Papo - New for 2015

[sauroid]

if you mean a side by side of both Apatos in one pic, i dont think anyone has the Papo Apato yet.

Can anyone make a comparison between the Wild Safari Apatosaurus (13.7 inches long) and the Papo Apatosaurus?

Maybe ED can after it's released as they will probably have it first.

To clarify, I was hoping someone who has the Wild Safari Apatosaurus could make a comparison of the Papo Apatosaurus by comparing the Wild Safari version to the Papo version's photo.
I thought it would an interesting comparison in terms of accuracy, detail, etc. since they are approximately the same size.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Ah, maybe someone could attempt it. I don't have the software myself.

Here's some news, guys.
According to Modellpferdeversand, Apatosaurus and Tupuxuara will be priced at €23.50 and €8.50 respectively, whereas the new Mini Tube will cost as much as €14.

I can easily do a side by side comparison pic of the WS and Papo in photoshop, but I wouldn't know exactly how to scale them to each other. (I'm good at the art stuff, but terrible at math. LOL!)

The Apatosaurus IS not a juvenile:

Using Blade's estimate of the Papo Apatosaurus at 14.5 inches and Dragon53's measurement of the Safari Apatosaurus at 13.7 inches long (with the tail curved), it would seem they compare something like this: (bearing in mind that the Safari model is rotated slightly toward the camera in this photo)

If you live in London, try to sneak into this year's Toy Fair at Kensington Olympia. Papo set up their booth there and I bet they have at least one of their new dinosaur figures.

Whatever the size it is still a gorgeous figure.

That looks pretty darn close if not exact. I'm little perplexed by how short the Papo's legs seem to be..maybe it's due to it's walking position?  Or maybe the photo has been taken from a slightly raised position, looking down?

Yeah I noticed that too. Hopefully we'll have some other photos soon. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed by the rather small size. I was prepared to go all out and have this one customized to be like a little companion piece to the Sideshow statue (down to the color scheme), though now I'm not thinking it's worth bothering spending the money customizing a sauropod figure if it's not that big. Saves me some money at least.

It looks quite nice in real life. The leg length seems to be explained by the fact that they aren't at as straight a angle as legs usually are in sauropod illustrations.

I hope this doesn't mean the Tupuxuara has trouble standing up.

If you were thinking it would be a nice juvenile to go with it, it should still work out.

Thanks!

Wow, that Apato looks really BIG awesome sitting next to that Tupax 

Tupax, go home, you're drunk!

I think they both look good in that real life pic as much as I can make out being a small pic.

I think most of these pics are taken more from above, which would shorten the appearance of his legs. Also, I think his belly hangs kind of low too.

Here's a full figure (haha, full figure) pic of the partial larger pic from the promo...


It's a little more straight on, but still I think a bit taken at a higher angle. There seems to be an extra area of loose skin maybe hanging lower under the middle of his belly. Maybe he is a juvenile and he still has yet to fully grow into his skin. Hehe!
