Limited edition brown papo T-Rex VS Regular brown papo T-Rex

[Papacube]

Hello Everybody,

I have written a article about the two models of brown running T-rex from Papo : 55027 from 2012 and 55075 from 2019. The article is in French, but there is a video and a lot of picture.
Spoiler : the painting on the two models is different !

Without a doubt, the brown tyrannosaurus rex running from 2012 was more perfect. Thanks for sharing the video, Papacube.

Well, given how much more expensive the 2012 one is, I am perfectly fine with the 2019 one having a less perfect paint job. Still need to pick up versions of so many Papos...I only have 8 in total.

To me it looks like the new one is just missing a dark wash.

Pretty much this. Okay, 2012 also has some stripes.

I just picked a more recent release of the original JP Spinosaurus, and it seems to have the same general difference in paint application as these two, comparing the newer one to the original. So the change-over isn't limited to the brown running T-rex.

I like the 2019 version I recently picked up. I wasn't aware that this was a different run.

I like the 2019 version I recently picked up. I wasn't aware that this was a different run.

The pictures in the thread tell the story. The original has a visual 'weightiness' about it that gives it a stronger sense of presence. I got mine in a Mastermind shop in Toronto back in the day when it retailed for $40 Cdn. Also picked up the green one at the same time.  Don't know how Mastermind got hold of this rariety, the brown running version, but it gradually became too pricey to acquire.

On the other hand, your recent version is a very good value for the money. Dollar for dollar, you didn't lose out on this purchase. Your image has a certain glow about it that the original lacks and that distinguishes it from the original.
