Papo - new for 2019

[tanystropheus]

I'm not. In fact, I gave up entirely on Papo this year. Too expensive and, compared to CollectA and Safari, dull.

My acquisition of the brown RTR was purely by accident. I ordered the RTR through Mastermind's website back in 2012, the package arrived, and when I opened it up, there was Brownie!

LOL. Maybe that accident was a cosmic sign hinting at something 

[tanystropheus]

I have zero hopes

Zero hopes for what? The Giga? At least, we have some excellent versions by Eofauna and Vitae. Perhaps, PNSO will deliver a worthwhile interpretation of the Giga, as well.

[Flaffy]

I hardly have any Papo figures in my collection due to their absurdly high price and inaccessibility.
It's sad that all their decent sculpts have been pretty uninteresting species choices, and those that do interest me (Polocanthus, Amargasaurus,  Tupuxuara) have either been discontinued, or cursed with poor quality sculpts.

[Atokensis]

That ceratopsian really resembles Pentaceratops to me. The details on it look spectacular so far and I can't wait to see full images soon!

The Giga or Carcha

Or any interesting theropods like Concavenator and so on.

I honestly prefer the original Dimetrodon over the repainted one. I hope it doesn't turn out to be one of papos for 2019.

Yeah, the original paint job is better. Papo probably wants to differentiate itself from Schleich's Dimetrodon (which was unwittingly copied from Papos) without the realization that Schleich had a change of heart and has already taken measures to differentiate itself from the Papo by releasing another colored version.

[Minmiminime]

If that is a production repaint of the Dimetrodon, I like it, gives it an extra dimension 😊 However, I wish they'd just tweak the sculpt a little more when they do this. I don't like doubling up on identical sculpts in my collection. Missed opportunity to correct the toes, too!

[Shonisaurus]

I am honestly satisfied only with a pentaceratops and a reissue of Papo's tyrannosaurus rex maroon.

A pentaceratops would be great. On the other hand the giganotosaurus can wait, even years. Papo can make an outstanding paleoartistic representation of the giganotosaurus but in any case we already have the Eofauna and perhaps PNSO (nothing is impossible) make a paleo sculpture of this emblematic Argentinean dinosaur.

What is said more "is worth little and well that much and badly". A pentaceratops by Papo would be great and if it is superior to other brands it is already a reason to celebrate.

On the other hand, a dimetrodon repainted does not matter to me that they make, the touches of paint make that pelicosaurus become a higher quality figure.

[Faelrin]

I do like that Dimetrodon repaint, even if I still prefer the original color scheme, assuming it is official. I mean it isn't bad in any case, and could easily serve to make a sexually dimorphic pair with the original. Though I do question why the tips of the spines are exposed, but perhaps they are just doing what CollectA did. Edit: Well never mind it was a custom after all.

I really hope the new ceratopsian is a Pentaceratops. The only other one out there that I'm aware of is Schleich's, although that's still a decent figure (feet aside), especially the head sculpt. Torosaurus would also be a solid choice though since there aren't too many of those out there (if I'm being honest though I'm more interested in Pentaceratops, in terms of how its skull looks).

I do hope we get an interesting choice for a theropod (that isn't a repaint), like the years before.

[Saurox]

That must be a Pentaceratops .Still, I don't think I will be interested in any ,since Papo's releases tend to be awesomebro and not scientifically accurate at all,so they will most likely be a pass 





Still,who knows?

'Awesomebro'  The fact that that term is still used is enough to make my teeth curl. 

[Shonisaurus]

Most likely it is a pentaceratops, but I repeat it could be a coahuilaceratops is another dinosaur with considerable gola and is believed to possess one of the largest known horns that rivaled chasmosaurs such as torosaurus and triceratops.

[Concavenator]

I can't see the picture of the Dimetrodon... Have you got a link to the pic?

[Reptilia]

Do you guys think that that Dimetrodon is official? Assuming it is, the paint job looks sloppy to say the least, details like the eyes and the tip of the spines just scream 'amateur'. Super excited for the ceratopsian though, if it actually turns out to be Pentaceratops it'd be the second year in a row that Papo blows one of the few decent Schleichs out of the water (Schleich decent Therizinosaurus < Papo masterpiece Therizinosaurus).

I've been told that there are six new models for 2019, two of which are repaints, so if that Dimetrodon counts as one maybe the Allosaurus is a new sculpt then. But personally I'm more inclined to think that it is either a custom repaint or a Stegosaurus / Spinosaurus situation, slight variation that doesn't have a new catalogue number and therefore doesn't count as a new release.

[Ikessauro]

I honestly prefer the original Dimetrodon over the repainted one. I hope it doesn't turn out to be one of papos for 2019.

Have anyone actually seen this repainted Dimetrodon. They way you guys are talking here, makes us believe so, but I can't find pictures.

EDIT: nevermind, I just checked the first page. To me it looks like a custom.

[SpartanSquat]

I talked the other day with jetoar about the possibility of if that ceratopsian could be Coahuliceratops. Interesting it was revealed in a Mexican page...so this could be a guess.
About Dimetrodon, I saw the facebook page state that is a repaint by Noise Eddy

[Atokensis]

.. which can only mean that its a custom. Plus, the painting quality doesn't match papo so I guess its safe to assume that it isn't official.

2 repaints and 4 new sculpts? Interesting. So far we heard Allosaurus, Brown running T.rex and possibly Pentaceratops/Coahuilaceratops. I wonder what the other 3 could be.

My hopes:
Giganotosaurus or Carcharodontosaurus
Albertosaurus or Yutyrannus
Ouranosaurus
Stygimoloch
Suchomimus

Thanks for the clarification.  How did you manage to find it?

I found the  Paladinos facebook page about Dimetrodon and it reveals it was a custom paint

[hao_bao]

Saw 5 pages and got excited. Then realised it was more speculation and was disappointed.
