Papo 2014 Snow Leopard walk around by postsaurichian

Really!!! I think that it looks exactly like a snow leopard that I printed out and drew. The paint job looks acurate to me. But each to his own

Thankyou for the great comparison photo, Bonobo

Yes ! I think it is fantastic, too

Wonderful paintwork, and for once a head that has the real size for an adult, instead of being "cute-large"

That is easily the best snow leopard I've seen yet.I love when toys get as heavily detailed as resin models.

I've been looking forward to the walkaround of this Papo item for long. Thank you very much. They are excellent photos.

Wondering when will the roaring lion come around?

OMG THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!!

Thank you for sharing Great photos!

Personally I think this looks like to be a very good mdoel, and the paintjob is, to my expectations, surprisingly great for a mass produced hand painted model

But congratulations!

What???? Weird?? I think it's the most amazing and life like figurine I have ever seen of a present day animal

This is just fabulous. I'm so excited about this model. As usual, Papo is producing fantastic animal figures and this Snow Leopard is superb.

I completely agree. When I fist saw pictures of this Snow Leopard, I thought it was a real one...it's just stunning. I think it's Papo's best one yet by far.

why?

I'm really disappoitet, that color looks so ugly, I would say it's one of the baddest paintjobs that Papo has ever done...
If I advertise with such a great figurine, so I would also like to get one like that.

Wow..you could not think more opposite of me if you tried on this one...I think its so perfectly painted that I had a hard time distuguishing the figurine from the real cat. I know Snow Leopards very well, and this is as good as it gets from Papo....its fantastically painted, and morphollogically perfect.

For me they look really different!
I also don't know why but I'm really dissapoint. I don't see anything similar like on the stock photo. So I don't think that I will buy it (and yes I have seen it in real life), but that's on other thing.

It looks exactly like the stock photo to me, and I would be willing to bet, to most others also.

I'm agree that it on the stock photo looks awesome, but now please compare it with the pictures on the first page, you will see what's the difference.

Sorry, I still think it looks very good and just like a real Snow Leopard. To me, its the most realistic cat figurine that Papo has ever done.

I think this is amazing Snow Leopard, I must get one! I think these new photos are better than catalog photos, it looks much nicer, the pose is really good Paint job could be better but that's the only flaw for me.

That's your option, I'm glaid that you like it. But how I said before I'm still not a fan of it. The figure itself is great (the head culd be a little bigger) but the paintjob is miserable.

Yes, our opinions of this one are very different, especially about the paint job. Thats ok. In real life Snow Leopards had a small head in proportion to the body size. In my eyes, I can't find anything wrong with this figurine.

Good that we have the right to our opinions
How boring life would be, if we all wanted to dress in black or all wanted to dress in pink  

My opinion is that I am absolutely besotted with this model, WOW !

Very good point Susanne. It's a great figure.

I just got this model myself and I have to say that it is not only the best snow leopard that you will probably ever see produced, It is, in my opinion, the single most beautiful and lifelike model I have seen, right up there with the Papo lioness. True, the paintwork isn't perfectly, flawlessly accurate, but it is so close that you hardly notice it. The sculpt though is just so perfect, particularly the face, that I have to pick it up and look at it every time I pass by my shelf. It is now the crown jewel of my collection!

I, for one, am thoroughly impressed with Papo's work on this model and highly recommend it to any one who is currently feeling skeptical about it, (I was myself somewhat disappointed with some of the pictures I was seeing). Once you have it in your hand though and can see it in person you can really appreciate just how beautiful it is!

it's a good one!

I agree. To me, it's the most beautiful and accurate figurine I have ever seen. I bought this one also, and when it's viewed in person, it is so fantastic looking that it's as if the real thing was just shrunken down to 1/24 scale.
