I want re-position the new Papo Giganotosaurus. Any tips

Depends what position your trying to get. Removing the legs and tilting the body forward, slice up and unbend the neck so it's looking forward, maybe slice up and straighten the tail?

Just  trying to make it in the same pose as the PNSO one.

or this

I would just buy a different figure. If you want a Giganotosaurus in a decent pose, there are plenty of options, like the Eofauna. The Papo's sculpt isn't even that good anyway.

I know, i just was so excited for Papo. Who knows. Maybe its actually a different pose. Maybe its two poses in one, like the pentacertops from 2019. And papo has the best details

i would wait until it's released then formulate a plan. You might just be able to get a similar figure and switch out parts like the head and arms. Maybe use Nanmu's Indominus Rex body?  It's also probable there will be knockoffs of it in different poses.

True, and also, its not like i could afford nammu's figures, let alone eofauna

Yes, given that there are umpteen Papo knockoffs on Aliexpress at any given time, going for strikingly low prices, you can be quite sure that in a few years there will be many pseudo-Papo Gigas available to slice and dice and otherwise cannibalize in a kit-bash project.

I found some good inspiration for customization of this figure. Just need a couple of plastic spears and a little glue.

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

So, either everyone's ignoring it or I missed the conversation...but, what's that weird thing sticking out of the back of the head? Is that supposed to be a very exposed parietal?

I think we were all too busy dunking on it to notice, but that does seem to be what that is. Enhances the Ace Ventura resemblance.

Got bored, so, I Frankensteined a few stock images together to create a better posture. I'm not an expert at this kind of thing:

Duna

I think it would have looked really nice like this ...



Shonisaurus

This is what the brutal giganotosaurus would look like. Wonderful Dune photoshop.
