Carnotaurus vs Carnotaurus

[David Phantomhive]

This one is kinda tough, but I am leaning toward the Papo version.  Both are really nice imo, but I have not really been collecting dinos since the 80s and early 90s lol.  Back then, there was Invicta, Carnegie, and of course my fav - Dino Riders! ...These guys have come a long way! 

[David Phantomhive]

LMAO @ that vid!

LOL, you need to open a poll for this? A better contender would be Carnegie Carnotaurus than that horrible Schleich thing.

I know that,but,as both are released in 2013,I decided to do the same as the topic "Diablo vs Diablo".I know the Schleich one is ugly (don't want to offend anybody)

No need to worry, barely anyone on the forum likes Schleich

I think that Schleich version is not perfect, but is not horrible.

Really? I think it fails on all fronts. You say it is trying to be like the Disney version, but it doesn't look much like the Disney one either.
Let's compare the two:




You can see Schleich messed the proportions up- the feet and arms are too big. The official Disney model has a thick, chunky body, which the Schleich doesn't have. Basically, it's out of proportion.

If you wanted a replica of the Disney monster, you should just get the official Disney toy. No need to waste money on Schleich's toy.

Sorry if I sound mean, I just guess it's the way I feel

Where is the official Disney toy?

Here is the big one (22" long):

And here is one of the (many) smaller versions:

I like the big one but it used and still very expensive.

Well, I suppose it depends on how much you want it and what your budget is.  At $28 +$11 shipping (in the US) I think its a very good deal.

It's not bad at all..I had 50.00 on mine and my big Aladar/ Iguanodon , though mine are mint, just out of packaging.

[Concavenator]

Just changed my mind about Papo's being the best Carno figure...that's Carnegie's IMO.

[Ultimatedinoking]

I'm with you TQ, I came into this thread expecting the Papo and Carnegie Carnotaurus, not that monstrosity. I wouldn't even use that thing as a paper weight. You couldn't pay me to display that thing! And I'm not sorry if I'm sounding harsh but it is just a toy and a really bad one at that. I don't think anyone on this forum would choose the Schleich over the Papo.

Well, I like Papo figures, but the stance on carnotaurus just looks like he's ate some spicy food and is standing over the toilet screaming in pain! In my opinion, he's the worst of the Papo dinosaurs. As for the other one, I think the colors were done to play up the "demon" look of carnotaurus, who would want to take inspiration from a Disney movie! (Yuk  )

[tyrantqueen]

Speaking of Carnotaurus, I like the Battat Carno but I always thought it looked like Darth Maul from the Star Wars franchise.

Really?It's one of Papo's best,IMO.

[Ultimatedinoking]

Ya, I think their Allosaurus is the best. But we are all entitled  to our own opinions. 

[Simon]

Its the other way around - Darth Maul 'borrowed' the Battat Carno paint scheme!

[Ridureyu]

I love the Papo figure, but its stance honestly bugs me.  I prefer the stance of the Schleich figure, though the Schleich one looks like a cartoon character.

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

Just came onto this thread...
Papo. I have nothing more to say.

[Libraraptor]

Papo of course. Still don´t like most of the Carnegie tripods, and the Schleich bigfoot is out of competition.

[DC]

Papo figure is attactively done and the best of their collectables and looks to be modeled on the Terra Nova TV show.  An excellent TV collectable.  I was expecting them to go for a Hasbro JP look.

The new Schliech, recall there was an old one,  is a Disney figure made for preschoolers.  This has become the preschool standard.  The small Bullyland was the same.

The Carnigie figure is the best model.  The lithe proportions and hatchet skull are the key.

I think an underrated figure is the medium FameMaster Carnotaurus it is built as runner not wrestler.   The Small Famemaster is a rare collectable.

Really when you think about it before Battat it was hardly known in the toy community.  Then you get the first Carnegie, Hasbro and Jasman figures.  I would have died for one as a kid.

[postsaurischian]

Definitely Carnegie! Despite the tripod pose (which isn't soo bad in this case), it is superior in scientific accuracy, sculptor's skills and paintjob .

Speaking of Carnotaurus, I like the Battat Carno but I always thought it looked like Darth Maul from the Star Wars franchise.

That's right, but it was vice versa - Darth Maul was inspired by Battat's Carnotaurus.

The Colorata Carnotaurus figure - though in a smaller scale - is also pretty darn good:

Yes, but I think Papo's and Carnegie's are better...
