Animal Planet Errors?

I just discovered that my Animal Planet Clownfish figure has an error. Apparently, some of its left side has a weird smooth surface. Does anyone else have this? Is this normal? I cannot tell from the photo on TAI, which doesn’t show this side.

Also, I have another supposed error on another Animal Planet branded figure. It is a shark that is apparently from a Sea Life tube. It is stamped and painted like the so-called “Tiger Shark” from that set, but it is closer in shape to the normal
“Bull Shark” from the set. Could this be a “Bull Shark” mold stamped and painted as a “Bull Shark”? Could this be the animal-figure equivalent of a hybrid “mule” coin?! The dents on the figure could support the hypothesis of a misstamped item. What do you think? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Well, I think the "mistake" shark is not a bullshark, but a piece that has been unmolded too early (while it was still hot).
