Papo - New for 2015

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Sadly they went with the JPIII one...

It's a great JP3 film replica though..as are most of the larger dinos so far.

The little bit of art we've seen for the JW Pteranodon in the film doesn't appear to be a JP3 toothed version. Looks smaller and more accurate so maybe Papo will give it another go.

The toy by Hasbro on the other hand...another faux pas.

After seeing the Everything Dinosaur video comparing the Apatosaurus to the Brachiosaurus, I still wish Papo had made the Apatosaurus bigger.

That is true.

Same here. It indeed looks juvenile next to the massive Brachiosaurus. I hoped it would be at least as big as Schleich's large Apatosaurus from 2008, but it seems to scale well with other Papo figures (unlike the Brachiosaurus, which is too small).

Apatosaurus is 18-25 meters long and was 4.5 to 8 meters high. You can also see it as a not too large adult female. dragon53 and Kreativtek. I do too.

The Apatosaurus will indeed look small alongside the rest of my large Papos. Still, it'll be nice to finally have the Classic Big Four.

When papo make a big sauropod like brachio people want a smaller model, when papo make a smaller sauropod like apato people want a bigger model. Well...keep spirit papo

Same here. Looks like a juvenile. Maybe in the future we will see an adult probably based in JW? I think this 2015 would be a little just only a little bigger.
BTW do you think Papo will release a Giganotosaurus based in the mini one as a time period exclusive like tylosaurus, oviraptor or wolly rhino like in the past?

[suspsy]

People complained about the Brachiosaurus being too big? Shoot, I passed on it because I think it's too small!

[dragon53]

I'm happy with the size of Papo's Brachiosaurus.
I hope Papo continues to release ADULT dinosaurs to scale.

Sure for ED they are kind people who love to communicate with forum member. I hope someone from papo have an account here..

Wonder if a Pterosaur that was in an on-ground pose with open wingspan would look cool.  Not sure if this was a behavior that actually existed though TBH, and overall I agree that the "on ground with wings folded" is a neat way to display them.

A Pteranodon just like the one at the end of TLW from Papo would be perfect, despite inaccuracies.

However, as a Ludodactylus, the Papo model is an outstanding representation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludodactylus

"Ludus refers to the fact, long lamented by paleontologists, that many toy pterosaurs combined teeth with a Pteranodon-like head crest, while no such creature was known to exist — however Ludodactylus shows exactly this combination of features."

Here a video of teh new Papo figures

I think it is a juvenile  .

At Urzeitshop in Germany is the Tupuxuara already available!

[Concavenator]

GOSH  It looks like a different model!It's fantastic

[dragon53]

If someone from Everything Dinosaur is reading this, then my suggestions for future Papo releases are:

1. a BIG (adult) Apatosaurus
2. a BIG (adult) Argentinosaurus
3. a Giganotosaurus

[suspsy]

An adult Argentinosaurus would probably end up being in the $50-$70 price range. I'm not sure if Papo would be willing to take that risk. An adult Apatosaurus would be appreciated though.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Sauropods the size of the Carnegie pieces are "big" to me..not giant mind you like the Playskool Ultrasaurus or Dino Riders Brontosaurus..but big enough. It's just too rare we even get ones those size. Not sure how an Argentinosaurus would be done unless it's out of scale...then maybe 2' long? Could work for CollectA if they keep up their big line like the Guidraco.
