I would describe my favourites too, but I think if I did that I'd just end up regurgitating stuff that's already been said ;)

Papo are very good, they have enormous potential but I don't think they've realised it yet....

I know they won't, but if Jurassic World and the people involved were to step up their authenticity for the movie, I do believe Papo would follow suit. Ah well. I still think Papo has the best detail out there, and it is still one of my favorite companies. But I hope to see a feathered (at the very least) dino from them soon.
If there are velociraptors in the Jurassic World, they won't be feathered. In fact, none of the dinosaurs will be. Here is the proof from the horse's mouth:

Right; I saw that as well.

Although this is unrelated, I still would like to know. I was on Shane Foulkes' website, and his models for sale show that the models are already painted. Is this the case, or are the models sold unpainted and the photos are just examples? Thanks.

They're unpainted unless stated otherwise. That's always the case with model kits.

Carnegie is actually getting quite good in that area, GreatWhite, although they are outclassed by Papo. Carnegie's main strength (and Papo's main weakness) is scientifically accurate models.

Yeah that's why I'm planning to get Carnegie models for my Diorama. I find them scientifically accurate :D
