The PAPO 53018 mouflon walkaround by Kikimalou

Yes Roger... There is a Manurba touch in some PAPO

ah, i get it, the pose. i thought you were saying there was something in the style of modeling.

the more i see this fellow, the more i like him. he's got character.

As always an excellent walk-around Christophe

Thanks for the great photos Christophe, there's something about him I like but I won't be adding him to my collection, for one thing he's too big!

Same here.
Although mouflon is among my favorite animals, I don't like paintwork of this Papo figurine, and its size matters as well...
By the way, how big is this mouflon, Kiki?

Could you describe in your own words then, how large is it?

As far as I remembered, this model is large, with a too long body and everything is thick, thicker than on the SAFARI Ltd Bighorn, definitively not my taste

Oh, it's even larger than the BIGhorn... Thanx, Kiki, you saved me 5-6 euro I was thinking to spend on this mouflon.

It's so fantastic to know I avoid you collecting Kiryll

nice    

Thank you Ulinuk   

Thank you for the walkaround! I really like the fur texture on this one - reminds me of how reindeer and horse fur (and likely mouflon then as well) bunches up when it rains to better drip off the water.

The pose is very Papo with Manurba legs, proud figure but unelegant. Lineol legs are not possible anymore, it looks!

Sure they are. It's just a mater of investing in the right plastic. CollectA appears to have no trouble (well, aside from the few horses they released in inexplicably super-bendy plastic) putting out appropriately dainty-legged horses without issues with balance, bending or, apparently, child safety - I do so wish Safari & Papo took heed.

You are right but that's a risk, CollectA figures, even those from wild series, bend easily when played with or stored in boxes. However, as a collector, I enjoy that they can make delicate legs and thin horns.
I am positively surprised with the way they were able of making very thin legs in their gnu, the plastic feels hard enough and it has a pose full of action. Not an easy task to all other brands for sure.
