Papo 2012 ? PAPO 2012 !!!!!

my friend informed about the new items today morning.alas i feel sad.new species but not great life in some poses.oryx and mouflon good but papo had done better earlier.the horns in the ram man could have been used for the moflon.oryx tail not bushy.but we all will bbuy them.

Wow, it is the first time I see the first preview PDF with new animal figures in Russian! It'd be less surprising to get the first info from a French source, but Papo is a mysterious brand indeed...
Well, among all the new stuff I only like the baby croc and the wild sheep. By the way, in the PDF it's called not a mouflon, but a bighorn sheep. That's strange, as papo tends to give preference to European species...

Thanks for the link :)
I like almost all new wildlife figures, there is not many of them though. I love oryx, mouflon, wild boar, new colors of doe, and baby croc is beautiful too . I like also reindeer but he seems to have horns glued to his head... Panda babies are not very fine. Horses are mainly repaints But I like laying and grazing cows very much
I'm not very disappointed but it would be nice to see more wildlife figures. I still have many to buy from the past years so maybe I will have a chance

The reindeer is strange with those glued horns...
The mouflon is splendid! Must buy!
The baby crocs are so cute! I wonder how big they are?
Of course,I love the T-rex family and Brachio.
Lastly, poodles! Finally poodles! And so many nice dogs!

Great news! I am very happy that Papo does not follow some another producers with large load of figures with very variable quality (who needs another ones like CollectA okapi, red panda or Schleich hedgehog?!). I like especially the new Papo reindeer, oryx and moufloun and I believe that real Papo figures will be much better than their photos in catalog as usually. BTW: But the zebroid painting can be slightly better...

I agree with you. Papo disappointed me. Whhy is zebrorse placed in the wild life? I think I'll buy it and call it a quagga (a specie that I always wished for). Baby croc is very interesting and it looks much like a south american cayman. And that's it. No more Papo for me. 2012 it's going to be Collecta's. Will Bullyland regale us with something exciting?

I'm quite disapointed this year for Papo, The baby croc and oryx are the only things I like. VERY DISSAPOINTED.

- white Lioness
- Oryx Antelope
- Wild Boar
- Bull Terrier
- Forest woman with sunflowers
- black Pegasus

Not much. So i can save money.
2012 is Schleich and a little bit Collecta.

I think the new figures are impressive. Especially the dogs! I really like the little ram, too.

wohooo Oryx, mouflon, baby croc and caribou are my fav and they will be definitely members of my collection... Oryx and caribou are amazing to me... sorry guys :) The rest of Papos are not interesting for me...
Waiting so long for so low 2012 collection? Papo is playing strange game. Anyway... I can focus on CollectA and Mojo next year... Big brands (Schleich, Papo and Safari) are going down for 2012...

Oryx, mouflon, babycroc and caribou... Maybe, only maybe

My last hope is the PAPO tradition of bad pics... But it's a tiny hope

Ok, more money this year for COLLECTA and MOJO I guess

And it's time to hunt some old good LINEOL

...The same... I agree with you Christophe. I very disappointed with Papo 2012. What is a bad brands tradition - white colour for old models. The regime of economy? The bad, bad tradition...

PS And where is my lovely ANIMAL-WARRIORS!!!!????

...Yes Kirill it,s very strange that the first information about french brand in the web is on russian. B.t.w. on russian this wild ram named not a mouflon, but a bighorn sheep exactly ...

Maybe also the bad tradition of Papo and their translations? I remember Christophe saying that in French language all wild sheep are called mouflon! The colour of the legs of the Papo figure is of a Mouflon and not a bighorn but those are two very similar creatures indeed. Another Papo mistery?

I almost forgot to ask about the zebroid.. It looks a very weird figure with an outdated mould. Does someone knows if this mould is a repainting from an old horse or so?
Well, we cannot complain a little thing, We spent all these years asking for antelopes and in 2012 Safari, Mojo, CollectA and Papo are launching antelopes. :) We must wait for Bullyland to know if ther's any other antelope figure. :) Schleich... nothing!

It's quite disappointed without the Animal warrior, even through I don't collect!!

Disappointed with Papo 2012:(
The zebroid seems to be sth like quagga in fact (I cannot make out what zebroid's supposed to be doing in "wild life", and as lond as Papo's a bit inaccurate in making equines... well, I still think they meant sth like quagga).

Horses are rather poor. Though I like the new color of an Icey and hope to get one.

But the dinos! And the reindeer! And the crocs! Oh, I'm in love with them now))) I feel like starting a croc collection

i find this picture on this site [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] What do you think? is not the velociraptor...i think...

But there is the word "mouflon" (муфлон) in Russian too! It means the European wild sheep exactly. So, if a Russian translator sees this single word in French text, he won't translate it as a bighorn sheep ("snowy sheep" in the Russian variant).
Another question: how is the bighorn sheep called in French?

s shame we can distinguish the assembly of the crane ?????!!!! ....

Here is a comparison of the Oryx Papo first one made For me the Gembox Papo will be in my zoo,
I love the dress and the effect of paint coat.
The Mouflon on to
Caribou and to see up close, I love her legs and hooveby our talented Harriet

Ball in the center who's next??

Scientific name, English name and French name:
Ovis canadensis
Bighorn sheep
Mouflon Canadien

Ovis nivicola
Snow sheep
Mouflon des neiges

Ovis aries
Mouflon
Mouflon corse

Ovis dalli
Dall-s sheep
Mouflon de Dall



So in French it is a mouflon!

They really want to make next year effortless - they should've made new Alpine cow, not just a repaint on Simmental
