PAPO 2013!!!

What for a Website?

Why this guy put the special dragon of schleich like 2013 one is a special edition.
Congrats Arafan you go to have a lot :)
Thanks you Alex I can ask in my favorite local shop they has all the 2013 schleich since 20 th of december

Wow
Finally a Gibon ..... Papo thank you! (o)): (o)):
Oh year 2013 is remarkable, Gharial, Choutte Tiger, Giraffe, Bear ....
the bulls ... Fox!!!!
quickly peaks Gibon

Thanks for sharing arafan! We have a gibbon!

The gibbon I dont like so mutch but I hope it is in real better he looks like a little big but I must see him. I hope the Zoo sells them new Papo animals I have see on my last visit many animals

Oh Papo is making me happy this year. The Grizzly! The Gibbon! The Gharial! The Tiger! and I think the Fox and the Bull look potentially fantastic! Very very very happy.

(I also love that H&H can't seem to help leaking information...)

The longhorn bull looks promising. The old one was fine, but I do not really care for the huge chest and neck and the skinny body. Lots of longhorn bulls this year.

The new Papo models don't look to bad, i am curious to see them with one of you, with pics in real life!

Thanks Arafan! Will have to see some more pics of the gibbon(And how big it is). The Longhorn looks awesome!
Another of Papo's strength's is their bulls!!!!!! As far as dogs go, I would only collect dogs that are as close to AKC standard (Since that's what I am used too).
Check out dannyquest.com their dog sculptures are very nice!

I love the look of the dogs too!!

Bull, grizzly, tigress, gharial, fox and gibbon definitely

I have a quick question, why is Papo so secretive? It is 2013, and they still haven't officially released pics yet, the retailers haven't posted much etc, I don't get it.

I think it's the same story every year in Papo's case At least last year their new models were revealed relatively late.

But this year Papo have relased the new figures later

I know that they do this every year, I just wondered if there was a reason? Its annoying to me that they wait and wait and wait, I get waiting until the other companies are finished, so that there is no chance of copying ideas etc, but this?

The 2012 Papo mallard female duck is gorgeous !! Cristophe has one :)

Yes, can he show it for us? I really want to see pictures of it. On the catalogue picture the mallard duck looks very strange to me.

Alex, I kept meaning to post this. I'm sorry it took so long and hope it's still useful.

I wasn't terribly impressed with these when I first got them. But the more I look at them, the more I like them.

They appeared the same year, they cannot really be copies :)

Other than what we've seen, does anyone have a complete list of Wildlife and Farm series?

In Alvaro Planet even vintage figures are Schleich copies, this comment is repeated over several other brand topics!
Alvaro, Schleich is not the Big Bang of the Univers, only the Sun of your Planet, however, at night,, maybe you can see some more little stars and how beautiful they are.

It's not Álvaro's fault that Schleich models are the eternally ideal Platonic forms of animalhood. Even before there were any particular material instances, it is what all the other companies were striving to create.
