I suspect it's not a real Papo figure... I mean, it doesn't looks, ehm, "right" compared with the other Paposaurs I mean... I HOPE it's not their new dinosaur figure, as Kuni mentioned it, why not a Dilo or a Cera??

Two tidbits to announce, straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak: 1.) This Oviraptor has not yet been officially announced by Papo - the nature of this leak, and how a certain French retailer apparently came into possession of these photos, is something of a mystery. 2.) There is very strong evidence to suggest that this is NOT the only new dinosaur Papo will be releasing. Buckle up, boyos.

I hope so much for another Papo dino this time... There is so many sauropods and ornithopods to realease!

I love it. Papo now has the coolest dino feet template out of ALL other manufacturers.

I pray for a Dilo, with or without frill...

This is a let-down as papo have been doing so well with accuracy(not counting their velociraptor). But, yes, it IS a nice figure. Will go well with my custom protoceratops once i make it. And i may get two. One to make correct and one to keep as a collectors item in twenty years or so when they go out of production.

They all have major problems, not just the velociraptor (the allosaurus seems to be fine though, if not a little too body-builder esque in the legs and feet). The trex, well, it's the JP rex, and that is what, only 65% true to the real animal? The papo spino-- Just look at that head.. The triceratops and those sausage legs... They are all very neat pieces though, just don't dislike this new oviraptor because the other papos are "so accurate"...

Don't forget that their Spinosaurus is also the JP version, and although admittedly little is known about the animal's anatomy is does contradict everything we do know...regarding the skull in particular. The jaws and teeth are all wrong. And it has the accursed two crests...
I should point out that I still love it! It's a great detailed figure, just not especially accurate.

I think we may be missing the most important detail and bright spot here. Like, don't like, it is still Papo's second non-dijp dino now. If this holds true, we may indeed be several nifty and new species recieve that fantastically detailed treatment. Marine reptiles, anyone?

I think a marine reptile by papo would be neat-- But, it would probably be a mosasaur, and it would probably end up looking like the primeval mosasaur (You know, with the rauisuchian head, all those little spikes...).

But.....I really really really love that primeval thing. It was coooooooollll. Not resembling any known mosasaur true, but cool. And perfect for Papo.

Really, where did I say such a thing? Untrue comments like this is why the Papo fans hate me! ;D I have never said anywhere that I hate everything Papo, so don't be spreading those lies now, ok ;D... unless you can back up your comment with facts.

Yeah--I'm the one that pretty much dislikes Papo across the board. I find them uninspiring and/or inaccurate, and this Chap Mei ripoff is not really helping.
