New video of my Brachiosaurus by Papo 12-31-15:

I made a video review on the Spino by papo;  Mine has some standing issues which gets extremely annoying (it falls over often,  and more often I can't even get it to stand).  Link of the video below.  What are your opinions on the Papo Spinosaurus?  I'm thinking maybe I should request to get a replacement model from papo,  one that stands properly.

A lot of them have standing issues unfortunately. Mine does too, it has to lean on one of its hands.

I find it an ugly toy regardless of how well it stands. I've never felt the least urge to buy it.

Mine is fine. I hate Papo and I must say it is an impressive figure.

I'm pretty sure he converted. Someone must have hacked his account.

I remember the Papo Spino being a huge favorite even amongst the anti-Papo (and Papo neutral) crowd...It probably has some sort of timeless appeal.

I agree.  Compared to the other Papos, the colors are so bland and dull.  And it represents my least favorite character in the Jurassic Park franchise.
I'm excited for REBOR's Acro!  Can't ya tell?

If I'm not mistaken, I remember that even Sbell was fond of the Papo Spino, although he wasn't really into Papos at that time.

I think if Papo fixes the snout, and re-release the Spino as a quadruped, it would be quite impressive.

Both of my Spino stand just fine.  You must have gotten a bad one.  I'd say exchange it if you still can.

Interesting video too!  I wonder what it would be like riding the back of one of those.  Or if the creature would even notice me along for the ride at all?

Yeah I think I got a bad one-  At a store the some time back I checked out some of their Papo Spino's and they all stood just fine :/

It's good that they updated the colour scheme to add a red "flush" on the face, and blue, pink and white stripes on the fin. He even has blue "socks"!
