Papo

[stargatedalek]

Since when was a leak top secret
By its very definition it should be the opposite I would think.

Something about it just doesn't feel very Papo, or very Baryonyx for that matter (to me it looks like a Suchomimus).

[Dilopho]

Possible Baryonyx leak?

]
No, this is clipart! Just search baryonyx or suchomimus on google images!

[DinoLord]

That reminds me of the Suchomimus model that was in the Dorling Kindersley books I read as a kid. I doubt it's a leak.

[Dilopho]

Even if it was fake, it would be a cool model to take inspiration from for Papo. The cheap clipart is actually pretty accurate for what it is.

That image comes from a video posted on Dan's Dinosaurs YouTube channel. It is not a picture of an actual figure, more like video thumbnail. Official photos of new Papo dinosaurs should be posted any day now. I can't wait!

"sigh"  did we all forget about Dan's dinosaur model line?  It includes that very Suchomimus, all one need do is search his site : http://stores.dansdinosaurs.com/suchomimus-resin-kit-by-dans-dinosaurs/

Exactly. By the way, have you guys seen this picture of Papo's feathered Oviraptor? I found on the same forum where the interview with Papo sculptor was originally posted. Sorry if it's old, it looks very exciting to me.

I think that is a custom from a member of this forum, or maybe one of the old forum

[stargatedalek]

If only it were real, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Yes it is a custom by Forum Member Himmapaan (posted in the old forum). Picture links seems to be broken.

So "leaked" fake info again.

Back in the 90s they used actual models. This seems to be a model, too.

Ugh, another naked-head Theropod. People, if your going to feather your Theropods, go all out with it. Not every Theropod needs to look like a vulture. I know this is a custom, and a rather good one at that, excluding the head. But still.

Interestingly, I have just been thinking about 'going all out' with custom feathering a Papo running rex. Both because I think it could look great, and because I'd like to cover up it's really gaunt anatomy while preserving it's posture.

[tyrantqueen]

Its head still resembles something that doesn't exist in real life though.

That could be said of every current reconstruction of any dinosaur.

I fail to see how it's a "naked-head theropod". It has feathers all the way up to just behind its eye. The crest and beak are featherless because, quite frankly, they're supposed to be. It actually has more feathering than its bony-crested counterpart of today. Cassowary feathers(for the most part) end at the base of the neck and don't get anywhere near the face.

The blue one with yellow jaws?

[Shonisaurus]

I do not like a baryonyx is rather a suchomimus, no scales on its back.


The baryonyx not usually have a slight crest on the back. It is more like recreations of suchomimus.

That sounds like it would be cool, the Running rex is a good figure on its own (although sadly I do not own it), but it suffers from "shrink wrap-itis", especially on the arms and head.

[Plasticbeast95]

Why? Animals can and do suffer from teeth malalignments, whether through injury or congenital defects. I have an incisor that is slightly further back than the rest I don't think its that far out there to think that the Running Rex had dental issues through out its life.
