I hate the look of this model. But oviraptor is horrendously ugly to start with, so I don't think that's entirely Papos faault.
I have the Papo velociraptor and I think it's not that great either. My guess is because they are smaller the details are severely compromised. I'm not sure why they bother making them smaller, it's not like they are scaled correctly (even by JP standards).

They should've put feathers on it. And made it less of a chap mei copy.

;D Identical you say? Only because both are Oviraptors and hold an egg? The egg is way smaller on Chap-mei and it's on the right hand, left on the Papo. Papo has two fangs and Chap-Mei is toothless. Crest of Chap_Mei is way bigger and different. They are NOT identical. Coincidence, I say. And no matter how many proofs or facts you present to support your theory, I already WON this fight. ;D Itches, uh? ;D

Er, not really, because you're being overly sarcastic There are far more similarities between these two than say the carnegie ichthyosaurus and invicta ichthyosaurus...

I really like the new Papo Oviraptor, i got it last week and he's very, very detailed... It kicks ass even if it's not feathered A lil' off topic, by the way... Today i started to customize my third Papo Rex and, guess what? Everyone who said that the tail of this model is short is TOTALLY WRONG... Heck, completely uncoiled is as long as Rexy's body and neck combined ;D

..... It still needs to be longer. rex had a long tail to counterbalance that big heavy body, and papo's just isn't quite long enough!
I saw the papo oviraptor in a toystore near me today (where I got my pachyrhino) and it is very nicely done. I love the head. I just hate that egg-crutch. If it weren't $15 and it were more like $8 (or around there) I would have picked it up. Same for the repaint raptor - it's good, just not good enough to justify $15 spent on it!

Sid, I'd like to watch your Rex modification, any pics around?

Sid, I'd like to watch your Rex modification, any pics around? Too bad i don't have a digital camera nor a scanner Oh well, as soon as i'll finish to customize him, i'll take a pair of pics with my (old, but still good) camera and then ask the guys at the photography studio if they can transfer the pics on a cd; i already did it several times and it should work To Cordy: T.rex didn't have a tail as long as other big theropods like Allosaurus and such; giant tyrannosaurids' tails in general, for what we know, were shorter and bulkier

I really wouldn't worry about the proportions of various body parts on the Papo rex - if one compares it to the real thing then everything's a bit (or very) wrong. [tedious disclaimer] It's still a nice figure! [/tedious disclaimer]

The papo T-rex makes a very fun figure and playing toy, but trying to justify it's inaccuracies is just being silly

The Papo T. rex would be flying off shelves if it weren't for that dreadful pose.
