Papo 2020

Here's my positioning.

Can someone cut the head and switch it with the PNSO Giga one? I'll pay good money for that crossover

How much. Im the man to do that job

[Loon]

I don't think all the cutting and repositioning in the world could save this thing. At that point, just buy the Eofauna.

Honestly, Id buy safari over eofauna.

Honestly, I'd buy the Mo Models one but who am I kidding I have all of the Gigas and I'll buy dupes if I want to. As much as it pains me I'll buy this one too. I do wonder how the head of this one would look on a standard pose like PNSO since that one is the closest to Papo like details.

Need a sample pic and if its a good job I'm serious about paying for it

Safari's a great figure, too. 1000 times better than the Papo. And probably, given what new Papo figures have been going for, half the price.

Safari giganotosaurus is superior to the aforementioned model of Papo, sincerely his "retro" stance spoils the sculpture completely and I say it with all the respect in the world.

Safari's it's a very good figure, but Eofauna's is overall much better. Eofauna giga has a longer and more accurate tail sculpture, and the neck specially is much better sculpted. Just compare the detailed upper and lower part of the neck with the plain sculpture of Safari's. And the folds and wrinkles of the skin on the belly and under the tail and between the legs, Safari's is almost flat with little detail, compared to the great attention Eofauna has paid to that areas. And not even talking about the color ...    and the fixed base ...  Safari's is quite far away from that masterpiece that Eofauna's is.




And Papo's giga is galaxies away from Safari and Eofauna ... it's just like the inflatable humanoid t-rex costume. Sorry, Papo. The therizinosaurus was quite acceptable in that position, so is the Pentaceratops, but a giganotosaurus .... nope. Whenever I see the picture I rub my neck instintively.

I'm surprised and happy to see that Papo is producing a Megaloceros figure!
From when I discovered that species I always wanted a figure of it although the only one I knew until now was the Simba predators one. The idea of a giant prehistoric deer for some reason fascinates me more than any mammoth or saber toothed cat.
So obviously this new model from Papo makes me joyful, also because I really like it a lot! The sculpting is superb, and if I don't like the paint scheme of the final model I can always repaint it. Anyways, i find it the best Papo 2020 figure and I'll certainly get one when it get released!

@Killekor Totally agree with you is for me the most beautiful figure of Papo the megaloceros of 2020. Honestly in my case I only had the representation in toy of Bullyland. Hopefully it is a bit larger than its Bullyland counterpart.

[Duna]

I'm very bad at Photoshop, but this is my rendition to Papo's giga, just to have a look at the nice colors. Just a longer tail, arms down and I would have been a fantastic giga. But not a giga from Papo, yes, we know ...

[SidB]

Come to think of it this is like the fourth fifth figure in this pose, so it is starting to get stale too. The Cryolophosaurus, Therizinosaurus, and standing tiger all have a pose like this. Edit: Forgot about the Baryonyx which also has similar splayed arms as this appears to have. Perhaps the two of them could debate over who has the more controversial pose?

Honestly I feel like if the legs were rotated it would have a fresh pose (though might be top heavy) as it would be looking down, as if it were to eat something. I can probably pull something off in a little bit just out of curiosity of how it would look.

Edit: Excuse how rushed this was in Gimp, and the bare amount of effort, but hopefully this gets the idea of what I mean across:

Rushed or not, I like this far more than the absurd original.

[Faelrin]

I'm digging all these reposing folks are doing. The more I look at them if it really weren't the pose (and the altered proportions such as the short tail), this figure is not all that bad. It still has that good sculpt detail that is typical from Papo that is able to make it look like a living creature despite its anatomical issues.

Who knows maybe seeing the final figure might change my mind. But regardless there are still plenty of decent options out there for this genus I could go with if need be.

[PrimevalRaptor]

It's really a shame, I'm hoping it's maybe a case like with the Gorgosaurus or Baryonyx where the actual product looks better (The Baryonyx did grow a lot on me even if I'd still prefer a more natural pose) because the sculpt in itself is amazing, especially the head looks beautiful and I prefer that one over the Eofauna's (Mostly cause I wish the stripes were a bit more blended on it). But otherwise Eofauna blows it out of the water, I mean I like dynamic poses, but not impossible ones.

Looking at it again, it does kinda look like it got spooked by a mouse prehistoric mammal

[Shonisaurus]

Sincerely they could have taken a little more effort to make an attractive giganotosaurus for which we are Papo collectors, the figure is hyperrealistic, well sculpted but the position gives an image of dinosaur and human hybrid and I say it with all the respect that the sculptor deserves which for me has been one of the sculptors who have most excited me in recent times by Papo, although they have their own philosophy and artistic license they could have made a spectacular giganotosaurus if they had wanted me to have rivaled even with the Eofauna brand but Unfortunately, even the pose is much less fortunate than the initial giganotosaurus of the Schleich brand of the Humbold Museum in Berlin. Papo's sculptor has enough capacity and ability to have made a much better standing giganotosaurus, although we will also have to see the next promotional photographs and the animal marketed by Papo in physical stores or online. The truth is that today I saw a child leaving a grocery store near my work (when I went out for breakfast, in my case it is a walk) that I had bought Papo's cryolophosaurus and was supercontentísimo, with this I don't want to say anything but perhaps among the children and youth public it has much better acceptance than among the adult public to which the members of DTF belong.

Just my own attempt at 'fixing' the Giganotosaurus.

I did an attempt too but how do you post pictures on this forum

The forgotten love child of an Abelisaur and Papo's Therizinosaurus.
