Everything Dinosaur has not got anything official from Papo as to release dates and availability.  We can't also post up official images of the new for 2017 models, but here is the information that we currently have:

New Papo update - we can't release images yet, but we can confirm that there will be a total of 9 new lines in the Papo prehistoric animal model range in 2017, details as follows:

Confirmation of New Models
55060 Polacanthus
55061 Ceratosaurus
55068 Crylophosaurus
55062 Acrocanthosaurus
55063 Dimorphodon
55066 Cave Bear
55067 Roaring Smilodon

Re-paints
Non-feathered Velociraptor (nick-named "blue tail")
Oviraptor (nick-named "blue neck")

Retirements
The green Papo Velociraptor introduced in 2016 (55058) is being retired.
We also suspect that the original Oviraptor (brown markings) 55018 is also going to be withdrawn, although nothing official as yet from Papo.  When we have official pictures and availability information we will post up more news on our blog and social media pages.

Hope this helps to clarify the situation.

Huh, the green raptor had a very short run then.  Do you know if "blue tail" is exactly the same rainbow raptor that was released with the T-rex last year, or is it different? (I ask because my rainbow raptor doesn't really have a blue tail!)

Sizes look good overall, curious about the Cryo still hopefully it's about the same as the Cerato.

Here is the list of new models due for release next year. Papo is moving towards providing more colourful prehistoric animal replicas, mirroring a trend seen elsewhere in the figures market.
Papo Product code = 55060 Polacanthus – this model measures a little over seventeen centimetres long and it stands around five centimetres high.
Papo Product code = 55061 Ceratosaurus –  this model is just over twenty-one centimetres long and it is over eight centimetres tall.
Papo Product code = 55068 Crylophosaurus – dimensions for this replica have yet to be confirmed.
Papo Product code = 55062 Acrocanthosaurus – the biggest of the prehistoric animal models for 2017, measuring twenty-eight centimetres long and being approximately fifteen and a half centimetres high.
Papo Product code = 55063 Dimorphodon (terrestrial pose) – dimensions yet to be confirmed.
Papo Product code = 55066 Cave Bear – length thirteen and a half centimetres and around eight and a half centimetres tall.
Papo Product code = 55067 Roaring Smilodon – a bigger model than a lot of people expected, measuring over fifteen centimetres long and being over nine centimetres tall (at the model's highest point).

Well, it's nice to know that the Ceratosaurus and the Polacanthus won't be insanely huge. Almost certainly gonna pass on the Acrocanthosaurus; at that size, it'll be too expensive for my budget.

The Acro is just slightly smaller that their exes and the 15 cm high is obviously because of the raised tail due to the posture. I don't see the Acro being more expensive that their Rexes. Unless they go like Baryonyx and raise the price of it.

Agreed. Excessively large dinosaurs drive up costs, take up more space and don't scale well with other models. Unless it's a model of a large saurapod, an apex predator or some other unusually large creature I prefer it collecta sized.

[Shonisaurus]

The smilodon above is disproportionate (I guess it will be the alpha male versus the other female model).

Anyway, I find it shocking that in less than a year they have discontinued Papo's green velociraptor. In this respect they are looking like Schleich in terms of production and discontinuation of figures.

What consoles me is the acrocanthosaurus (which is my favorite) and the ceratosaurus within which they fit are great.

As for cryolophosaurus and dimorphodon whose measurements have not been specified I suppose they will be of a rather small size.

Anyway it amazes me that bear of the caves or ursus spelaeus is smaller than the smilodon.

I'm also surprised that 'Blue-Tip' is replacing (or being added to) the Rainbow Raptor as they are very similar, if not identical (perhaps).

[Jose S.M.]

With those measurements I think I'm going to get the Ceratosaurus, it's big but not too big compared with what I have now.

[tanystropheus]

It seems like a reasonable size for the Cerato.
I wonder if anyone is planning on repainting the Acro with the REBOR color scheme...

[Roselaar]

Good to know the blue Oviraptor will soon be a regular find.

Green Raptor already being retired? Weird. But it won't be missed.

[suspsy]

The smilodon above is disproportionate (I guess it will be the alpha male versus the other female model).

The original Smilodon is also a male.

Is the blue-tailed raptor not identical to the rainbow one?

[CityRaptor]

Exactly. Here in Europe our Prehistoric Mammals do not lack attributes!

So the green Raptor is being retired already? Geez, that means that it will be hard to get in the future for reasonbale prices.

[tanystropheus]

update:

I just decided to check my Rainbow Raptor. It is still in the box along with the Standing Rainbox Rex.

It seems that my Rainbow Raptor does have a Blue-Tail. I've never noticed it before, since it was still in the box. But, I've decided to take a closer look.

I guess there is no difference between the Rainbow Raptor and the Blue-Tail 

I have the Retired Green Raptor as well. It is a suitable substitute for the Brown Raptor that I never got a chance to buy.

Acrocanthosaurus WAS an apex predator.

[CityRaptor]

The biggest carnivore in North America during the Aptian & Albian, much larger than the others around, considered one of the largest Theropods ( You know, those guys who are 12 m or more long ), only slightly smaller than T.rex ( given that the media always compares others to this one ).
Sounds very Apex-y to me.

guys no need to berate someone for a lack of knowledge or typing mistake .

Everyone pretends to be too cool and scientific for Papo dinosaurs then each year they erupt into boyish excitement when they're revealed. You only need to count the pages of this thread in comparison to the other company lines.
