Papo Anaconda 2020 - Anyone seen this anywhere?

I heard from a Papo sales rep that this item was cancelled and never released, yet it remains visible on many sites. Anyone know anything more about this?

From my understanding this model was scrapped completely (maybe something wrong with the bendable components of it?). But it will not be released or for sale at all... It seems there is a lot of confusion about it still though.

It's too bad.

Good to know !

See, I already forgot

You were less active for a while so it is more than normal. Things could have changed meanwhile.

I assume that they ran into similar problems as the Rebor Titanoboa, except that unlike Rebor they were responsible enough to do extensive product testing first and thus decided to cancel it instead of releasing a flawed product.
In case of the Titanoboa, the figure started to brittle in warmer environments, a lot of collectors who live in warmer regions ran into this problem.

I knew that Rebor had many issues with their Titanoboa, although I wasn’t aware that people were experiencing issues with it after the fact. I noticed that mine had a very fragile jaw and I can’t really bend the snake in the neck area. I haven’t had any other issues with it but I do keep it in its box most of the time.

It looks like Schleich will be releasing a bendible anaconda in a wildlife set for the summer. I’m interested to see how that turns out.

Could it be that they sold the model for Schleich to sell ?

I noticed in Numaans pictures that it looks rather similar

For those who do not know what we are talking about, here is the picture, I put on TAW

If you point on the pictur in the "Anaconda" page [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , you can see I stressed it was not manufactured after all .

In case you wonder if it is ok to use the picture from Papos catalogue, I did ask them.
But they never ansvered, so I thought *beeep*, and just did it. I mean : they did not say no

Hahahah, they never reply so they never will complain that you use their pictures. At least, from Mojö Fun, Recur and Safari Ltd we have their official permission if needed.
Good idea about the mention on green anaconda's page.
