Erm, the section about velociraptor feathers is in error  ;D The figure is still in production in a different paint scheme as part of Safari's "Dino Discoveries" line. Still no feathers though, mercifully ;D |

OH yeah! yes, you were completely right, we should always give an indication of the size of the figures. For example, I was shocked when I finally saw the 'Great Dinosaurs' Velociraptor by Safari - its huge! I was expecting something tiny based on pics I had seen and the size of other figures - I never took notice of the measurements.

*Reads comment by Emperordinobot* "They should stop now and stop making these dinosaurs. ... Their lack of originality and critical thinking has led them into the stupidest mistake one can make regarding dinosaur and other prehistoric beast modeling in the last 10 years."   *Takes sedative* *Sends Papo rex to eat him*  Papo must be avenged! |

*Wants to continue reply, but decides to do it when my head clears* Emperordinobot seems to forget that Papo is probably the best dinosaur line in the past 10 years, if not of all time. The wild success of Papo amongst the dinosaur collecting community is precisely the reason why Safari has decided to make the paint schemes of the dinos in their Carnegie line less cheesy and more realistic, why Schleich is in the process of resculpting practically every dinosaur in its catalogue, and why Bullyland is also seriously upgrading its quality. If Papo dinos were not produced I am almost certain that the other toy companies would stick to their outdated reconstructions. And how are the dinosaurs 'incorrect'? (Of course I may be the only one who thinks the velociraptor/deinonychus is correct as it stands, except for its hands and curved tail.) The pose of the Papo tyrannosaurus is copied directly from the last frame it appears in Jurassic Park. (And while we know that tyrannosaurs walked by balancing their heads with their tails held high, why would a tyrannosaur be on its feet the whole day? Perhaps it can have a seat for a while.) Nothing about the pachy, stegosaurus, triceratops, and spinosaurus seems egregiously anatomically incorrect, except the strange front teeth on the parasaurolophus's beak. And while the pteranodon is not supposed to have teeth, one can call it a ludodactylus, which is a similar crested pterosaur with teeth ;D *Reserves more comments for tomorrow* The Papo King is not amused |
