Which means we don't have to worry about "land gear" for the head. Though
its logical to assume they shouldn't stay out of the water for too long.

Thats a good idea. How do we make preists then? We could make it one color
(like white) or a particualr thing that fits onto the SM. Let's toy with
the idea a bit more.

If the SM tails came in more than just white or black I'd be more inclined
to agree. But, perhaps we should try modifying a SM outfit. Kind of like
the way Katoro Ono does his mini-figs...
