Papo 2020

[Shonisaurus]

@Killekor Thanks to you, Killekor is honored to pass the information or rather the link to DTF members.

@Faelrin It is bad luck that the production and commercialization of the dinosaurs is delayed but the important thing is that in China and in the rest of the nations affected by the coranivirus the greater number of lives is saved. There is life after dinosaurs. A person's life is worth more than all the riches and honors of this world.

I am in love with life.

[Faelrin]

@Shonisaurus I agree wholeheartedly that it is much better to have product delays if it means more lives can be saved from this.

[Dinoxels]

Hopefully this virus can get under control soon. Hope everyone who produces these figures stays healthy.

Dan's Dinosaurs has posted their pricing it seems to be the usual 35-40 for the Giga and the rest on the lower price range so no Papo Spino prices.

Best repositioning of the Papo Giga yet:

Christ, this thing could have been incredible 

Edit: reuploaded if the original image doesn't show:

[Shonisaurus]

I wish that Papo's giganotosaurus was as this ingenious baidu photoshop shows, the story of the great brand giganotosaurus would have been very different.

It has been an occasion wasted by Papo although in the end I will buy it to complete my collection, in fact summer is still far away and even winter with the delay of shipments.

That is Papo's giganotosaurus that I would have liked. Sigh

[MLMjp]

Thats fantastic! But at the same time more infuriating, because of the wasted potencial...

[Concavenator]

To be honest, I don't know why there's so much debate about photoshop edits when the figure will be released as already shown. There's no point in those edits The best edit you can find and that is an actual figure instead of a Photoshop edit is the Eofauna version 

[Faelrin]

Yep wasted potential for sure, but also agreed about the Eofauna one as well. I just hope they don't muck it up for Carcharodontasaurus if they ever get around to making one.

[Dinoxels]

Looks way better.

Ditto. The original, as I reflect upon it, seems to be a by-product of success gone bad. The Japanese, as I re-collect, referred to this phenomenon as "victory disease." Overconfidence. Papo has built up a deserved reputation, with their figures, for the dramatic pose. They really do have a flair for the dramatic. But with the Giganotosaurus figure, they went way too far - really, analogous to the actor who is guilty of overacting, of being melodramatic.

It will be interesting to see how it moves off the store shelves. I wouldn't want Papo to get the impression that this is what the public actually wants. Hopefully it isn't what the masses want ... .

Wow! Had no idea that my edit would gain as much attention as this! I'm very honored  . Been a long time since I browsed the forum, but did not expect to see such great feedback! Thank you all.

If you'd be interested, here is the full editing process on my Youtube channel.

I also do time lapse videos of both digital and traditional art. Thanks again everyone! I hope Papo will consider modifying this figure due to the deserved backlash regarding the pose.

Congrats for your work, it is fantastic.

[Shonisaurus]

@Aram-Rex You have done a commendable job and sincerely hope Papo listened to you and reissued that figure again. You have left the giganotosaurus as many members of DTF would like it to be.

Have you shared it with Papo?

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

Have you shared it with Papo?

A good Idea, but i think nothing will happen to the Giga. Papo sells its Figures Worldwide and most of the Figures are going as Toys. Children want Monsters, that can stand on most Play surfaces. This Giga will. And its big.
A lot of money went into producing the Sculpt, the Forms in China, planning... This List i going to get long.
I think Rebor wrote something about this here aswell.

This repo looks just amazing, but we have alot of other Gigas to choose from. On the other Hand, i feels the disappointment from Papo line collectors.

This Giga will get to the shelves in this Form. (I would love a repo, but i think this is not going to happen... )

[SidB]

Have you shared it with Papo?

Maybe I'm a bit cynical, but IMO I'd say that there are two chances that Papo would listen: slim and none.

[Syndicate Bias]

Best we can do is just share it around. I'm sure ED has taken notice or will stumble on it as well as more feedback to provide Papo regarding the Giga.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Maybe not now, but if they see what people want they might release another version later on..

Awesome, it reminds me of the art from Franco Tempesta
