What a year for bug an arthropodes lovers!
For me, there isn´t so much this year, but it seems Papo will be the winner.

The insects look great, but I fear that they´re to big for me, so that I rather would buy one of the many toobs, even that they aren´t as beautiful.

The golden jackal would be a must-have, but the figurine looks very lazy. The only interesting thing is that Papo gave it a species name, but it looks very poor for me.

The cormorant is very interesting, even that I have one from Kaiyodo. But the Kaiyodo one has this weird face pattern that doesn´t resemble the cormorants that I see nearly daily. Perhaps it is another species?
When not, I think Papo will replace it.

At last, there is the Hermann´s tortoise, a well-known pet. I´m sure there were already other figurines of this species in toobs or pet ranges. But it seems like Papo is the first big companie to name it so.

Edit: I just saw that Blaine thinks it could be a double-crested cormorant. That would be interesting news!

The cormorant could also be a Phalacrocorax brasilianus (Neotropic cormorant)since it lacks the crests of the double crested cormorant.

For the Hermann's tortoise,I guess Papo used the former Galapagos tortoise mold and only change the colour.

And YES Papo dedicaced 2020 to Blaine

The overall shape of the head is either Great or Double-crested. Too bulky for Neotropic. Nonbreeding Double-cresteds do not have the crests, so that’s still a possibility. The possibilities are either nonbreeding Double-crested or nonbreeding Great.

The final identification trick for the cormorant is whether the figure has yellow, bare-skinned lores. That is the case, and that would indicate a Double-crested.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
