Recent Acquisitions (Archive, March 2012 - July 2018)

The new Papo dinos have arrived. Sorry about the crappy image quality... 

[Invicta Hunter]

The Papo Ceratosaurus & Acrocanthosaurus look so much better in a horizontal position.
I can't stand seeing them in their normal position leant forward.
it's just a cheap balancing trick by Papo.

[Jose S.M.]

Nice Papo's! Can't wait to get some of those, Acro still haven't convinced me though

[Shonisaurus]

Thanks Dyscrasia for your beautiful photos they look great both the acrocanthosaurus and the great ceratosaurus. I have seen on the other hand surfing the internet comparative photos of the acrocanthosaurus Papo and it is as big as the tyrannosaurus of its same brand. Which is appreciated. Unfortunately the distributor of my nation still does not receive them, so I am waiting. For those who do not have it is a gift for the eyes sincerely speaking.

I'd rather they be horizontal myself. I understand people who are frustrated by figures that won't stand up, but honestly I don't mind leaning a well-proportioned and plausibly posed theropod against a potential prey item for support.

That's what bases are for. But I don't see papo implementing them anytime soon. Papo favors playabilty more.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

just leave them on the clear stands they come with?

[Neosodon]

You could but I think it would look rather silly.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

alas you can never have your cake and eat it too...

i've left several collectas on their clear stands,  the more bendy ones and some  marine reptiles as well

I keep some of my Papo's on their clear "bases". Mainly just to keep them from warping during the summer.

[Hynerpeton]

A yowie ammonite and a prehistoric mammal.

My King's Day 2017 haul. A very diverse bunch, though none of them in pristine conditions of course. Some of the less obvious figuren in this lot (the weird big Trike, the rubber green Saltasaurus) need identification.

That's a good haul you got there.
It's nice to see you got two of the very rare Dinowaurs figures.

[Jose S.M.]

After a long wait and some mail related problems, look whats finally in my hands! I'm very happy to have it 


Thanks to brettnj and his source for getting it, I will post some more photos in my collection thread.

[Shonisaurus]

By the way does anyone know what's wrong with Brett? I sent him several emails and he did not answer them unfortunately. I am on the waiting list of Favorite saurolophus among other people and I have sent several messages and no answer I repeat.

I have always been cordial and attentive to him and respectful (yes very repetitive and obsessed with acquisitions but always correct as in the forum that I recognize my mistakes) but that is not an impediment for me to answer my emails. I have ordered by email other than that figure another four of Favorite discontinued and unfortunately has not answered me. To my misfortune I do not even receive messages regarding their offers via email.

I do not know what happened.

On the other hand Jose congratulated you are a lucky person to have that work of art that is the saurolophus. I am waiting for it but I do not receive any messages.

I'll give Brett a bump for you. I just ordered a figure a few days ago, no problems there in communication and I guess there's probably some technical issue as I know him as a very reliable person.

PS: Did you check your spam folder.... maybe something messed up there?

[brettnj]

Posting this here instead of privately in case anyone else has an issue...

Hey Manuel/Shonisaurus...

I'm not sure what's happening but I sent you a test e-mail this morning.

Please let me know if you received it.

Thanks.
Brett

The new Papo dinos have arrived. Sorry about the crappy image quality... 

I must agree with everyone, both the Acro and Ceratosaurus do both look great in a more horizontal pose. I don't mind the Acro as I have diorama plans for it and I think the pose will work well, but I wouldn't complain if it were more horizontal

[Zhuchengotyrant]

My Favorite Zhuchengtyrannus and Sinoceratops finally came! They're the best!

[empire3569]

Soon to be in my hands from the brilliant Martin Garratt: the Re-Papo Acrocanthosaurus
