Interesting and beautiful manta, bigger than the older box one. Congratulation Roger

Thanks! I don't have it on my shelf yet and I am a bit superstitious. A few parcels for me got lost recently.

Too bad

It is really nice manta.
But, from which set exactly it is ? I have one Sharks of the World Deluxe set, but there is no this manta.
Maybe it is older set, retired now, because I checked the Colorata website and I didn`t see it there.

you are correct, that was an error on my part as the editor. it is the older Sharks of the Word set, not Deluxe

It can’t be a part of the older set, I have it and there is no hole on the belly. The Older sharks set is still available. So what it is ?

You know at this point I don't know. It also has an odd texture. Colorata releases theire sets multiple times; it could be from another set. Best to reach out to the reviewer by commenting on the blog directly. It's not my figure, so I can't say.

The reviewer writes this: There is a museum line where individual figures were sold but since has been faded into obscurity. It only includes a Great white shark, whale shark and manta ray that I have reviewed. The other 2 is the sharks of the world and sharks of the world deluxe box set

Thank you for this info Blaine .
Now it is clear, why we can`t find the set for this model :)
The only info I can give is that, the texture of this manta is the same as the texture used for the bigger sharks, from the deluxe set. ( the smaller ones are again smooth)
Which is interesting choice, because all Colorata models are normaly smooth.
