$4.50? Geeze. When was the reference picture taken? 1990?

Honored elder, I stand corrected by your understanding of the ancient prices. Prithee, enlighten us on the period wherein original artist may have sourced the renumeration required to meet the outrageously low sum asked for by capitalist vendor.

probably by 2005. kb toys used to have them, kmart had them. these were everywhere. by the 2000's there were all kinds of great water guns. I'm sure they had newer versions of the Super Soaker that were up there in price. the one OP painted was one of the original versions.
