Can Elementals Really Look This Bad?

Believe it or not but these are supposed to be Water, Fire Wind and Earth Elementals Can Elementals Really Look This Bad, yup when there are blocky Grenadier castings like these. 

I my defense, these were the only pieces I had available for my 1970's D&D Campaign. I replaced them asap once better casting like the Ral Partha Wind Elemental found here World Historyprof: Search results for water elemental

 These are metal pieces that I painted in the 1970's.
