Description: The 2000 Lampreys has a few design cues I'm not in love with, but it's still a figure I'd throw into the conversation for top 10 repaint era figures, probably even top 5.

I only ever managed to track down one of these Lampreys, and that was only because I got him with his submarine years ago off of ebay.
I love the colors on this version, they match the blue Undertows very nicely. However, I don't like how on this version they tried to get away with coloring the forearms and lower legs all blue to lengthen the gloves and boots. It doesn't look right.
It's a shame the lamprey mold didn't get more use in the 2000's. | |

The oily paint wipes didn't do these any favors. But, the fact that they are a perfect color match for both the 2000 Undertow and the 2001 Sub Viper really elevates them. You can set up a complementary Moray crew really easily.
I really wish I'd bought a few more of these and the Sub Vipers back when they were cheap. (I think the Sub Vipers could be had from Asia. I seem to remember Lampreys, too. But, not 100% sure on that.) | |

The fake knee-boots look pretty lame, and the paint-wipes also dampen the look. Though, the colors are great with that in mind. It's a nice alternative to the original.
Great shot RTG, the lighting shows the perfect amount of detail. | |

I've never seen one of these Lampreys in person, but I've always liked how he looks in photos. |
