No confirmed date yet, but given the past history of Papo's release schedule, I predict the first we will see of this figure will be in the Netherlands and Germany around April to June, crossing to this side of the Atlantic by around September.

Is Papo a German company then? Schleich, Bullyand - there seem to be plenty.

I'm hugely disappointed with Papo.
I thought that the Jurassic Park toys were even more accurate (I.E. Stegosaurus, even the raptors, as they had straight tails...)
But I gotta admit, in terms of color and detail, these are some of the best around. But...the pteranodon with the teeth is simply...unforgivable. Heck, the teeth on the 'dons aren't even that obvious on JP. I had to squint really hard to see them. It's simply a shame. And the Allosaurus' head seems heavier than what an Allosaurus would sport.
I'm still gonna get my hand on them, being the obsessive compulsive collector I am...

I'm hugely disappointed with Papo Shhh! keep it down, Papo's biggest fanboy is lurking around here somewhere ;D *waits for Piltdown to emerge from the shadows* I think the head is correctly proportioned in relation to the body. Perhaps but the legs are a bit too muscular and thats why the head appears a little small?

I had to squint to see them on the movie. Later on, I realized they were really there! But I mean, not even the official JP figure has them...
But these are still top notch sculptures with great coloring. Just imagine if their dinosaurs were more accurate.
I'm still gonna go after them when I see them. They're expensive, though.

10$ per small dino here. $20 for the bigger ones, like Stegosaurus, T.Rex...
Or is the store a swindler?
I'm going to keep checking...

I wouldn't recommend Toyosaurus.. I've seen their prices and they aren't exactly competitive.. Try TGFtoys or Dinosaur Farm? Both offer reasonable prices and their service, praiseworthy.. Healthstones isn't too bad too.. Although I haven't ordered from them in recent times and I believe someone here has mentioned that they no longer ship internationally.

I like the spikes - I little bit of artistic licence goes a long way if it is done whilst wearing a sensible hat. The fact is, the most animals look nothing like their skeletons, they have squishy bits here and processes there... I'm also all for models with parasites, broken spikes, and mud splatters.
