“In the end, I'd say that the pros of Angler Attack far outweigh its cons - first off, there are more of them, and secondly, the good things are cooler than the bad things are uncool. Not to mention, a majority of the cons listed above are only about the set itself, not its... More pieces, so if you just don't build the thing, it'll definitely be worth your precious money.”

Brickipedia
“The angler fish's back "fins" are made from slopes. The sides of its body are using SNOT with "fins" on both of them. The lower "jaw" is built from shaft holders with teeth slid in. The top "jaw" features a near-identical design to the lower jaw. The "eyes" are built from... More transparent domes and are tilted away from the centre.”
