Hi, I have a Super Soaker 50: Classic Series but the color scheme seems to be all wrong. The body is teal colored, the reservoir is orange and the pump handle is yellow. Can somebody tell me if it's a real super soaker gun or a fake :)

You may be thinking about the 10th anniversary edition. That was chrome and gree. This is classic series, which I always thought was just XPs. However, the logo seems right. The reservoir seems the same, which I believe make sense for the time, because I think the classic series still had twist on reservoirs. It also looks like a sports a pull valve. Interesting. I have no way of knowing, but isoaker might.

It isn't the 10th anniversary edition.
The reservoir is twist on.
It's not a pull valve.

I see no reason why it would be fake. Check for copyright Larami.

Its probably a re-release. I'm sure they re-released the SS50 at some point with a different color scheme to denote that it was in fact a re-release.

Many of the XP-70's I've seen recently are a blue body with green reservoir/PC, when the original I had back in the day was a yellow body with blue reservoir/PC

@atvan You can see the Larami embossed logo next to the trigger in the picture, above the thumb.
