I'm hankering after a decent Komodo Dragon figure but can't decide between the basic Safari, the Papo or the one in the Colorata Reptiles box  I know some of you guys collect other animal figures so does anyone have any of the above that they can post pictures of (internet seller pictures are so naff ......... why do they always use bad company catalogue images :  or recommend any others by other companies that are currently in production? I'm leaning towards the Papo at the minute although I'm slightly iffy about receiving a JP inspired Komodo ;D It does look detailed though and is quite cheap on the web. Thousand thanks. |

The Safari one loses out to the Colorata. I can't really speak to the quality of the Papo one.

If you like them BIG, then the Safari one is the one to go. Check out my Collections - 1/24 scale Prehistoric Mammals thread for a photo and size comparison to other figures.
To clarify - This is the BIG Safari one, part of their amazing animals collection. Its about 10 inches long.

This belongs in the "other collectibles" subforum... Unless you're talking about megalania that is ;D
I vote papo though. I love that figure.

Yes, if you are looking for a megalania then the thread is in the right place. If it is just the bog-standard komodo you are after then this thread belongs in the other collectibles thread.

(internet seller pictures are so naff ......... why do they always use bad company catalogue images  Because photographing each individual product is a pain in the butt. Take it from me. LoL. |

 I really love the Colorata's one. No pics of the Papo, sorry Blackdanter, because I don't buy it. I actually dislike the painting... I am waiting now for the Schleich an Bullyland komodos dwarvish megalanias. I will post pics asap. |

I'd have to say the best one that I've seen is the larger Safari version from their Incredible Creatures line.

Well, some of us don't mind. That's because some of us have skillz. Not me, obviously. I want to see the Papo Komodo in person, the one that Cordy recommends. Sadly, the only other Papo retailers in my area seem to focus on the lame fantasy figures. |

Yeah, wherever I can find mention of the Papo one it is praised some so, I'm getting it anyway ................... I don't know what they were thinking with their Dodo though |

I am waiting now for the Schleich an Bullyland komodos dwarvish megalanias. I will post pics asap. Thanks Christophe, It's a nice figure even though it's small! I came accross you on a general figure collecting forum which seemed like a nice place (but I can't find it again). Can you let me know what the forum was. Cheers |
