Some new Papo in my collection

Hi Friends.

Here are the latest aquisitions of my collection:

They are fabulous, the Bison isn't at all red, it looked sandy red in the catalogue picture didn't it. I really would like to get him. Congratulations Torben, beautiful additions.

Indeed, the bison's color surprised me. It looks much better in reality than its depiction in their catalog. The orang utan looks good too.

Congratulations Torben to your new wonderful additions. Yeah, I was surprised by this American Bison's color, I also thought it's coloring was awful. But actually, the color is just simply amazing. I am still waiting for mine to arrive from the US.

congrats Torben, another great addition !

I agree the Bison and the Orang-utan are much much better on those pics than on the business one.

The reasons why Papo often choose bad pics to show the models are still a mystery for me

The reason why those beauties are still not available in the shop displays in France is another mystery

But ok, I just need to be patient and they will be here before chrismass I guess...

I agree with you Christophe. The Papo always gives us a very confusing photos in their catalogs. Same here, the Papo Store here normally brings new stuffs only on the last quarter. That's why I have to buy from US if I want them so badly.

Great animals,Torben!I am surprized with the Limousin cows!They look very nice.

I don't understand something.The ones with white painting on them started getting flaky at the border with other colours,like brown or black.Most of the dogs have this problem,including mine.Why couldn't they paint it normally?Dogs don't have flaky fur!

Lovely new additions

I have the dogs on their way to me :)

The flaky fur is called Mapping. You get that effect when the two fur colours meet together. It's very common in piebald horses.

But figurines tend to become less real looking(well...sometimes)!
My basset hound looks odd...

More great addition Torben. The bison looks amazing.

Good new additions Torben!
I specially like the dogs!
There is something odd about the bison, like in the CollectA model.
The "nick' in the neck makes it look strange, because they don't look like that in the real.
The neck isn't visable in the real, it is too furry for that, even in the summer.
Then the position of the head seems odd to me, the head of the animals is always more or less down, as the head is heavy with the horns and big furr.
For that, the Schleich one is the best, although not so detailed....

I agree Willy, the SCHLEICH, just like the BRITAINS before, are really like Icones of "The Bison".



BUT, about bison, the thing I need is more like that :



I NEED A HERD ! So I need bisons who have strong personnalities like the PAPO or COLLECTA ones just like that

They are really amazing creatures, I think out of the Papo and CollectA the Papo one looks most like the real thing.
They are very scary when they walk by the car and bellow to other Bison, it’s so loud and deep. I agree with Ron, I think he said it, they do look devilish.

Anyway, i would love to buy the both other bisons too...
The pic that Christophe did put here is nice, it looks much like the Britains models, which he did un purpose i think, haha.

Hi Friends,

today i received some more new Papo´s. Here they are:









Now i have 260 different animals from Papo. I still miss 22 animals, mostly newer horses, than is my Papo collection complete (till 2010).

Congratulations on your additions Torben, love the Provence Donkey!

Thanks Harriet

Congratulation Torben

By the way the Provence donkey is a very good sculpture but it seems Papo changed the colours on this model, am I right ?

Great additions Torben. In no time your collection will be complete until the new ones come out.

[quote="Admin"]Hi Friends,

Papo zebras are... well i don´t like them Compare to Schleich (they are perfect) Papo is really week with zebras. Retired male and foal are bad too I don´t get it...

Hi ! First- sorry for my enghlish! Second can you, please, make a picture of limousine cow near the scottish cow from schleich . i,m courious about scale, in our shops papo is totaly absent and i want to order some figures from germany. thanks!

Wonderfull new additions again Torben, and nice to hear that you almost completed your Papo's!
The ones that you call roebucks are the female and the calf of the red deer by the way, see the Papo page for that.
Only the female shouldn't have those spots,but ok...

Papo is bad in zebra's indeed, i don't know why?
