Papo Giganotosaurus- Revised with natural posing

I took the official Papo images and reworked them in Photoshop to be a bit more natural......less horrifying.  I referenced Eofauna and Scott Hartman for this.
skull changed, arms smaller, legs less muscular, overall proportions fixed

Original


Revised



EDIT* I just saw that someone else did a rework of the posing a while back.

I'll pay top dollar send it my way

If Papo had made a giganotosaurus like the one you show, he would be an interesting figure and would pay anything to buy that beauty. The actual giganotosaurus to be marketed is a well-sculpted figure but the pose is genuinely flawed in absolute terms and differs greatly from the image that we all of the DTF members have of what a theropod in life should be like. Argentine dinosaur.

@croco_105 , your masterpiece of renewal is a reminder of possibilities lost. I can't remember any company having had such an opportunity, with such a level of anticipation and market readiness, as Papo and the Giganotosaurus, and having massively squandered this moment. Kudos for you and hisses and rotten tomatos   for Papo.

@croco_105 That spinosaurus from i-Toy looks very good, although due to the appearance of its front legs (not webbed) it does not look like a scientific spinosaurus.

WOW ... with no doubt your work is the best update for the Papo giga I have seen. I has just the perfect pose as it follows very closely the Scott's skeleton. And your skills with Photoshop are really good.

Great job!

Thanks! I'm afraid this posing is too natural and not extreme enough for a Papo model.  Too bad because the skin texture and painting is very good

Love seeing people give their spin to this horrendously posed model. I did this one a while back. Tried to make sure it still looked like a Papo styled model while also looking a bit less extreme

Now that's the Giganotosaurus we should have gotten. The proportions are right and it's delightful to the eye.

[Shonisaurus]

It would be the best giganotosaurus ever made by a toy brand if that were the real Papo giganotosaurus. It has been a wasted occasion.

[EmperorDinobot]

Yeah. The one they made looks like it is being run over by Argentinosaurus.

Utterly magnificent - sign me up for one if you open up your own factory.
