Monster Fish lives ! ...Fish Tales mod

[Sgt GrizZ]

Saw that some US guys has used this toy Fish figure on their Fish Tales machines and I really like it - it does look uncannily like the animated DMD Monster Fish in the game !

So I grabbed one off ebay, it came today, so I have just now positioned him on the game and added an extra light , tied in to the Monster Fish left loop insert, so it flashes and illuminates him during Monster Fish mode ! :smokin:

Ultimately I would like to give him LED eyes that will light up, but for tonight I'm pretty pleased with him . I may tinker with the position of the light. I like the way he has his hand on the Boat almost like he is gonna climb in.

Some photos ... I'll post video later.

Also a smaller version ...which some people have mounted behind the window of the Stretch The Truth plastic.

Nice ! Were you the first to use one ...that you know of ?

 

[Jumbosinbad360]

I'd never seen or heard of one before hence the post on pinside. I thought It was the dogs sphericals and still do, but I must admit yours looks even more amazing with the led underneath it. I just turned my ultra bright led flasher 90 degrees so it would light up the toy.

I see there's another ft on eBay if anyone's after one

Mean looking fish. Good work Guys, I like these add-ons as they can easily be removed but when they tie in with the theme, they look great.
