Our requests for Papo 2016-First round

For the moment, everything is pure speculation.

It's hard to say whether Papo's toys are any more scientifically accurate than Schleich's. I know some of their recent toys have shown improvement, but I have to ask myself whether it's their own research, or (more likely) because of their "piggybacking" off of the very accurate Dinosauria line.

Papo gave us a lizard-faced, monsterized Archaeopteryx, for heaven's sake. I'm not sure they can be trusted to make more feathered dinosaurs.
Which is why I think they should just go back to what they're good at and give us a new repaint of their "Velociraptor" based on the ones in Jurassic World.

Yes..if they made a therizinosaurus at all, it would probably be nekkid >:D

Oh,I think their Archaeopteryx is an incredible figure!

It is cool, but it is by no means an accurate interpretation of the series.

I don't see whats wrong with the archeopteryx

Yutyrannus

Well, it's inaccurate like all Papo dinosaurs. I wasn't saying there is anything wrong with it, in fact I really like the figure.

Also, why didn't you change the title to say 2016 and not 2015 yet?

Which is the best Archaeopteryx to get? Does anyone know how the Kaiyodo Dinotales Archie fares in terms of accuracy? I like that one quite a bit so I'm considering getting it. The Papo is okay but I don't care for the face.

Patrx

Kaiyodo's is pretty solid, accuracy-wise. It could be said that the "sickle-claws" on the feet are too subtle, but at that scale it's pretty tough to tell one way or the other. Aside from that, I think its neck could use more fluff, though that's not really an accuracy problem.

Because I don't know how to do that.

Just change the title on the first post.

Hi. These are my choices.

Therizinosaurus naked (WWD inspired but other coloration)
Estemmenosuchus (already JP toy)
Shunosaurus (cool club tail)
Eobasileus (love mammals)
Diabloceratops (will be awesome to get a red / orange diablo from Papo. I don't like Collecta nor Safari)
Desmatosuchus (love to see one to replace the Schleichs)
Sobreviviendo a la extinción!!!

Some quick notes.  C:-)
Don't make lists too long.Papo usually releases 3 figures a year.So please:your list can't have more than 5 animals.
Every round is a week.As I told before,this first round closes next Wednesday.
The rounds are:
As you know,in this first round you may just tell the prehistoric animals you'd like them to make.

After a week,a second round will open and it's a poll-topic,a votation between the most popular 5 ones,one poll for carnivores and another for herbivores.

After another week,the winners are announced.Then I'll create a topic for suggestions on how the two prehistoric animals would look better,as well as some support for the accuracy,maybe possible inspirations,etc.


The more people vote the better.I think all of us have the Papo Carnotaurus thanks to anchry6.It'd be a real honor if the project is succesful!  :D
Thanks.

Yutyrannus

Alright, how about a Titanis and a Majungasaurus.

"The world's still the same. There's just less in it."

Concavenator

A Majungasaurus from Papo would be awesome...not to mention that it's perhaps too exotic for them.
It's fine though.A Titanis would be great as well.
