Here's catalog page with all the 2021 Papo figures. As you can see, the new additions to the prehistoric line are Megalodon and Young Smilodon.

Well, that's two of them at least. Surely there will also be a dinosaur or two. That Megalodon looks decent judging from the single image, but naturally we'll need to see more.

[suspsy]

Oh, and a Canada goose! The meanest, toughest, nastiest bird in North America!

[Dinoxels]

Oh, okay. Alright, alright.
Megalodon looks pretty trashy, reminds me of Schleich's Great White.
The baby Smilodon is nice, will be getting that along with the Emus.

Given how hard to get the Safari Smilodon cub is, I might get that one as a stand in, nice.
The shark doesn't interest me but if they did a species of extant shark or ray that CollectA, Safari and Mojo have not made, I would get that though.

[Faelrin]

Can't say I'm terribly interested in these, although I guess I am wondering how the CollectA and/or PNSO ones will compare to this new Megalodon. I suppose it was also inevitable for them to do a Megalodon. I guess other then Schleich the rest of the big name brands have one by now. Though I would be curious to see their take on Dunkleosteus (though I wouldn't surprised if they went with the old Coccosteus tail hypothesis), if they ever bother to do one.

Edit: I guess the wolf is probably part of their fantasy line, but I wonder if it could work as a stand in for a Dire Wolf instead?

Honestly, these two prehistoric figures are alright. The Megalodon looks decent, and I have been recently looking into purchasing one. PNSO's articulated jaw version is a definite no for me, so Papo's could be it. I don't collect prehistoric mammals, so the cub is a pass, but it does look alright. However, what intrigues me the most are those birds!!! The goose in particular. Also I think those may be the only two releases, assuming that is the entire 2021 catalog. Papo is not really my priority anyways.

Can somebody merge the topic @Takama started with this one?

The megalodon can pass for a current shark honestly does not seem interesting regardless of whether it may be well done by Papo, I'll stick with its collecta counterpart.

I like the smilodon calf better and it can be a companion to my safari calf smilodon. There are few baby smilodon on the toy dinosaur market, it's good that Papo made one.

another place I'm saving money, awesome.

Been a few years now since I've bought a Papo model, they better step up their game what with the new competition in town. Papo is being pushed out of the niche it created.

Better quality pictures

Is the bovid next to the megalodon supposed to be an aurochs? If so than I'm definitely interested in that.

[Lanthanotus]

The recent dinosaurs definetly raise my interest... now, let`s see what they got in their backhand...

[Primeval12]

No dinosaurs? I am beyond disappointed. Let's hope they have some up their sleeve.

Yeah, that's definitely been the case this year. The Megaloceros is great for its rarity, but its sculpting is below that of CollectA and Safari. The Giganotosaurus and the Chilesaurus received way more attention for their inaccuracies as opposed to their actual quality. And nobody really talked about the Stygimoloch at all.

Does this mean there will be at least 5 more models by Papo 2021?

No, those codes belong to already existing figures.

So far this is super disappointing
