Papo New For 2025

[Dilopho]

The Edmontosaurus's pose is kind of interesting because it seems to be running with both legs going forward on the same side, like an elephant

I'm so happy to see papo finally coming up with something interesting!
I've only kept the Pentaceratops and the modern "limited edition" Spinosaurus in my collection, which are still great, but I've been so disappointed in the last few years.
While the feathered T rex doesn't tempt me at all, I'm really interested in the pterosaur and the Yangchuanosaurus (its skull looks very finely sculpted, just as good as PNSO I'd say, in a very interesting pose, even if I already have some, I might just buy it. As for the Edmontosaurus, I'll have to see what it looks like, but it's not ugly at all! Papo has real potential to offer beautiful, scientifically accurate, well-painted and finely sculpted figures, and I hope they've learned from the last few years and the arrival of PNSO and Haolonggood and will go even further in that direction!

I think the Tyrannosaurus and the Yangchuanosaurus might be lipped.

Possibly, but it's hard to tell until we get higher resolution or clearer images of the actual figures.

Well, here they are

The pterosaur still looks like a render to my eye.

Well done, Papo, well done indeed!

This is what I was waiting of Papo! 

The yangchuanosaurus is just the perfect essence of Papo (impressive sculpt, detail and colouration with extra long sharp teeth, large stable feet) but I am amazed how they still added A LOT of accurateness in the figure: the pose and those amazing not pronated arms with long claws).

The tyrannosaurus is even more accurate than I expected ever from Papo, they added some queratinization over the eyes, the large scales on the snout ... it even has the feathering in the correct places it would have had, but also includes some Papo details as the long feathers on the tail, same about the stable pose and feet.

The Edmontosaurus reminds me of their Iguanodon but with much better sculpt on the limbs. They are the best part of the figure.

The Anhanguera is not a real figure but a drawing like some that are displayed in the catalog. Hope it is as good as it looks.

Papo was responsible for getting me into collecting dinosaur models, and it feels so good to be excited for Papo models again.

Same here! My first dinosaur figure was the rex!

It was sad, really, to have seen Papo enter a 'dark age' of a sorts over the last few years, as regards prehistoric animals, so yes, this is a feel good moment for sure.

Pretty sure at that one early point it was.

All three of those are renders...

Well so the sucho could be a 2024 figure too!
Also this year marks 20 years of myself collecting papo!

Yeah,my first dinosaur purchase was four Papo figures. None of those four are in my collection any more! But that Anhanguera likely will be.

Remarkable how much higher the accuracy bar has been raised over the past decade.

Remarkable how much higher the accuracy bar has been raised over the past decade.

Ironically, I don't accuracy is entirely the issue in Papo's case; it's more about their aesthetic. The early days of Papo were just fine as off-brand, higher-end JP replicas; over time, they've shifted away from being so direct and more towards a generally pop-culture-friendly style; but they've had some growing pains in balancing certain design choices and ended up producing a lot of weird or ugly figures, amidst some more effective results and the occasional surprisingly accurate product too.
Just look at the 2023 Kronosaurus and Concavenator - the former bears plenty of artistic license while still being a recognizable and appealing model, while the latter is a bizarre mishmash of unpleasant traits that's only barely identifiable. If anything, now that there are bigger contenders on both sides of the spectrum (PNSO/Haolonggood for accuracy, Nanmu/Rebor/W-Dragon for Hollywood creatures), it's probably in Papo's best interest to continue towing the stylistic line and continue delivering unique sculpts, so long as they maintain the right balance. Judging by the 2025 announcements, it looks like they'll do alright.

Here is the full catalogue https://www.calameo.com/read/006174576eb2fabb41dda

 It looks like there are no repaints or releases. Just the 4 previously mentioned new releases.

The following are not present in the catalogue so I assume are retired:
-Feathered Velociraptor (Both versions now retired)
-Apatosaurus
-Archaeopteryx
