Papo 2020

[Faelrin]

@Carnoking Well it is working for me now. I don't know if you did something or it just spontaneously decided to work. It would be interesting if they would arrive by then to you. I'm curious to see how these will look in hand pics.

Do we have any idea of when the new Papo's will be available in official stores ?
I'm waiting for the new Feathered Velociraptor, thanks.

I'm struggling to see a major difference between the new paint job and the old. Maybe some comparison videos will shed more light on the matter. I also didn't purchase the repainted Allo for similar reasons.

Because there are none, the new one is just brownish and white, but I prefere this one over the old I don't own.
The new Allosaurus however makes a major difference, I find it outstanding, love that vibrant colors and contrast.
Unpopular opinion since I've seen many people finding it not as good as the old one that I've always found bland on the contrary.
But now you can make male/female couple I guess, same for the Feathered Raptors.

True, I suppose. I bought the new Stego since it was different enough. Just wish they had different posee.

So. Papo still doesn't have any new items up yet wonder if they still will come this year. Anyone any ideas when they will hit the market?

[Carnoking]

I've heard fall, and that wouldn't be out of character for Papo. Remember last year the spino took until november to become available. Usually by now a majority of them have hit the market, but with the way things are I wouldn't be surprised if the end of the year is now our best bet.

Yes I found somewhere it was Q3 2020 (don't remember where I found this).

[Shonisaurus]

From what I've seen at shop.modellpferdeversand.de they already have the repainted parasaurolophus from 2020 available on the market.

[Sarapaurolophus]

The new paint job on the old Parasaurolophus looks wayyy off on the release compared to the promotional image. I was a little shocked but hey, I am always happy to keep my money.

And for anyone not able to understand German, Rupi is just saying what we're all thinking: why is there such a drastic difference to the promo paintjob?

[Kapitaenosavrvs]

Oof oof oof. Oof. It is normal, that Promo Pics are not the real deal. Which is okay to me. No need to discuss that again after the Spino (Which i love).

But looking at the actual Figure in the Video, i am kind of shocked. I was expecting something similar to the Acro Repaint. The Paintjob on the Acro looks amazing, but the Para looks like a Knock off. I think, i am not too harsh on that, since Papo definitly has beautiful Paintjobs overall.

The worst part is not, that its not matching the Promo, but that the actual Figure looks bad.

I am not forgetting our worldwide Situation right now, so its quite hard to criticise. But almost 20 Euros... No.

[Loon]

I mean, the original Parasaurolophus paint job wasn't that amazing to begin with, but this looks like something off AliExpress.

[Andreioli]

Well, I have the Para repaint since last evening and I think it looks pretty good in hand.
Shure, it's darker than the stock photo and maybe not as detailded/blended but it is by no means an easy paint application, it has many different color shades and quite a complex pattern.
I'm happy with it

Thats good to hear. Videos from Rupi Bolz often have a high contrast, so maybe it looks worse than in reality. In the End its just a Video and not InHand. But i can't help it. It feels like Loon said. Some Figure from AliExpress.

[Lu_Yuping]

It's not the shading and contrast that's the problem, it's the fact it's a completely different colour.

[Sarapaurolophus]

It's not the shading and contrast that's the problem, it's the fact it's a completely different colour.

That's the way I feel. The promo paintjob reminded me of a tiger and I was 100% I'd get one, old model or not. But this final paintjob is green and red - will probably work better with the old release that was shades of green; but I personally have lost all interest.

Same here, I'll wait until I see some more.

[PrimevalRaptor]

The repaint doesn't look bad and I like that it's a bit more flashier than the original one (which I do still like though) but this is a letdown from the prototype for sure, quite a big deviation. I wonder if the current situation is to blame for simplifying the paintjob maybe?

[Shonisaurus]

Honestly, Papo's parasaurolophus, judging by the video, looks of worse quality than his promotional figure, although Andreioli says that this figure is better to see in person than on video, on the other hand, what I see in that figure is that it has sustainability problems, it falls easily but honestly the price of Papo figures are quite cheap and affordable compared to brands of figures of dinosaurs and other high quality prehistoric animals that we all know so that a maximum ratio of demand cannot be imposed without for I have to affirm that Papo figures for me are quite good figures, excellent even the outstanding spinosaurus so honestly in my case I will wait to see that figure in person rather than in a promotional photo since I think that fortunately it will vary positively. It should be borne in mind that Rupi Bolz with his videos with dark wallpaper in this case give an image of the parasaurolophus much less positive than that figure really is.
