If the new catalog is out will we know what figures are retiring this year?

I came here to ask the same thing. I want to make sure I don't miss anything like I did in previous years.

It looks like quite a few of the new Papo are already available on spielzeug-guenstig, for example the common dolphin, shrimp, hermit crab, snail, butterfly, and "red" wolf pup.

The dolphin is on eBay and ships to the U.S. although I'm waiting for more to be available.

Hopefully they will start to become available to the U.S soon I'm most excited for Papo's figures this year.

only 2 of the pictures show up for me. the rest are broken links. anybody else?

I can see them all.

All pictures are working, could you try to check if they show if you use a different browser?

This year Papo has reissued some figures among its new releases.

Does anyone know (or has been able to check live) if these three figures have been released with variations in the painting or if it is just an exact reedition?

It was just announced that Papo will be releasing a kronosaurus after all This was the best photo I could find. Although I'm unsure if this will be a 2022 release or 2023...

I just posted about the kronosaurus haha. So happy to see Papo making these as well! I don't collect fantasy figures but the dragons and Cerberus look excellent!

The giant squid looks really great! Can't wait to get the squid & prehistoric aquatic reptiles

Those are some neat models! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Jolie.
I will update the first post.
Here is the giant squid, I would love to see a comparison with the Safari model when someone gets it.

Loving the squid! I'll be getting it when it releases and I'd be more than happy to compare it with my Safari model.

You're an angel! Many thanks! I don't have a single giant squid and here is a chance to choose one.

I've been hoping for a while papo would make some dragons as detailed as there dino's and the new air and sea dragons fit the bill nicely! Must buy's for me!

I'm on the fence about the air dragon, think I'd like to see some in hand photos first. But loving the sea dragon! Wish Papo was more easily obtainable here.

I'm not at all in Dragons and faeries but I must admit the Sea and Air dragons are really impressive

I'm not at all into fairies or most other fantasy figures, but my mind insists on lumping dragons in with dinosaurs- the imaginary cousins- and I've always loved them. Godzilla was always my favorite monster.

Oh I agree, I really like dragons because they're a fantasy version of a real thing : they're like a dinosaur and a large living reptile but bigger and more awesome, and somehow they seem possible and feasible in a way my head won't accept a lot of other fantasy creatures. Especially when they're done in real-looking colours, and with a lot of consideration given to comparative anatomy and realistic skin textures.

I don't think I ever actually believed in them, even as a child I knew the ones on tv were puppets or scaled-up lizards pasted in (I predate CGI animals by quite a long way, hahah), but I could enjoy them as characters, or scary enemies, or just gorgeous fascinating creatures in art.

The Giant Squid really looks amazing!
