Papo

[Viking Spawn]

Look what showed up in my neck of the woods!



Have to say, I'm sorely, sorely tempted. That colour scheme rocks!

Sold separately?  So much for being a box set like the one I got.

Not sure which Papo thread has them, but forum user Viking Spawn has an excellent album filled with pictures of the two, here's a link to his thread

Thanks again, Rain! I really like these! So refreshing to see some colors like these on Papo figures. I definitely want to add these to my collection! I actually hope I can find the boxed set. Besides probably saving a little money vs. buying them separately, the box will help protect them in stores compared to having them scattered on shelves or god forbid in bins!

And thank you, Viking Spawn for those really amazing pics!

Woah! Those are threatening!

[Viking Spawn]

Thank you everyone.

Meh, I think its a little too monochrome for a T. rex. But that's just my opinion.

Don't you mean polychrome? I count at least 4 colours which is three more than monochrome.

Definitely more chroma than all the previous Papo rexes...

Yes, the Velociraptor was also being sold separately.

Will it replace the brown T.rex? AFAIK this is a temporary limited edition, isn't?

Correct. So it's not likely to replace the current brown Rex.

Of course. They are 8 adult JP Style Rexes, after all. And they are looking in the same direction, so something got their attention...

Could be worse, could be 9.

I hope these hit in the US... at least on Amazon. I'd really like to get one.

I was at Hobby lobby, and they stocked the newly Painted Spinosaurus. one thing i noticed is that there made out of a Firmer plastic.   I had three of these figures in my life, and on all of them, the arms were pliable, but on both of there new ones they were Stiff as if bending it would break them.

Has anyone else noticed this with there Newer Spinosaurus?

i just got one of those, its the first one i've ever had but the arms do feel stiff on mine like they would break if i tried moving them. the only thing i have thats around the same size to compare it to is a green running t rex and the t rex feels a lot more pliable especially the tail, i can easily move the t rex tail but the spinosaur tail is very hard and i can't move it

The worst part is that they can actually break. Over the course of last few months I've seen at least three damaged Spinosaurus figures, two of them had broken hands and one had its head torn off.

Sounds like the revenge of Tyrannosaurus rex!

[CityRaptor]

Reminds me the only negative review of the Papo T.rex on Amazon, where one of the complaints about it having rubbery arms, while the "superior Schleich" one doesn't. Which would explain why one sees so many Schleich ones with missing arms...

No, I mean that it is rather "monochromatic" for a T. rex, in comparison to other rex figures. Rather dull, in fact.
