No idea. You did the original post [Moderator edit] which left people puzzled as they tried to make sense of what you had said. [Moderator edit]

You can ask on all flights but I would recommend to do so directly after boarding. As they are loaded on on outbound flights they might not be available anymore on any inbound flights.

Collected one on SQ25 as forgot to ask on SQ26 being first flight after 2 years & 4 months in fallow
The green bear - the latest green one
Need to check where the other bears are or perhaps have them given away .. jet lagging from Marrakech & from LH flight cancellations too .

just updating on here. Asked for the bears for my kids just after boarding SIN-BLR. FA went to check, then came back and said they couldn’t find any, and said they don’t load them on all flights. Not sure if they meant they don’t have them on certain routes (ie regional) or they just don’t have them sometimes. I have to be honest, was a bit disappointed they didn’t have them.

The bears are reserved for First/Suite and Business Class passengers (if any left). For kids in all cabins there are seasonal toys (coloring books, table games, etc) - there are plenty of those offered. So, if you didn`t fly in First/Business, you shouldn`t be upset because you didn`t receive First Class bear. Especially now, when airlines cut costs. Are paper menus back?
no paper menus. Referred to digital menus. Ordered BTC options for 3 of us, and my wife had pre-selected the Asian veggie option online. Those were all delivered properly.

So they probably didn`t have them on that route. I know that the bears are limited, and SQ has a quite strict inventory control. Maybe next time you`ll get the bear. The hype was because of the boy band member got it, but in other times, it is just a bear made in China-unless you collect everything SQ.
