Papo: New for 2018

[mgaguilar]

Really excited for this year. Absolutely cannot wait for that Therizinosaurus. And the potential size of that Quetzalcoatlus has me really excited.
I'd love to create a diorama depicting a couple of them getting at a sauropod hatchling nest, to which the original artist of the piece I would base this off of escapes me.

[Shonisaurus]

I count the days to receive soon the new dinosaurs and prehistoric animals of Papo. Above all I am interested in the therizinosaurus, quetzalcoatlus and the acrocanthosaurus repainted. 

[Reptilia]

Same for me Shonisaurus, those three have priority, the others will probably only enter my wishlist for now.

Was the Rainbow/ Blue Raptor they released last year retired? I don't see it in the catalogue.

[Halichoeres]

Yeah, the rainbow raptor is retired.

[Reptilia]

At the end of first post here there's a link to the full list of retirements for 2018, among which the rainbow raptor (thankfully).

[Atokensis]

I'm really excited for the new Acrocanthosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus and Compsognathus. The Iguanodon is a maybe.

Still no Giganotosaurus (or Carcharodontosaurus) though, hopefully next year.

[Ceratosaurus]

Everything Dinosaur shared some photos on Facebook. Gives you a size comparison for some of the new figures. I believe it's also our first look at the Iguanodon. https://www.facebook.com/EverythingDinosaur/posts/1775275079173032

The quetzalcoatlus seems to me an immense figure worthy of the pterosaur that it represents (one of the largest of its kind). On the other hand the iguanodon looks much better in these photos than in the promotional image. It's going to be another of my priorities. 

On the other hand acrocanthosaurus with its new paint is an improvement substance with respect to its predecessor acrocanthosaurus arcoiris of so little commercial life.   


As regards amargasaurus, frankly, it is not the amargasaurus that excites me and what Papo as we see in the vast majority of his figures has the potential to have made a spectacular amargasaurus within the canons of artistic license that each company has and in this case Papo.

Thanks Gartner13 and Arne for your links both on facebook and urzeitshop.de 

Papo as every year leaves unfortunately his best figures for the end for commercialization.

That Quetzalcoatlus is big! Also there's a bit of the tail of Therizinosaurus and just by that I can tell is huge. I still don't like the head of the Iguanodon, I don't think the articulation suits it well, but we'll see with more pictures and angles.

[Atokensis]

They are so beautiful!!!!!

[Minmiminime]

To me, the jaw of the Iguanodon looks like a beautiful piece of sculptural engineering, designed to fit a compromise that should never have existed  I still want it very much, though..!

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Wow..the Quetz is pretty massive..I love it!

[terrorchicken]

quetz and acro are really nice, the iguano is a disproportionate mess though, too bad.

[Minmiminime]

It looks like most of this year's offerings are going to be on the larger side. Oh, my poor bursting cabinet...

[Fenestra]

I'm very impressed with the Quetzalcoatlus pose, presence and posture.
I hope price won't slap me in the face. 

[Faelrin]

That Iguanodon looks more like Aladar from Disney's Dinosaur then it did in the promo pics, which is a plus for me I guess, since that was one of my favorite childhood movies. I'm going to take a guess that it will be bigger then the Safari Ltd one (that I have). Even though I'm okay with articulation, I'm not a huge fan of how its been done on this figure, with the obvious seam line. The shrinkwrapping is still sadly there. Not sure if I'll plan to get it or not.

I'm glad the paint on the neck of the Acrocanthosaurus seems a bit more blended, since it seemed a bit too harshly red on the promo pic. I definitely hope to get this one when it is available for those in the US.

Edit: I'm glad the Quetzalcoatlus is big. Otherwise my thoughts haven't changed on it (not perfect anatomically, but I like the color scheme and pose sort of). Not sure if I'll plan for this one either since I don't really collect pterosaurs currently.

[IrritatorRaji]

Awwh, the Acro doesn't look as good as I was hoping

[Reptilia]

The Quetzalcoatlus and the Therizinosaurus are huge, they seem to follow the same trend of the Baryonyx in terms of big figures.

Every new picture I see of the Quetz I like it more, I love the fact that it is massive and I think it'll make a cool display with the other two recent pterosaurs from Papo.

The Iguanodon I'm afraid might be the case of a magnificent sculpt partially ruined by a detail, which is the movable jaw of course. It's too soon to judge obviously, and I still will be buying it, but I can't help but thinking how better could have been without articulation.

Acro is simply fantastic! I look at it and then I look at the 2017 version on my shelf, and I just can't wait to swap them!
