Papo New for 2017

[Nanuqsaurus]

I hope the Acrocanthosaurus isn't super huge (and therefore super expensive) like the Baryonyx.

I still hope it's a pretty big figure though, I like it when the figures have some weight to them.

unless it's carnotaurus sized i'd bet it will be about the same as the Bary.

Something between their T.rex and Allosaurus would be perfect.

[DinoLord]

There are already enough small Acrocanthosaurus (Safari, Terra) on the market. Bring on the big boys!

[Appalachiosaurus]

I hope that the new Iguanodon and Acro are not as poorly sculpted as the Polacanthus. I have high hopes since those two I believe that are done by their main sculptor since he confirmed them himself some time ago in an interview. He said nothing about the Polacanthus so I assume that it is not his work...and it shows!
I would love to see a nasutoceratops or diabloceratops or any other ceratopsian that is not a triceratops,made by Papo. It has been a while since their last one.

All we have is a single blurry photo, at least wait for an official promotional picture to be released before you start shouting "the end is near".

Oof, that's a sad thought.  I'd much rather the Acro be comparable to the running rex rather than the tiny Carno.

[Saurox]

Until we get more images we can only speculate about the size. Oh boy to a wish Papo were swifter with releases. 

[suspsy]

Alright, Safari and CollectA have revealed their (fabulous) wares for 2017. It's your turn now, Papo. Get to it!

[Shonisaurus]

Well we will have to wait until at least the end of 2017. It is the most reactive company to show its news in advance. True and true that they are first with Safari whose figures are usually available in the online market, which is appreciated. Collecta could do that, it takes a lot to market all his figures.

In fact I am waiting in a Shop face to face the second part of the novelties of Collecta. I usually reveal the news until the same dates of Christmas, that is on December 25, so we will have to wait a lot still. We should not have any illusions that they advance the ads before.

[suspsy]

December 25? No, historically that hasn't been the case. Papo has been revealing their upcoming toys around mid-December for the last two years.

[Shonisaurus]

Strict in terms of previous years but I remember that the pachyrhinosaurus took until the end of the year if I remember correctly.

[suspsy]

And that was a long, long time ago now. Things have changed.

[Killekor]

Why everybody say that the giganotosaurus will be not released this year?

They don't release only one figure every year.

Predasaurskillekor

Because we already have Acrocanthosaurus, Iguanodon, and now Polacanthus confirmed, and Papo only releases 3 new sculpts a year.

I have looked at this year catalog, and I've seen that there are 4 new dinosaurs this year: green velociraptor, feathered velociraptor, Baryonyx and the rainbow running T-Rex.

Because it was confirmed in an interview awhile back that Papo's 2017 assortment will not include the Giganotosaurus.

Thanks, where is the link for the interview?

Thanks

Only three are new sculpts, the Baryonyx, Kaprosuchus, and feathered Velociraptor. Repaints don't count as new sculpts.

Yeah, it's pretty likely we'll see at least one repaint for 2017, but it really doesn't count as a new toy.

I don't recall where the link is now. Maybe check out the Papo 2016 thread or the general one.

[Saurox]

The Polacanthus was quite a surprise, I wonder if Papo have something else unexpected up their sleeve.

[Shonisaurus]

The Polacanthus was quite a surprise, I wonder if Papo have something else unexpected up their sleeve.

But by the way although with the blurred image they are all conjectures the Polacanthus foxii of Papo is not seen with the same quality as theropods like tyrannosurus rex, velociraptor feathered or kaprosuchus seems done by another sculptor.

Let us hope that Papo does not abandon in its realization the detailed figures to which we were accustomed, but rather inaccurate paleontologically and scientifically.

[Saurox]

I wonder what colours the iguanadon and acro will be?
I'm hoping they continue to adapt natural looking paint schemes, maybe a sandy reptilian look for the acro and a vibrant blue and a tan underbelly.
