top three best papo models

I think the best 3 models are the 2007 hippo, greater kudu antelope, and the puma. which do you think are best?

Lioness, gnu and meerkat - anyone of the threesome

I don't have many so I won't give 3...but I'd put the tiger in there

all great but i prefer the puma over the lioness. i have the gnu as well its realistic and detailed but strangely posed.

Tiger, crocodile, and lioness

I would have to say the crocodile(beautifully detailed), Lions(really any of the lionesses), and the tigers(mostly the tigress with cub)!

Today? The lioness, okapi and chamois! Tomorrow? Maybe yak, Nile crocodile and bule wildebeest. Next day? Hippopotamus, tiger and lioness with cub! Next week? Tigress with cub, marmot, bactrian camel... Next mounth? Meerkats, komodo dragon, cape buffalo! Next year? I need to wait and see what they will launch!
Seriously I really don't know. The best replicas? Maybe black rhino, young lioness and orangutan? ... ... or should I say greater kudu, cheetah and sea turtle? Sorry, I need some more time to think!

currently i want the black rhinoceros, yak, and marmot. the chamois is amazing, i added that to my collection recently.

The English Thoroughbred, the Pyrenees Bear, and...hmm...I'm going to have to go for the Lioness, it is just too beautifully rendered to ignore, even though I'll give honorable mention to the Gnu, the Hippopotamus and the Crocodile; they are close runners up. (And maybe even a shout out to the Sea Turtle, but no bold font I'm afraid.)

I think it is a bizarre figure in many ways, and doesn't have the virtues of my other favorites by Papo, but I love it, especially its streaky paintwork.

The lioness holding her cub is one of the best 'off the shelf' animal models ever made IMHO.

Greater Kudu, any large cat, and the large elephant bull with his trunk up...I may have to add on the new 2012 Oryx...we will see.

I agree with Roger, I'm unable to choose only three of them. PAPO is a brand with only two kind of models : The ones I absolutely dislike, like the dromedary, and the ones I fall in love like the tigress with cub.

Black panther, puma, mandrill

Kind of too difficult to suggest and the one I like most is the tigress with cub at least till now!

Yes, it is really impossible

But I tried to react on what first came to my mind.
However they aren`t the "best"
But I LOVE these...among many other

Then I tried again to think ( ) of those that are beautyful.
And these came first to my mind, - probably not fair to a lot of others, but ....

You are so right !
Some of Papo`s models are filled with charm, - almost a little abstract..and this horse is a brilliant example

I can't narrow it down to only three - Yak, Lioness, Nile Crocodile, Black Rhino, wild sow, 2011 bactrian camel and Simmental Bull
These are some of my favourites.

The Lioness ,the Nile Crocodile ,the Polar Bear ...and I love many of their dogs.

My 3 favorites from Papo are chamois, lioness without cub and hippo calf

My three best: Great kudu , triceratops and polar bear.

GREAT idea

From those I have: Kudu Antelope, NewFoundland Terrier and Platypus. But that Lioness looks so good on photos!

I forgot about the Polar Bear, although mine is different. (Picture Below) I also like the Panther (I seem to remember they call it a Black Jaguar, but I'm not sure and too lazy to find out right now).

I'm really looking forward to getting more dogs by Papo. The Boxer looks just fantastic. And the Collie as well.

(Sorry, a little dark. So hard to take pictures of dark animals.)

I wish Papo would do a Snow Leopard. They do Big Cats so well. (Although, the Papo Lynx looks very odd to me in pictures. I haven't seen it in person yet.)

Bojan, the lioness looks good in person too! She looks great! Almost all their Big Cats are extremely impressive. In that area, Papo is completely unrivaled.

Sorry, just a couple more remarks. (And then I'll stay quiet and stop using up forum-space.)

Ana, I love the Papo Chamois too! It's the best, in my opinion, of the three chamois figures I know (Papo, Schleich, and Bullyland).

I love the Kudu too. It is so big though. (It is going to jump on that Triceratops and start biting it with its tiny, but ferocious mouth.) Still, I'm very glad I have it, despite its size.
