Ladies and gentleman, dinosaur toy collectors, Members of the honorable Dinosaur Toy Forum, I have to announce my huge, latest acquisition: the Epic Papo Limited edition Spinosaurus!


It’s Epic in the true sense of the word.
I’ve just received mine from Alcaicería, a Spanish shop located in the center of Granada. I’ve ordered it the night between two days ago and yesterday, so it was a really fast shipping which I paid just 5€! Both the package and the collector box (arrived through GLS) arrived quite damaged, but the big size of the latter prevented the figure’s damage. Anyways, I’m satisfied by the order I made.
What I can say about this Spinosaurus which it hast been said until now? It’s a wonderful model, bigger than expected, and as
@Shonisaurus said in its collection thread it isn’t a photogenic model at all. When you see it in person you can’t see most of the defects that seem to exist in the photos, first of all the awkward appearance of the pose.
I don’t know who the sculptor is, but he/she made a master work creating this guy. He/she gave importance to every detail, from the head to the feet. The chest is sculpted and painted in a way that you can almost see it’s lungs. Shortly, it’s a masterpiece.
And I have to say that the more I see the ell tail the more I consider it superior to all the other tail renditions of Spinosaurus.
As other forum members noted the seams of the tail, limbs and head are visible, but for me only with a close inspection. And the lower quality of the paint job respect to the prototype model doesn’t make it a low quality figure. The only thing that disturb me a bit are the teeth, which could be better painted.
About the overall quality, is what I expected from a limited edition Spinosaurus.
Anyways, I’m more than satisfied by this new Spinosaurus from Papo, which for me is the best one available on the moment if not in all branches, at least in the paleoartistic one.
In closing, I want to wish in advance a Merry Christmas, happy new year and vacation to all of you who will not be on the forum during this period and for this reason will not see my greetings on Christmas Day.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
