Review on πŸ¦– Papo Spinosaurus Dinosaur Figure - Innovative SEO-friendly Product Name by Danny Poulin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's beautiful, but it has some flaws.

I've always wanted this figurine since I was about 9 years old when I saw it on the hobby lobby shelf. It was 7 years ago. Now I finally have it and can enjoy how awesome it really is. The figure is mostly gray with a slight black tint to highlight the scales and bring out fine details such as texture or folds in the skin and sail. The sail has a slightly iridescent design and the yellow, red and blue colors are faintly visible on the sides of the sail. The pose is comfortable, not boring and not overdone. I like how the head is lower and the tail is higher since the dinosaur is in a semi-reclined position. The nails are beautifully colored and the eyes are light green and moist-looking, as does the mouth. The sculpture is well made and resembles Spino from JP3. But I've had this toy for about 2 months now and I've found it to be brittle and the paint seems to be scratched in places like the top of the sail, tip of the tail, nose and claws. He fell off my closet because he was hit. And I noticed that he was missing color on his hand that almost touched the ground. As if the hand is painted dark gray but then stops at the wrist and is almost whitish brown. It's probably only on my copy, but it's still a bit odd when I looked more closely, some other areas didn't seem to have a light black fill like other areas. It's not very noticeable so I wasn't concerned. This is an amazing figurine that both collectors and children will love. And if you don't like JP3 or his Spino who killed the Treks, you can always repeat the fight between them and take revenge on poor Rex by making your Papo Rex kill the Papo Spino! I still highly recommend Papo Dinosaurs, they may not be scientifically accurate but the numbers still look amazing and if you like the Hollywood depiction of dinosaurs then these numbers are for you.

Pros
  • GREAT DETAILS. This figurine is hand painted with amazing detail, realistic, educational and fun. This action figure is suitable for a wide range of interests including collectors, teachers and children. Another feature of this character is the thoroughness in the details and in the poses, giving the impression that the characters are animated.
Cons
  • Lots of Stuff
