Natural spots, and a fishy shine to this Koi give it a very realistic look. Material is softer and more pliable than other Safari products and belly is squishy.
The hand painted spots on this Koi give it a natural look. Tancho is quite "soft" compared to other Safari products. This Koi is hollow and somewhat squishy. Figure has a nice swimming pose. Shine to the scales gives it a "wet" look that adds to the natural look. Overall we love the markings and look of this figure

Koi fish are ornamental domesticated varieties of the Amur carp, selectively bred for their vibrant colors and striking patterns. Originating in China and refined in Japan, koi have become a symbol of beauty, perseverance, and good fortune. They are most commonly seen in outdoor ponds and water gardens, where their colors—ranging from white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream—can shine under natural light.
Each koi variety has its own distinct markings and cultural significance. For instance, the Kohaku (white with red markings) symbolizes success in career and life, while the Showa (black with red and white) represents life’s balance of challenges and triumphs. Because of their calm demeanor and elegant movements, koi are often associated with tranquility and meditation.
Koi fish can grow quite large, often reaching lengths of two to three feet, and are known for their impressive lifespan, with some individuals living more than 50 years in ideal conditions. With proper care, koi thrive in well-maintained ponds with good water quality and adequate space.
