The Chaos Effect line, released in 1998, was an exciting and experimental extension of the Jurassic Park franchise, blending DNA from different dinosaurs and modern animals to create hybrid creatures. This line was meant to be tied into a planned animated series, which ultimately never aired, but the toys brought to life these bizarre and dangerous hybrid creations. Each figure in the line featured colorful, exaggerated designs and often came with special action features or capture gear.
Tanaconda mixed Tanystropheus and anaconda DNA, resulting in a reptilian figure with constrictor neck action. This figure came with three pieces of capture gear and had a uniquely snake-like appearance. It was a repaint of the Tanystropheus figure that was released as part of the Jurassic Park series II line by Kenner.
