Huh it's hilarious. Also that therizinosaurus is pretty good.
What I love about Allosaurus is that it lived an extremely violent life that was rife with broken bones, cuts, scrapes, infections, sprains, and yet it just kept on truckin.

I would like to see a photo of the Acrocanthosaurus Repaint that's in the background of the two photos.

You can see pictures on the first page of this thread.

Hmm that Theri isn't too bad, I might even get it to replace the rather ridiculous Schleich one I have now. And that Acrocanthosaurus repaint is amazing! :)

FENESTRA:

I've already seen the Acrocanthosaurus Repaint photo on the first page---I was hoping to see what the non-pr photos of the Repaint would look like which might give a more realistic look at it since pr photos are sometimes not that accurate.

Sincerely every day I like Papo's therizinosaurus more, I think it will be just as great as his quetzalcoatlus whose photos, apart from the promotional ones, we still do not have at hand but I guess it will be just as great. On the other hand the therizinosaurus must be very voluminous and even big thing that I applaud and it is worthy of praise. He is an outstanding figure.  8)

In relation to the acrocanthosaurus sincerely wins the figure with the repainted.  :)

To finish the amargasaurus I have to confirm that it is the loosest figure made by Papo this year. I honestly do not like how it is made although the photo of the London toy fair looks better than in your promotional photos and I simply buy it to complete the Papo collection.

Huh, I like the therizinosaurus in that picture much better than in the promo pictures.  It looks kind of like some amiable species of hell-dragon (I mean that in a good way!) I could be tempted, but the only definite must-gets for me this year are Iguanodon and the compy.

Not for nothing has the Papo Amarga been dubbed the Unicorn Amarga. It's staggeringly and incongruously bad.

The Therizinosaurus is just amazing! It's majestic, imposing, uber-detailed. A cross between a dinosaur and a mythical beast. My only nitpick is the feathering on the arms, would have preferred either bare limbs or a fuzzy kind of coat. But this doesn't detract anything from my excitement anyway. Also the size is impressive, considering that it towers on the Acrocanthosaurus at its side.

The Acrocanthosaurus itself is on the same level of coolness, can't wait to see more pictures to properly admire the new look, but it definitely feels like it was meant to be coloured like this instead of that infamous rainbow pattern. I guess I will get rid of the original very soon.

Glad that these two are the first batch of releases, I'll get my hands on them as soon as they become available!

I'm glad the Therizinosaurus is so big... really makes it stand out. Its a strangely shaped critter, for sure, but I think the stock photos perhaps exaggerated its gut proportions. Def my favorite of all the new stuff for Papo this year.

I'm glad the Theri actually looks really good. I thought by the stock photo we were going to get something with a pot belly and a tiny head. Good thing the stock photo is just dodgy.

PhilSauria

I was in two minds in regard to the Theriz on seeing that initial image but this new photo has me putting this one on the 'to buy' list. Really makes a lot of the efforts from other brands look a tad unrealistic, which is saying something for an animal like this.

I still quite like the Acrocanthosaurus repaint, and the Therizinosaurus, although the Therizinosaurus looks to have better proportions then before. I'm still wondering how the Iguanodon is going to turn out, aside from the Compsognathus and Quetzalcoatlus.

How do you know that the therizinosaurus and acrocanthosaurus are going to be next to the amargasaurus (although you do not quote it) the first figures commercialized by Papo? If that's true for me it's great.

Both the acrocanthosaurus and the therizinosaurus are my favorite figures this year next to the quetzalcoatlus.

I would be glad if those figures were among the first commercialized.

Last year the models we've seen at the London Toy Fair were the first to be released (Polacanthus, Ceratosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, and a bit later Cryolophosaurus), while those that were missing (cave bear, Smilodon and Dimorphodon) were issued later in the year. I assume that the three we see here will be released for first, while the missing ones (Compsognathus, Iguanodon and Quetzalcoatlus) will come after the summer. The juvenile Spinosaurus is still presented as part of the boxset with the Ceratosaurus, so I guess its standalone release will also be in the second part of 2018. Moreover, I seem to remember Everything Dinosaur saying that the Acrocanthosaurus and Therizinosaurus were set for a first quarter release.

The repaint looks good, however I still can't stand that pose.

Yeah, that unicorn gets around quite some.

Anyone know if Papo has a presence at the NYC Toy Fair?

I googled it for you. Does this help at all?
