Joliezac's New Additions: Papo & Haolonggood *Oct. 7th*

The new Papo figures for this year are wonderful. The turtle is my favourite one too. I was also very surprised with the white peacock's paint job. It's not just a plain white figure, but has subtle features like the pretty tail feathers.

Wonderful additions!!

Congratulations for finding early versions of Papo felines. They're the best! I know it is boring but could you please check which batch versions are yours? They have numbers painted or clocks. If they don't have, they are really very early versions and honestly it is what they look like.

Thank you! I love the Papo felines, but I missed out on them initially because I didn't know about Papo very well, it is very rare to find them in stores in the US.

The leopard says 1118, I can't find any batch number on the jaguar, lioness and tigress

Thanks Jolie, it means those without numbers are very early versions. You did a good job finding them.

Lucky you who found new Papo models! Nothing to get here!

So odd how in France they are nowhere to be found

Although we ordered the new Papo 2 months ago at the store and they have only now been shipped, and we didn’t get the capuchin or Guinea fowl in even though they were released.. So who knows. More waiting I guess!

Wow, these are all stunning additions!! The felines are both beautiful and stunning to see!
The new Papo figures of 2024 look all amazing! I am really tempted by your photos to get them all too although I don't collect owls and turtles!! Thank you for showing!!

My additions for the month of September. I had a pretty busy month between work and family matters, but I still had some very exciting new additions!

The snow leopard is my favorite animal. I really love the snow leopard models I own, the CollectA, Safari, BotB, and especially Papo. Sadly by the time I was able to get Papo's beautiful snow leopard, it was a much later batch (2017). So I've been searching for an early 2014 version for some years now. I was so shocked when I saw a 2014 batch snow leopard pop up on eBay! The bid went much higher than I thought but I was so happy that I was able to get it!!

The best major brand snow leopard in my opinion, and it really rivals my original one.

I am so amazed by all the details on this figure. It really is a shame Papo's quality decreases so much over time. It really makes my original one look quite ugly, although that one will still stay in my collection since it was my original and I still love it.

I'm overjoyed to finally own this feline in it's original paintwork


Then some more Haolonggood dinosaurs for my collection. I am really getting excited about this (relatively) new brand

Congratulations

It is so cool that you look for the best painted versions. It requires some time, patience and knowledge. They are worth the effort. Papo models should always be a priority in our wish lists or we will miss the best production batches or take ages to find a figure if it gets retired.

The new snow leopard looks amazing!!

Congratulation for your new old Papo snow leopard

I'm really sorry you can't detox from those bloody Haolonggoods! I know what it's like, I'm afraid I'm incurable myself.

What a shock to see the two Papo snow leopards together! The earlier edition (right word?) is really stunning.

I recently saw a Papo display in a shop and was really surprised by the variety in paint qualities (newer and older, as you've described). Their sculpts are so nice - it serves them better to have nice paint.

Happy you could get the Papo snow leopard first version!

I don't specialy collect dinosaures but these Haologgood ones are very tempting!
