2nd looks like a mappa puffer. They are not blue. Bad photographing skills, IMO.
3rd is a common porcupine. Either the photographer doesn't know how to adjust their white balance or that puffer is dyed.
I knew they were all different puffs, its just that I never came across BLUE ones before so it just kind of shocked me thats all. I agree with you on the porcupine pic though the pic does look to be altered.

Pretty much exactly what I was gonna say, Pufferpunk.
There is such a thing as a blue porcupine puffer. Though the one in that pic isn't one. Here is a pic of one that i dealt with a few years back. He wasn't going for cheep ether 
but at the same time 
I don't see anything funny about a fish dipped in acid so a dye can penetrate it's skin & then dipped in acid again, to irritate it's slimecoat so the dye stays in. Injecting dye or paint into fish causes severe pathological changes. This results in progressive degeneration of body tissues in the fish . Most of those fish don't live very long. Just long enough to sell for big $$$ as a novelty.
