The Papo 50272 Emu, a walkaround by Kikimalou

Papo decided in 2021 to follow Mojo and Southlands Replicas paths, producing an emu. It is one of the most prolific ratite in the toy world, only second to the Ostrich of course, and far behind it

I suppose you know what is an Emu, what is Papo and what is 2021. So let's dance the pics

Beautiful photos of a good model as it seems Christophe!
I prefer the southlands in every aspect, but the papo model takes the 2nd place.

Is it leaning to the front a bit or my eyes play tricks?

Beautyful walkaround and great comparisons
And - of course - WONDERFUL pictures

Searching through pictures of emus, I can see that they can look quite different.
Facial fethers etc, - probably a question of the time of the year.
So these three are great to have together, even if the Mojo bird could have a bit nicer paintwork... colose-up photos , however, ofthen reviel more that we notice when the models are standing on a shelf .

A nice emu family :)

If a synoptic collector dares to asks me opinion to suggest the best, emu, it will be a problem. I really like all of them. Maybe my suggestion would go to the Southlands model just for collectability reasons. Much easier to choose the best emu chick. The walk around is excellent as usual, I'd say if we count kiwis species as a unity, they may be slightly more prolific than emus but that is a very debatable comment. First they are more than one species and I am not completely sure that kiwis are commoner than emus in toy shape. Much easier to compare ostriches with rheas.

Wonderful walkaround of this stunning emu

Great walkaround as always, Christophe. Thanks.

Did you get the heron as well?

Thank you my friends

Maybe a bit but the Southlands is leaning to the left and the Mojo to the right

Kiwis are less common than Emus on TAW. It is even fun to see than some are listed as North Island brown kiwi AND as Southern brown kiwi

A, so now I know they look a lot! I divided the kiwi page into species since we've found the K&M polybag with different species but apparently the job was not completed. I will move those not specified to the kiwi page.

Wonderful walkaround again, I love the details of the feathers, and how there is a mixture of light and darker paint, it shows how dense they are just like on the real bird!
It's great that we now have another model of this species by a major brand!

Yes there is a lot of works to do on TAW    But I can see a good team is working these days and some good jobs are done.

I never thought I would buy one more Emu after the excellent Southlands Replicas one but I had a great compulsive buying moment when I discovered it at Modelpferdversand .

Remember I still have to reduce my collection

It's a very nice emu and a wonderful emu chick Thank you for the walk-around., Christophe!  
I don't know which of the three I like the most but I really like the head of Papo one, especially the profile view. It's also very nicely painted.
We have some emus in the toy form now. I think it would be fun to see also more cassowaries in the future.

I´m still more in need of a rhea figure from the modern brands^^ We already have two cassowaries but no Rheas. But we can see Rheas nearly in every zoo - but perhaps they are not colorful enough for the companies...

I still don´t know which Emu I should buy. The Papo looks really nice, but something disturbs me with the eyes...but when I think at the emus that I met in Australia, they all have disturbing eyes^^

A white rhea and a normal colour rhea might be a nice set, with different poses like the Noah's pals ostriches

I'm affraid Rheas look too much like female ostriches but who knows ?

I love love love to watch walkarounds !
Even if I have the model already But still not the chick. On my shop was sold, so I hope soon I will get it too.
It is a wonderful model and goes really well especially with the Southlands one.
And I think this time Papo menage to make these models ( together with the heron ) far more stable.
It look`s the material is harder and also the poses of the legs , better for stability .
So I hope , we will not have problems, like with marabou stork and flamingo ... but let`s wait for the summer
Thank you for this great photos Kiki

Thank you for your kind words Kosta

I'm already waiting for summer

Wonderful photos

Thank you Massimo
