Viking Spawn's Online Galleries

Thank you for the kind words everyone!

I'll be posting more soon! I love this hobby and happy to share it with you all.

Great photos! I like the exclusive velociraptor, very nice colours Thank you for making this wonderful walkaround

Wayne, that's a collection of walk arounds!
I love your pictures and you have a taste very similar to mine in terms of dinosaurs, so if I ever start collecting them, I'll revisit this topic to remember which ones I like best. Looking forward to see more pictures from your collection!

Thank you Ana and Roger for the kind words!  I'll be posting more galleries after the New Year's holiday!   I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Years!  

It´s a great dino collection Wayne!  ! I have only a few dinosaurs from Papo ( Ankylosaurus, Dimetrodon, Archeopteryx and Pteranodon) and one
Rebor model ( Utahraptor ), but from new year I would like to expand my dino collection, mostly with Papo and Rebor models.  

I have a small problem to decide, which T-Rex to buy, which is better – Rebor King or Papo running T-Rex?   What do you think? ( I mean pose, details,
colour, realistic look.. ) I like both, but they are quite a big guys and the king can be only one

Wow!  Tough one.  Papo or Rebor, Rebor or Papo?!

I guess it will really depend upon on much you're willing to spend and what exactly feels right for you.

Overall quality, I prefer Rebor!  However, if you want stability, then Papo is the proper choice since their T-Rex models do not require a stand. (However, the Papo walking version is known to topple and Rebor just released a new Triceratops base for the King to dominate!) And there is price to factor in.  Rebor costs approximately 3 times as much.

Both companies have made some beautiful models.

REBOR:

If you are looking for something more collectible and will most likely increase in value down the road, then your choice should be Rebor.  But if you want something that you may knock around and is quite common, then stick with a Papo.  Overall size, Rebor's figure is slightly bigger!

Both have awesome shelf presence!  However, Rebor is currently my favorite dinosaur company factoring in everything they've done so far!  

You can't go wrong with either and since they come in different colors, I say buy BOTH!  They can be mates and compliment one another.

Speaking of T-Rex's, here are Schleich's model and exclusives.  And no, I do not recommend these over Rebor or Papo.

Yes, it´s tough one  Thank you very much for answer, opinions and great photos with details, they are very helpful and surely helps me to decide  You are right, I also think that Rebor T-Rex is better quality and has more realistic look. It´s my no.1 dino factory too. But on the other side, I like Papo´s running pose more, it´s more dramatic. I have to think about it, but it is possible I will eventually buy both, as a T-Rex family Thanks! 

Interesting, I agree completely with Andrea. Papo's pose is nicer but REBOR seems more detailed. Hard comparison and probably already a classic among dino collectors. The Schleich rex doesn't generate any kind of excitment for me so this one would always be out of choice for someone who wants a single figure. Thanks for joining all these pictures here!

Thanks again Roger!

And here is my newest gallery showing the differences between the original Papo Allosaurus released 8 years ago to the one that is currently sitting on store shelves today.  Got to love the variations over the years.  

PAPO ALLOSAURUS (2008 Version 1)

Note the differences.  The original paint app is the figure to the right.

Aren't variations a good excuse to buy two of them? Great comparisons!

Thank you Roger. And yes, you are correct again! The more, the merrier I say!

The new one has nicer colours, I think
