Papo

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Wouldn't mind a 1:40 Edmontosaurus myself...

[tanystropheus]

And the recent talk of ornithopods here on the forum got me thinking that Papo need to do some more. An Iguanodon from them would be nice. It's surprising that they have not done one already considering it's fairly popular as a dinosaur.

This! A new Parasaurolophus. I dont mind of colours are absed in JP. But I want a new one. 2 ornithopods that I really like to see based in WWD movie are Edmontosaurus and Parksosaurus.

I would actually prefer a Saurolophus over a Parasaurolophus from Papo.

As long as they don't base it on the one in BBC's Chased By Dinosaurs - Their only design I didn't like. They just stuck a spike on their Anatotitan form WWD. Looked odd. But yes, a Papo Saurolophus would be fantastic.
Also, apparently there are Edmontosaurus in Jurassic World. We might get one in 2016.

The only reason I would be against a Saurolophus is that a REALLY nice one was already produced in Japan.

one that I probably won't be able to get any time soon

I just picked up the Sideshow Mosasaur (probably my first and last Sideshow...I'm broke). Amazing model. Elegant and actually looks pretty impressive next to..well, pretty much anything ...because of its vertical disposition. Now, I am looking at the Papo Mosasaur. Papo fail

Yeah thats my favs too, the gesture is amazing. Also i hope papo remake their tylosaurus...

Yeah, easily one of the very best hadrosaurs, but not likely available in the foreseeable future. Hopefully Favorite's gonna keep doing limited editions like Conchavenator and Tamba Sauropod. An updated Tsinatosaurus, maybe? From Papo, something more generic is more likely.

After Apatosaurus, Diplodocus and Quetzalcoatlus...Papo is more or less done with generics.

I suppose, but I mean we'd get an Edmontosaurus over say, a Velefrons. They'll still stick to well established genera and not surprise us with a new species like Collecta does. I'm not picking at them, just saying they're playing it safe. Or something.

Personally I think that once they've run out of popular genera, they'll probably stop making new figures altogether. No toy line lasts forever, anyway.

Maybe they will go back to species they've done in the past and release new sculpts, but I don't see them making obscure species (for example something like Balaur bondoc or Eustreptospondylus). It's just not their style.

Luckily there are still lots of popular species to choose from.

You mean this?

We might have some news tomorrow, expecting Papo to give us the go ahead...

[kreativtek]

Finally!
As if that is not enough, Baptiste Coudert, whom I know from Papo, Schleich, Safari Ltd., CollectA, Mojo a Bullyland animals collecting group on Facebook, said that he went to a toy store in Paris and was told that Papo is cooking up an Apatosaurus figure for 2015 (among other new dinosaurs).

[Centrosaur86]

Yes Tyrantqueen! And an Apatosaurus for 2015? Great! I hope on a picture tomorrow. 

[CityRaptor]

Guess they won't add Diplodocus in 2015 then. Wonder how the Apato will look.

[tanystropheus]

Papo generally just trickles information on their models in Nov, Dec or January (mostly, December)...the fact that this model is given extra attention in the form of "Top Secret" gives the impression that what they are about to reveal is truly majestic...perhaps, the crown jewel of the entire Papo line.

Apatosaurus will probably be given a deluxe treatment (similar to Tyco or Sideshow).

I actually wouldn't be surprised if there ended up being some similarities to the Sideshow one. If that's the case it'll make a nice companion piece.

Specially if they used another sideshow models for other toys like carnotaurus, dilophosaurus or styracosaurus. And I think it will sell like fresh bakery if the next year apatosaurus will be in Jurassic World. Many kids will buy it.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

As long as they base it on the Sideshow piece it will be a must buy I think. That one is coveted by so many already.
