Papo 2019 releases with official pictures!

Gosh ! I have been away from the computer for so long, bit what a welcome back !!!

The kingfisher !! The ram !! The alpaca !!! The lioness, the hyena, the....SO many beautyful models

Hippogriffon, a new orc, nice fantasy news. ^^

Well ....I hoped something more from Papo...anyway:

love: Merinos, Rabbit, Manatee, Kingfisher, Lioness, Alpaca,Leopard Seal ,Alligator.
So and so : Dove
Absolutely not : zebra and hyena
Good the prehistoric range
The rest is good quality but I will not buy almost for sure.

The hyena really looks like a weird-pawed striped with spots.The toad lizard Looks Like a Schleich figurines.The Zebra is a waste. i like the Bassetee (basste-faced manatee),the gator (one further Mississippi one unfortunately...) ,Bull shark,leaopard Seal (now all have one?)and the kingfisher.And the lioness

The Salers Cow is she an old model ????
updated or a new sculpture

The Salers cow is a re-released model, maybe the painting is different, or something. I will buy the Merino ram and the new Zebra sometimes Papo gets overly dramatic on poses of models.

It's been referred to as the closest thing we have to a brown hyena... and then they went and painted it like a spotted.

It's better than their first try, but it's still about as much as I expect from Papo.

Thankyoy for the info

The zebra painting is just awful.
The kingfisher and piranha are wonderful, but I guess too large for my scale acceptance.
The manatee will be the only one that I will try to buy. It's better than the previous CollectA model of my wishlist (that have a too warty skin).

Anyone venture the species of hedgehog? Just the European one? I assume since it is in the 'Farm' series it might be one of the Africa species in the pet trade?

EDIT: I think it is the four-toed (or white-bellied) hedgehog, which is the popular domesticated one.

As far as I can see in the e-shops, it is among the Wild Animals, not farm
But it does cerainly have a white belly

Pet animals are not farm animals anyway. I guess that probably, Papo looked for images of "hedgehog" for make their model, and they sculpted and painted this one after the very popular four-toed hedhehog (Atelerix albiventris), as colour of head and belly doesn't matches with European common hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus), but they just didn't cared about what concrete species of hedgehog are they making.

It is not uncommon for companies to lump 'pet' and 'farm' animals into their broad sales categories. It's listed in the thread above as 'farm' at the top of this thread so I assumed it was the domesticated one, A. albiventis (although on the photographed catalog pages it is with the other wild animals...). This is good, as it should be a different species than Schleich's European hedgehog.

One last addition to the 2019 line.


what a beauty

look at the teeth: that's beyond the level of any other papo dinosaur

and the paintjob... specially on the second picture that shows the pattern on the tail it's just gorgeous!!.

Well, Papo sure managed to keep that one a secret!
Spino looks very nice and very big.
It will be an expensive figure I guess.

WOW !!!
Thanks for sharing, Fossa !!!

But...but ... it is a limited edition
No, no, no, pleeease, no - I want one

Yes Bloodrayne, it's likely to be over 30€ i asume... but hey!! if you want an awesome spinosaurus other options make that price affordable in comparison.

but how pricey it ends up being depends on how much exclusive it is. if it's exclusive to France like they previously did with their original brown running t-rex, i have no clue how expensive that was, but if anyone knows of a french online shops that sell this kind of stuff please let me know.

You're welcome, Susanne
let's hope to be lucky and get one

I don't even consider that expensive.
That's what I have to pay for Therizinosaurus and Acrocantosaurus from Papo.
My guess is that Spino will be more like €50-60....or is that what you mean?

well i was thinking certainly more than 30 but reasonably not much more than 40... considering it's not THAT MUCH better than their other stuff.

but since it's a completely new model and it's limited, with production costs being high and all, i don't think it's profitable for papo to invest that much money just to sell a few thousand units... unless those are VERY expensive.

maybe it's even more expensive than what you said.

but i honestly have no idea lol

There are some very expensive figures, and it is necessary to think that in many countries there are no

stores that sell them, then we must add the cost of shipping.

Here in Colombia, this hobby is expensive.

Well, I need to know if it is a limited edition for a special shop  It seems wonderful

i know so far that people on dinosaur toy forum are already reserving one at everything dinosaur.

That spinosaurus looks terrific! What a fabulous figure!

I read really mixed reactions to Papo's 2019 figurines, but I can't express how happy I am with their choices. The common kingfisher is, like Karin said, a dream that came true. I can't wait to get it, I'm really curious about its size. I would have been content with the kingfisher, but then Papo came with a new manatee, and this.. This is truly a piece of art. I really hope they stick with the paintjob as can be seen on their pictures, because it looks like it comes right out a Van Gogh:
