Questions about Papo

The first pic is what you think you'll be getting when you order the raccoon,
and the second pic is what you will actually get.

Papo can be funny like that.   

Ohh, yes. Now I remember, - some people got quite disapointed when they got one

I think one picture is from a dealer's catalogue, the other from a consumer's one   
Usually the quality of the print is a lot better quality in the ones for dealers.

But I might be wrong.
What do others say ? I would LOVE it if there were variations to look for

I had the same reaction Christophe did. My Papo raccoon looks like the first one (the one in Christophe's picture). It's a nice model.

I ordered it online at H and H Winners Circle, and it says it came out late February. It should be here by now! I'm getting sad, because it's so amazing and I wanna see it and feel it in person, not look at pictures on Google! Does anyone know when it will be here?     

In summer, perhaps ?   

Please don't be sad , dear friend !!!
This happens all the time, so you must be happy when they actually arrive

Thank you, Susanne!   

It will come, don't worry. Maybe ask H&H about it?

Don't worry, Papo is a very slow brand, they everytime need a little more time that Schleich, but this year they was really fast. So I'm sure it will arrive soon.

Release dates are always approximations. In my experience, Mojo is especially bad at hitting their projected release dates with Papo usually being not quite as bad. Just remember, when it says "Scheduled availability", that is only an approximation based on information that the company has given to H&H. It isn't a guaranteed release date.

If H&H shipped it, you would've gotten an email from them saying they shipped it. From what I can see, they (H&H) appear to be busy with orders because it's close to Easter, everyone getting their income tax refunds back and everyone placing orders.

What I don't understand is why H&H gives a release date but TGF Toys gives one that's different?   For example, the Papo beluga - H&H says March while TGF Toys says mid to late June.

Hello all!   

in a few weeks I'l go on a trip to Amsterdam, to go Model shopping! xD
I made a list of models I will choose, because otherwise i'll stay in the shop for an hour.. xD
so I searched pics of the models in Real life, but I can't find some clear pics of the Charolais cow from Papo.   
If someone has it allready, would you please, If you want, take some pictures of that model? a small walkaround would be great! :)

Would be really helpful! Thank you!

Have a nice day,

Stardust~

Nice you can get some Papo soon! Have fun with the trip to Amsterdam. I'm very lucky my local Schleich-S store is selling Papo as well! Where in Amsterdam do you buy your Papo?

I don't have the Papo Charolais cow myself, but have you tried ToyAnimal.info? Here is some Charolais cattle, including a Papo cow. I hope this helped! Have fun in Amsterdam!

I'm glad I could help you! And yes, ToyAnimal.info is a very helpful site!

Well, the next time when I am in Amsterdam, I really have to visit their store! Great to hear they sell CollectA as well; here in the Netherlands, I've only found CollectA in one museam and one zoo. Thanks for the shop's name!

Heay I just found this shop: another shop in Amsterdam selling Schleich-S, Papo and CollectA! Their adress is Vijzelstraat 22 and you can find their visiting hours here.

Oh my, thanks for the tips girls! Next time we are in Amsterdam, I'm dragging my boyfriend there XD

You're very welcome, Karin!

I found two others. This one is in Amsterdam as well, and this one is in Heemstede (below Haarlem).

By the way, Karin, I see you're from Friesland; did you know that there's a shop in Leeuwarden which is selling Papo?

Susanne have done one some time ago
