The coloration of the Papo Swordfish is truly impressive. The black, grey, and off-white hues, with a vibrant sheen, mimic the natural coloring of these fish. The intricate striping on the body adds depth and realism to the figure, capturing the essence of a real swordfish.
One of the standout features of this model is the well-shaped sail fin on the back. The internal spines are meticulously sculpted, adding a touch of authenticity to the figure. The figure's dynamic curves, both left to right and up and down, bring a sense of motion and energy to the piece.
Of course, the defining characteristic of the swordfish is its impressive sword-like bill. The Papo Swordfish figurine does not disappoint in this regard, with a carefully crafted sword measuring over an inch long. This striking feature adds drama and excitement to the overall design.

One of the most fascinating features of the swordfish is its bill. It is longer and sharper in males, reaching up to 3 meters (10 feet) in length. This remarkable appendage is used for slashing and impaling prey, making it an efficient weapon for capturing fish and squid.
The body of the swordfish is covered in smooth, metallic-colored scales, ranging from gray to blue on the upper side and silver on the belly. This distinctive coloration helps it blend in with the surrounding waters, providing a degree of camouflage.
