| I do not have CollectA's orcas, but I am confused also. Googling "CollectA orca", i found a No2 here also [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , and that was just a quick search The 3rd one looks more like the CollectA one, and clearly has the CollectA logo, so perhaps it is the right one I hope somebody who owns one bought from a reliable source, so we can solve this interesting riddle Of course it is possible to ask CollectA directly. If you do, I would love to hear what they ansver |

| Yea but what's weird is that this is also a pic from that same SK listing except he definitely took this one [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]and it doesn't look like any of them (well, most like the SK I guess). Heck, I never bought this back a long time ago when searching for CollectAs cuz I kept finding that weird second picture with the poor paint job. It makes me think there's two versions: a foreign listing that looks like the CollectA or SK listing, and the second weird one that is a cheap way of continuing the line after all these years (cuz apparently it's still in production I think) Also, I didn't find this model on the Toy Animal wiki or in walkarounds. it's like a 2006 relic of the past or something |

| I took a look at Modellpferdeversand, and it looks "right" [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]But in Spielzeug-guenstig the other major, German toy-E-shop,it is the poor one [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| At this point the more people who can post a picture of their own the better cuz there might be two versions or something |

I think you are right !!! It would be great to get pictures of both for TAI , if this is the case ! Should we/you/I start a topic asking people for pictures of their Collecta Orca, - or better perhaps if you add something to the heading of this topic ? Something like : "...do you have one ? " .... Well, it is just an idea. Only if you agree , of course |

| I have it among others. Can't have enough orcas! And yeah, I added info to the topic headline On a side note, I actually ordered the CollectA orca last night from Amazon. Let's see what I get I mean it's definitely gonna show up in one of two ways... |

| The second picture is the old version. In 2012, CollectA upgraded their orca. They improved the painting and the fin. The first and third pics are the new version.

| My orca came in (fast ) and so here are some pics! (removed cuz they're at Toy Animal Wiki now ) So glad it's not the ugly version. :) quite pleased Mystery solved I guess xD? Although there's still a chance you might pick up the ugly one o-o
