure, these things can vary.. but the Murloc duo I received are twins. Both are primarily blue with yellow spines and green hands and feet. The EXACT same color scheme each. Even in game the named Murlocs are a different color skin then the rest. Plainly the image above shows two different color Murlocs. So, while I didn't mind waiting the extended delay for release, I would have waited months more to have them look as nice as the picture listed. In fact, the PACKAGING has a green murloc on it. <br /> <br />Is it just random? do they want us to collect more so we can have some Murlocy variety? <br /> <br />Overall, nice figures, but I'll prolly take some model paint to one myself.

Is it just random? do they want us to collect more so we can have some Murlocy variety?

Overall, nice figures, but I’ll prolly take some model paint to one myself.
