Nah, I’d be willing to bet he’s quite real and not repainted. He just got airbrushed with a little too much purple. Check out koishii’s peacock fledge (the lovely photos are hers).
As you can see, the colors are the same intensity as hers except for the purple. We see this sort of thing all the time. Different people paint them all year long so some have variation to them. Someone just had a very purple sort of a day at the factory! 😆
He’d be great for someone who loves purple! He’s pretty intense.
