Apparently there is going to be a set of 6 mini dinosaurs as well.
Anyone knew about them yet?

Thank you!  Nice dinosaurs!  

They're in a tube similar to Safari Ltd.'s:

I just can't believe that they cost $20 USD   

Too expensive!

It looks awesome, doesn't it?

Yes!!

Great poster Martin   They all look very promising! I hope the paintwork will be good, since I think last years catalog photos were a little too 'well coloured' and some people seem to get dissapointed when they got the actual models.

And the Percheron! Thank you PAPO! My 2nd must have this year, after Anna's Suffolk Mare   

If anyone's interested, Everything Dinosaur has individual stock pictures of the mini dinosaurs: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I'm actually more used by the manufacturers maybe it's the. But I really hope this is not more expensive than the lion or the tiger. Well, at worst, one can still repaint

I didn't get to look at the other pictures from Papo at the toy fair the other day, but the beluga and leather back sea turtle look very nice  I personally don't have a problem with the snow leopard, in my opinion I think it's better than Safari's. I can't compare it to CollectA's because I've never seen actual pictures of it, just the stock ones.


EDIT: Now that I've seen the CollectA snow leopards, I think both theirs and Papo's are the best ones on the market out of the major brands.

Wow!! Great pic! Is that new Papo?  

Yes,it is.

It is intteresting that this figure represents a step forward in Papo prehistoric collection but the Papo terrific show is untouched!
Great picture!

I must say its fantastic!
And that's that I am not into facils or Dino's !

Finally one decent looking snow leopard (I think the old collecta ones are mishap). The hippo cow looks very well... it's a maybe. The grizzly and a wolf cubs and the Galapagos turtle are quite good too. And the roaring lion looks great but too animated for me.
What I like about papo that (i) The paint job of their figures is very good (ii) The sculpting is very good too in most cases. But I don't like (i) the prices - twice the price of Mojo/Collecta. (ii) The diversity (at list of the wildlife figures) is quite poor (iii) the scale of some very good figures is so huge that I unfortunately can't add them to my collection. (iv) Some wildlife figures look grotesquely animated... like from Disney movie.
Still I think It's a very good brand... and the best orangutan, tigers and lioness figures are their.
