New Papo Mammoth

[molarlion]

I meant to post this a while ago but i found the new Papo Woolly Mammoth at a local Ace Hardware store back in early december. It surprised me since the date I'm seeing everywhere says mid-2009 release.

I have seen other websites selling it early, but I have not seen it in any stores

Great find!

But what a rip-off, it's almost identical to the Schleich

[bokisaurus]

Nice to hear from you again Molarlion Ace Hardware sell toys,too? ;D Interesting, the figure is a lot bigger than I thought.
It reminds of... that mammoth from sesame street! ;D ;D ;D ;D Yah, very much like the Schleich mammoth and their old version is much, much better! How much is he going for?

Aaaannnnddd--one less figure to buy. I am so sick of mammoths. At least do a not-woolly mammoth. An Imperial or Colombian would be nice. Or better yet, a mastodon.

Being from Papo, i was expecting something better...

;D My sentiment exactly. We don't need another mammoth. There are so many early elephants and mastodonts to choose from. I personally would like to see a bigger figures of Platybelon, Amebelon, and Deinotherium and possibly moeitherium and gomphotherium ;D

The first Papo Mammoth is SOOOOO much better!

And i'd like too a Columbian Mammoth figure...Enough with the wooly ones (not that i don't like 'em,but i'd prefer more variety)...


By the way,there is something new about the new Papo dinosaurs? I'd LOVE to see a badass Ceratosaurus Nasicornis or a wicked Dilophosaurus Wetherilii made by them

Are you asking if there are other Papo dinos this year? Because as far as anyone knows, nope--just an annoying mammoth.

It's probable that they will release something, they save the big news for February.

*crosses fingers and hopes for a Papo mosasaur*

[sbell]

Judging from the website, which now has new stuff listed--that's all folks. One stupid mammoth.

[arioch]

I hope they will attempt to make a Brachiosaurus, or some sauropod based on JP, maybe Mamenchisaurus. There are several to choose.

My sentiments exactly...I mean I guess it's ok Mammoth...but I'm more into saurians.

Considering how early this thing came out you would think they have something else planned..maybe for Fall 09' though.

What else did the Ace Hardware have available ? I might have to check out my local ones...

Ummm...it looks...adequate...I expected more from papo.

Me too. Not only are we all sick of overcommon Whooly Mammoths invading the market, but Papo also had to replace an originally-posed Mammoth by an oh-so-common standing Mammoth.

If they meant doing someting new, they were wrong. They could have made a Cuvieronius or an Anancus for a change...
