Papo: New for 2018

[Shonisaurus]

Perhaps the criticisms that some forum members have about Safari iguanodon would dissipate if it were on a scale similar to Collecta iguanodon.

But I understand that it will be for something that the Prehistoric Times magazine chose it as the best figure of the year 2016. I do not think that iguanodon (for me gorgeus) chose him as the best figure on a whim and I say it from my complete ignorance without it removing that the iguanodon of Collecta (and that is not the topic that concerns us, since Papo's dinosaurs should be referred to in this thread) is impressive as is the iguanodon of Papo.

Not at all! The Iguanodon is not the first Papo figure I'm passing on.
I would never get their "Baryonyx" for example.

One day Papo will retire their Baryonyx and it'll become a sought after rarity!

Despite the chimeric features, it is a pretty good concept model. With a little bit of retooling, Papo could repurpose the Baryonyx into a Suchomimus or Ichthyovenator. Hopefully, it will not have accuracy issues the next time around.

..... and I won't care .

Despite the Baryonyx's flaws (such as the bizarre pose) I really like it.
The only reason I've never bought it is because it's rather expensive.

[Atokensis]

I would have bought the Baryonyx if it had a better paint scheme.

For instance,


I don't mind the pose, only things I just don't like about this figure is the size and paint.

I don't mind the pose, I just don't like about this is the size and the paint scheme on this.

Not sure why people don't like the paint scheme. I think it is one of the best features and blends rather well. I would still prefer the Bary in the top pic.

I remember when I first joined the forum people had issues with Papo because of their dependence on earth tones. Nowadays, it's quite the opposite...

[Archosauria]

I, personally, like the paint scheme.
I don't, however, like the glossy finish. I don't know why, it just looks...kinda cheap and unrealistic.

[hao_bao]

Yeah I'm not a fan of the paint scheme either.

[dragon53]

That Baryonyx repaint is fantastic.
Apply for a job at Papo.

[Shonisaurus]

It is not perhaps one of Papo's favorite theropod figures I like most by far his tyrannosaurus rex, acrocanthosaurus, cryolophosaurus, allosaurus or spinosaurus for example, but that does not mean that a precious diorama can not be made with the therizinosaurus Papo 2018. 

The baryonyx what kill him are his orange colors so bright, if it had been perhaps monocolor like the spinosaurus or tyrannosaurus (green and brown versions) the story about this figure would be very different from my point of view.

That does not mean he is a great figure and I think I repeat that he is going to make a good match with the therizinosaurus.

[Acro's comics]

Well, I'm currently using the Baryonyx model for the latest issue of my web comic, and I've found it to be a really fun subject.

I was hoping the Papo Iguanodon might have come out by now so I could incorporate the model into the story, but I'll just have to use the safari one.

[IrritatorRaji]

Not sure if these have been posted here yet













Can't say I'm liking that Iguanodon's jaw :/

[Mini Minmi]

I would have preferred a static smooth jaw but I can live with the sacrifice in the name of more posing options, as little as they may be.

I am curious to know why the seam is so much more visible on the iguanodon, though. I wonder if it's because of the color or just the jaw on this specific model. The shape of the jaw seems to be rather classic, maybe it's because of the neck?

[Minmiminime]

It's a funny experiment that hasn't really worked, but I am quite relieved because it does look a bit better than I was expecting, as do both models I hope they're released soon! Thank you for posting these images

[Faelrin]

Yeah I'm not really fond of how the articulation was done on that Iguanodon's jaw, even though I like the options it provides for displaying. It works so much better on theropods since they have longer jaws, generally not depicted with cheeks. It might have looked better if was the whole jaw, with the cheek as part of the upper or lower jaw, much like the Therizinosaurus in the pics above. Otherwise aside from the bulging (shrinkwrapped) pelvis and shoulders, this looks like a good stand in for the Disney Dinosaur Iguanodon.

The Therizinosaurus still looks a bit odd to me in some ways, but I think I'll still get it since this is probably one of the best renditions of it made yet. I'm more concerned about getting the Acrocanthosaurus though.

[Jose S.M.]

I don't like the jaws of Iguanodon at all. And I think Faelrin is right about how it would have worked better. On contrary I like the Therizinosaurus more now, but I think it's a figure that you have to find the right angle to display it well.

[DragonRider02]

Wow Theri is getting better and better with each Photo I can't wait when it Will be finally realesed!

[Shonisaurus]

The iguanodon Papo looks spectacular, for my part it is superior to the expectations I had about it.

In what refers to the therizinosaurus is super majestic, the best figures released on this dinosaur.

What perhaps I think was left over from both figures are their articulated jaws, they show a lot of sewing defects.

For the rest they are very detailed and very cool figures. 

I am impressed in a favorable way.

[Archosauria]

I am absolutely hyped for that Therizinosaurus!!!
