Pics are somehow dead for me.
But knowing a Korean sculptor is behind all these miracles is really a surprise.
BTW, I too can't read Korean

Hi, it's Papo Korea.
Before leaving the country on 10th November, Seo Jeong Un, Papo's sculptor, had a little job for you. If any of you dinosaur lovers want Papo to make anything specific, please give us your comments. We'll have a vote, and the most popular dinosaur I will personally research and pass on to Mr Seo. Mr Seo is quite happy to consider anything that lots of you want produced.
I have tried to have a go myself and choose something, but as there isn't much material [in Korea], it doesn't look like it'll be that easy.
I've thought about South Korean dinosaurs...(yes, I know - it's an impossible task)...
1. Koreanosaurus: discovered in South Korea and named in 2010. The first part of this dinosaur was found by the Korean Dinosaur Research Centre excavation team in May, 2003, at the Pibongni fossil egg site in Poseongun in Chollanam province. The length of the full animal was around 2.4m and the length of the lower leg bone and the femur are roughly similar, so it would have mostly walked on all fours, but it's also estimated that it could walk bipedally sometimes too.

2. Koreaceratops
[Both descriptions are taken straight from Wikipedia]

If Papo International releases another dinosaur, maybe it'll be a dinosaur discovered in Korea!

For the rest of you, which dinosaur would you like to see Papo make?

Thanks for the translations!

I am very curious about the sculptors of PAPO dinosaur and prehistoric line, How many sculptures and who are they? I'm noticed that 2016's Kaprosuchus looks like the Nile Croc sculptured by Terry Norton.

Most of them are sculpted by Seo Jung-woon, at least the dinosaurs and pterosaurs (and probably the Kaprosuchus--the style looks similar to me). The marine reptiles and mammals are by someone else, I think.
