Papo New for 2017

[Roselaar]

I don't have any news, that link was simply redirecting to the T-Rex and Oviraptor set, but it's quite easy to guess that Papo will pull out more repaints in the near future. If any exclusive set comes out this fall I suggest not to rush the purchase, Papo can always release those supposed exclusives as part of the standard line just a couple of months later.

They haven't done that with the rainbow T-Rex though. I think most Papo lovers don't want to risk the next exclusive ending up as rare as the Brown Running Rex...

[Reptilia]

True, but you never know. Maybe they can be both reissued at some point. The brown running rex is the only one I'd be interested to buy though.

The most brilliant thing the could do is a pack with a raptor with colors similar to the original one and the brown running T-Rex.

I usually buy my papos on amazon, but i'm not paying 30 plus dollars for the Cryo when the acro is going for 28.  Has there been no US distribution?  Prices seem silly for the size that the ceratosaurus and the cryo are. Also starting to get worried about the dimorphodon. When will that be released?

Dejankins already has the theropods

I think the Dimorphodon and Smilodon will be available after the summer. Papo delivered a lot of new models for 2017, and I think it is a clever move to spread the releases all over the year.

Honestly for me it is better to release dinosaurs and prehistoric animals as soon as the Safari company does.

With regard to Papo I prefer his old method of previous years of delivery of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. One enjoyed before the news of Papo dinosaurs.

For those interested in fantasy and mythology here's a review of the Papo phoenix, both colours. Even if mythological it is still a bird, so a dinosaurs' relative.

Cave bear! It actually looks 3D printed on one side, but despite that how cool is it?

[Kaprosaurus]

To be honest,it looks cartoony,fur detailing isn't good,and that hump in the back is just......weird,dunno if it is the fur or part of the anatomy.

[Reptilia]

The hump should be part of the animal's anatomy.

[SpartanSquat]

What happened to Papo?! The bear is out of my plans. I think Acrocanthosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Cryolophosaurus and Dimorphodon are still in my plans

[Nanuqsaurus]

That doesn't look like Papo quality. It's lacking details and its face just looks silly.

[Jose S.M.]

The body is not bad but still it's not what's typically expected from papo in terms of detail. That face is the problem, it's even less detailed. I don't know if it's the photos or something but the face looks smooth, no texture can be appreciated.

[SpartanSquat]

Looking again, it reminds me to the first wave of figures from Carnegie

[Halichoeres]

Is this a different sculptor from the one who does the dinosaurs?

[SpartanSquat]

I dont think he is the same guy. He also made the Cats and Felines. I hope at least the Smilodon will be better

[terrorchicken]

oh so Im not the only one who is really disappointment with the face, the rest is fine but the face makes it looks like one of those "evil bears" from a kids animated film.

too bad b/c their woolly rhino was so much better. Judging by this and that new ridiculous looking smilodon I hope they aren't going for a  cartoony look for their prehistoric mammals thinking it will make them more appealing to kids. It would explain why they retired the rhino as it wouldn't fit in with the new style.

[Simon]

i don't know why all of these toy companies all keep making "cave bears" that all basically just look like - well, BEARS. 

They should be making the Short-Faced Bear, which was not only the largest bear ever, but completely different in appearance than today's bears. Isn't the main attaraction of prehistoric creatures supposed to be their weirdness of appearance?

Just my 2 cents worth ...

[yankeetrex]

I do a lot of 3d printing and those sure do look like print lines on the side of its face.  I wonder if they molded a resin 3d printed copy and just went with that.
