Papo: New for 2023

[Libraraptor]

Actually I like that ceratopsian.

[Jorgesaurus]

I love the einiosaurus papo 2023

I love the einiosaurus papo 2023

Smallish head aside, I may get this one, regardless. Chalk it up to natural variability.

[austrosaurus]

Yet more proof that Papo have just about joined Schleich in complete irrelevance when it comes to accurate, realistic dinosaur models.

question: Mr Seo did the einiosaurus? Im not sure due there is no beter quality pics of einio

No, he didn't.

No, he didn't.

Source? Im notice some traits, but like I said befoe I need better resolution of the pics

[Halichoeres]

To me the Einiosaurus much more closely resembles the work of the sculptor who made the Amargasaurus, although I don't think we've ever known their name.

I think the difference in style (and quality) compared to the Pentaceratops on the same page is good enough an indicator that they're not from the same sculptor.

[GiganotosaurusFan]

Seems like the same sculptor as the Concavenator.
Also, I think that we can divide the work of Papo into 3 sculptors:
Mr. Seo Jung Woon: Penta, Giga(skin detail similarity), Spinosaurus(both), Mosasaurus, Kronosaurus, etc.
Unknown Sculptor 1(may work for Schleich as well, detail work similar): Tylosaurus, Protoceratops, maybe Einosaurus(detail work)?
Unknown Sculptor 2: Plesiosaurus, Amargasaurus, Concavenator, maybe Einosaurus(similar detail work)?

Everything Dinosaur just announced that the Mosasaurus and the Kronosaurus will now be 2023 toys, coming out in Q1 and Q3 respectively.

[Loon]

I gotta say, I like the Cocavenator in a way. We throw "movie monster" around a lot for figures that are really just poor reconstructions, but this at least looks like something you'd see in a monster movie. I can just imagine this jerk snickering with Titanosaurus at the bottom of the sea.

Concavenator
I still like this model. Many people hate it, but I just can't grow to dislike it. Maybe I just got whacked in the head somewhere early on, because I also like Schleichs Velociraptors, Carnotaurus, and Giganotosaurus, but who knows. 8/10, will be purchasing.

Einosaurus
"Alright Papo, you just made an amazing Pentaceratops and Styracosaurus, some of the best models you have to offer. Now people want even more ceratopsians! Maybe a widely requested triceratops r-"

"Einosaurus."

"I mean, that's fine too, I am sure it would look amaz-"

"And reduce its neck to less than a centimeter."

3/10.

Mosasaurus
Surprisingly, I love this model. Many people are not a fan due to the fishtail and poor anatomy in some areas, but I like it quite a bit. 9/10.

Kronosaurus
By far one of Papos best releases in a while. Good anatomy, detail that tells a story, and a nice pose that does not make it belly-flat on the shelf while still looking amazing and realistic. 10/10, if only their dinosaurs were like this!

Why would the fish tail be a slight against the figure? The fish tail is accurate.

Heard a bunch of people complaining about the fish tail on a discord server. Not the fluke, but the tail itself.

Thanks to https://www.facebook.com/paleonerdIT for the heads up!

[Carnoking]

Doesn't look half bad for a Papo interpretation. I'm particularly fond of it with the mouth closed. I don't know, I suppose I could be swayed.

[suspsy]

Not bad, but the new CollectA one looks better.

[Gwangi]

CollectA's is the way to go. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that right whale though.

[Pliosaurking]

Collecta's is definitely superior, although this is alright looking. It looks better with the mouth closed in my eyes.

[bmathison1972]

Looks a bit small. Too bad, I was thinking of getting it to represent the southern right whale (I use the Safari as a northern)
