Requests for Papo 2016: Step 3 Ceratosaurus

[anchry6]

Now, we are at the final stages.
In this topic you can write as you would like to be done the Papo Ceratosaurus.
You can use: scientific descriptions, drawings, sculptures, pictures taken on the internet (legal please) and so on. You can also criticize and improve a choice with an other...
However, the Papo will decide freely how use this material that we will provide at them.
I'm also looking for a paleontologist (possibly) or more paleontologists than write two or three pages maximum (with pictures) to give some advice on how to make a precise Ceratosaurus and on mistakes to avoid.
Thank you all for your interest in this project...
I hope it will be successful!
GOOD DISCUSSION.

Articulated jaw, naturally. And a non-tripod stance. And not the colours from JP3. Not that there was anything bad about it, just that I'd rather see a new scheme.

As with the Giga, I think the Ceratosaurus should be nice and spiky too, so he'll pair well with big Al.

I'm not sure who this artist is, but I like this pic...

...and the colors are very Papo friendly too.

*EDIT*
I think I found the artist. Raul Lunia, and also goes by Dinoraul. Beautiful artwork! Here's another image of him...

Make sure that the figure can stand properly forever after....My green running trex cant stand properly anymore after 1 week i open it from the pack

Is there any point for Papo to make a Ceratosaurus now that we know Rebor is making one?

[CityRaptor]

You mean aside from the fact that REBOR's will cost like twice the price of the one Papo would make and will be less widely available?

[Tallin]

Personally I'd much rather have a papo one! It will be half the price, just as detailed and I personally don't like bases on my dinos as it spoils the possibility for home-made dioramas...

Scale 1:40

Papo should be sure to add the dorsal 'bumps' on the animal as well as the long teeth characteristic of ceratosaurus:


IT would also look nice in a running pose, although that's already been done with their allosaurus and dilophosaurus.

Are Papos are Rebors pretty much the same scale? Is the Rebor T-rex similar in size to the Papo counterpart?

yes, the rexes from the two brands are almost the same size.

Actually I'd say no. When I saw those pictures I was expecting the Rebor to be smaller than it was. It's not huge or anything but it is deffinately bigger than the Papo...noticeably so IMO. 

As I said in the Papo 2015 thread, the one thing that Rebor does better than any of the other companies including Papo and Sideshow, is that what they advertise is what you get.  None of the beautiful advertising pictures and then some sloppy or simplistic production piece. With Rebor what you see is what you get. Papo seems to be hit or miss with their paint apps. Disappointingly so in the Allosaurus's case for me. While, Rebor, so far hasn't had one complaint, regarding the paint work and presentation of their pieces, at least as far as I'm aware. I only bring this up as some are wondering which one to go with Papo or Rebor. I'd guess that the Rebor will be a little bit bigger and probably better better paint work. Papo's will be cheaper an little smaller and the paint work will be descent, but not at the Rebor quality.

Now accuracy, that is a completely other discussion that has many threads!

Why do we have to continue with the Rebor/Papo comparison? It's getting a bit repetitive. This is supposed to be a request thread for Papo. These kind of comments belong in the Rebor thread

I agree, I only responded to others comments, and before I get accused of being a Rebor fanboy, I just want to clarify I'm not. Just stating their paint work is very good.

Well, it all started with someone asking why Papo should make a Ceratosaurus when REBOR already made one...by that logic no company needs to make a new Ceratosaurus since Safari already made one...

Lol. Yup! . There is plenty of room for as many different companies as there can be. Competition is a good thing.

As long as it has plenty of pointy bits I'd be happy.

[Tallin]

I agree it seems poor logic...plus I like to have several versions of one dino as they display well together! I imagine a Rebor and Papo Ceratosaurus would look great together! Though I still think there are many important differences between these two companies despite the few similarities. I for one don't like to spend a large amount of money on one figure! (unless it was a kit!)

Nice! Although paint-wise, I wouldn't want an all black figure. Looks more like a silhouette and hides the details more. But that profile is really nice!
