2013 Figures

[CityRaptor]

Yes. One would think that with most companies getting rid of their prehistoric mammals, Papo would make theirs more widely available to fill the niches left.
I also hope for some more Permian and Mesozoic Animals.

[Ikessauro]

Anyone else wondering why the rhino is labelled as an exclusive?

The store that is listing it is always one of the first to have Papo new releases for sale. They get the model a couple of months before everyone else and sell as an exclusivity. But eventually the figure gets release everywhere else, as happened with the Smilodon.

[Aram-Rex]

Just heard on Dan's Dinosaurs that a PAPO Wooly Rhino is coming in 2013. I'm gonna explode!! The Wooly Rhino is my favourite prehistoric beast. Excited as hell!

[Seijun]

*hugs papo*
Finally a wooly rhino!

[Roselaar]

That Woolly Rhino looks pretty good! Too bad Papo can't make their Mammoths look as dynamic as their other prehistoric mammals. I look forward to seeing what else Papo has in store for us next year (if anything).

[tanystropheus]

Absolutely gorgeous---Papo's Wooly Rhino is by far the most aesthetically pleasant version that I've ever seen, and I was looking around for a decent wooly rhino for a very long time. Papo's Smilodon is lukewarm at best, and their newer Mammoths are quite bad.

The rhino looks pretty cool. Based on that picture, it looks like their best prehistoric mammal so far. I hope this means htat we're getting a terror bird, a megatherium, a macrauchenia or an andrewsarchus in the coming years.

By the price I assume it will most likely be close in size to the Brontotherium???  It is the best WR hands down - move over Safari!!!!  Better yet it will look NICE next to the Aurora Mammoth.

In terms of quality,that Coelodonta looks to be well above that of the Aurora mammoth.

[ZoPteryx]

Very nice rhino, the best out there as far as I can tell!

[Jetoar]

I think the same. Wolly Rhino is one of my favorite preistoric mammals and I look forward that papo or schleich do it.

[CM]

Oh wow, that's a really nice-looking rhino.  I hope Papo starts picking up some of the prehistoric mammal slack, especially if this is an indication of where they might go.

They are different companies, so that won't be much help.

So are there no new Dino's coming from papo next year??! Please tell me yes and this isn't it. I mean only one on that page is new.

[cordylus]

This is the first year I'm legitimately disappointed in carnegie. That's... a giganotosaurus with a weird fin on its back. They surely could have done something more interesting with it, like giving it a throat pouch or something. Oh well.

Wild safari looks promising. I'd put money on those elasmosaur teeth coming out terribly, though. The gastornis and diabloceratops look fantastic! And a cambrian toob, omg. Can't wait for that one. Maybe 2014 will hold my long-awaited prehistoric amphibians toob, haha

The whooly rhino from papo looks cool too, I'd bet most people with mammal collections would like to own one. I wonder if it will be released before their brachiosaurus...

In a previous year (2010-2011?), Papo released information about the Styracosaurus and followed up a few months later with information regarding the Ankylosaurus.

[tanystropheus]

I don't really see the point of a Schleich Styracosaurus---We already have a few truly exceptional Styracosaurus models (e.g. Papo, X-plus, Kinto/Favorite 2012).


P.S: Did Styracosaurus really have a slightly long neck (relative to other ceratopsians)? All the models that I've listed feature elongated necks.

[Gryphoceratops]

No longer than any other centrosaurine.  It may look a bit longer when the head is lowered since more neck is being exposed.  The Papo model is a little disproportionate.

Hey Cordy !

Yeah I was hoping for a bit more from Carnegie myself..everyone gets an " off " season every once in awhile..I just figure 2014 will be even better.

The elasmosaur I think if they area as bad as I think I can fix them up quick with some fingernail clippers and paint..

The Papo Brachio is released already in Germany , just not quite got here yet.
