Papo: New for 2023

French reviews of Papo Mosasaurus

And for the interested the dragons.

NGL the dragons are dope. If the dinosaurs will have articulations like dragons, then I would love it!

I like the horntail dragon a lot..not sure on the water dragon though..too many Spinosaurus vibes..

[DragonRider02]

I am really impressed with the paint quality, sculpt and design of the Air Dragon. It's so lifelike, as if it stepped right out of high-budget live-action fantasy film. And I definitely didn't expect it to be fully articulated! It's infinitely more impressive than McFarlane's newly resurrected Dragons line.

As a dragon fan who has avoided Papo's previous efforts as they seemed more like Schleich style products than the two Schleich dragons I own, that air dragon is such a shock to me.  And even though it's not for me, the water dragon is also pretty impressive.  The air dragon and the Mosasaur are pretty much must buys for me if I can find them.

It's hilarious how Papo is getting more praise for their dragons than their dinosaurs this year, especially when papo used to be the king of realistic dinosaur toys.

[Flaffy]

The dragons makes the dinosaurs look cheap by comparison.

I would have been totally psyched about that Mosasaurus if only it had come out a decade ago.

That air dragon is stunning (glad I'm not the only one who thought of the Horntail) the articulation is incredible, the water one is also neat but I agree it feels a bit too similar to their Spinosaurus in some regards, would have preferred a proper sea serpent.
The Mosasaurus is also really nice in hand even if the angle of the tail looks a bit odd from some angles, would definitely pick that up depending on the price.

A really nice sea serpent would have been fantastic. As long as it didn't end up like that Basilisk? I think that's what that stick is?

Yeah same. Perhaps even less than a decade ago, and while it's still a well made figure with good detail, it just takes too many creative liberties for my liking. Kids will absolutely love it though, I'm sure.

As I predicted, the Sea Dragon is my personal favorite. Basically, It's the answer to "What if Spinosaurus was a dragon?", and the head reminds me of Dragon Maleficent and Singe from Dragon's Lair.

The Mosasaurus looks like a good compromise between scientific accuracy and artistic license, as we usually expect from Papo.

Papo is also releasing a Nautilus this year, which could be a pretty solid looking option of you're looking to flesh out your underwater collection a bit.



I have also asked them if there is any differences between the Woolly Rhino released this year and the 2016 one.

Wonder how it compares with CollectA's version. Was a bit disappointed that the prototype wasn't shown at the 2023 London Toy Fair.
