'Hioki' Orca

This is an interesting Intex orca clone. It's slightly smaller than the toy whose design it borrows from. The valve placement is interesting - the valve on the tailfluke has been relocated to dead-center, just under the fluke. It seems to have an additional, completely unnecessary air chamber for one of the pec-fins.

All in all, quite a nice toy. If one wanted a pod of orca inflatables, this would be an adolescent, I guess ;)
