Originally, it was intended that our highly esteemed author and forum member EmperorDinobot would review the Papo Ampelosaurus. But in July 2025, we had to learn of his tragic death at only 36 years old. I hope the following lines will do justice to his legacy.

The word on the street is that Papo’s newest and most flamboyant take on the king tyrant has been pushed back until 2027. Apparently, the first tests were not up to company standards. So who knows, perhaps the final product will be slightly, drastically, or even completely different from this digital rendition that first dropped back in December 2024.

Papo has announced that they will be retiring six of their prehistoric products this year:
Giganotosaurus.
Carnotaurus.
Blue Oviraptor.
Plesiosaurus.
Brown running Tyrannosaurus rex.
Therizinosaurus.
So if you’re hoping to add any of those to your collection, better act while you still can!

It’s been quite a time for reveals, hasn’t it? Here is the 2026 Papo Dunkleosteus, their first stab at the savage sea stabber. Naturally, it features an articulated jaw.
And at some point next year, we should also be getting the Anhanguera, Yangchuanosaurus, and feathered Tyrannosaurus rex that were originally slated for this year.

Hey, welcome everyone to our review here on the Dinosaur Toy Blog. And I’m just gonna be honest: this is a doozy. Today, crazy8wizard and I will be reviewing Papo’s infamous Protoceratops from their 2022 wave.

Papo’s had their ups and downs in recent years, with some toys still being pretty darned good and others being pretty darned bad, if we’re being brutally honest. But it appears that we’re in luck for next year!
Anhanguera. This appears to be a digital model as opposed to a physical toy, but it looks very promising.

Times have been very hard lately, and the smallest gestures are worth living for. I would like to thank Happy Hen Toys for providing me with this interesting specimen, so I could pass the time playing with it, photographing it, and helping me to focus on something less painful.

For 2024, Papo will be releasing three new dinosaurs. First we have the armoured French titanosaur Ampelosaurus. Looks like one of Papo’s better sauropods, although the colour scheme is nearly identical to that of the CollectA version.
Second up is Corythosaurus, the famous helmeted hadrosaur.

My great thanks to Happy Hen Toys for their generosity in providing this figure for review, which is now available for sale at their website happyhentoys.com.
Two whole years after rumors of its existence first began circulating among dino collectors, Papo’s figurine of the Australian apex predator, Kronosaurus queenslandicus, has finally emerged from the realm of myth and begun landing on the shores of retail shops worldwide.

My sincere thanks to Happy Hen Toys for furnishing this review sample.
More Mosasaurus toys have been produced in the 8 years since Jurassic World than in the entire previous history of the toy industry. The majority of those toys have been influenced by the JW design, with spikes all over the back, cavities all over the head, and an old-fashioned tail.

Papo’s 2023 prehistoric assortment includes a pair of new dinosaurs.
Also slated for release are these two impressive-looking sea reptiles, which were originally supposed to come out this year.
These previously retired figures will be re-released.

A long time ago, Edward Drinker Cope found the largest carnivore that ever existed, Tyrannosaurus rex, although he thought it was a ceratopsid, so he named it Manospondylus gigas.
