Well, I guess this certain French retailer came into possession of more than just these photos. LOL! It's interesting that it has allegedly not yet been officially announced by Papo, but, it's now being sold! Hmmm? Here are the two pics of the actual released figure compared to the prototype catalog shot. Actual figure on left and catalog pic on right... Front view of actual figure... I like the finished retail figure overall, especially the darker shadings on the head and the red crest. But, I like the more unique striping on the prototype better. The stripes on the released figure are of a very typical pattern we've seen before. And, the ivory colored claws were also a nice change. Well, I'm still definitely getting him. Does anyone know the US release date yet? ;D

I do like the darker shading more, but it looks even more inappropriately reptilian than the prototype did. What's wrong with feathers, Papo? If Safari can do it...

Does anyone know the US release date yet? ;D What site was this one on? Another website? can you link it here? Tried to get the papo oviraptor on the first site. But then the price would be 29 euro's with sending costs rather expensive for such a small dinosaur no?

Still can't believe it's using the egg as a crutch...

I'll be getting one...I do like the finished figure much more. The detail stands out so much better than the softer tones of the proto pic. I figure Dan will be getting them in at some point, then I will order him. He is a Papo retailer..

Hmmm, I actually like the prototype colors much better, its more exciting and creative than the bland finished one I like the more unique look of the first one ;D

Since Papo doesn't say a word about what they will produce. I set my hopes high after the papoviraptor ;D. Hopefully there will be another release soon. ;D

Guys, I called directly Papo to know what about this figure. They told me this figure is already release since 1 week but with only one kind of shop. they leave the exclusivity of the Oviraptor to "Fnac, éveil & jeu" and you can find that on her website : www.eveiletjeux.com/Produit-144865/Oviraptor.htmClothe to me I don't have a shop "éveil & jeu" so I hope to find that quickly and post photos because I don't want to pay shipping fees if I can find one figure here.

Is it exclusive in the sentence of they are the first who will have it? Or are they the only ones who will have it. That would be a very strange step. But i recall it was the same story as the mammoth was. The mammoth was only for sale in one shop. So maybe this will be the same thing. Couple of months later the mammoth was here in the shops too. But i have mailed a couple of retailers here. Because i want the oviraptor. And i am going to get one too

It won't be exclusive because I checked Dan's website for anything new and it was there.
