Papo Carnotaurus Figure, 13cm

Carnotaurus is my favorite dinosaur, and when I saw this one from Papo, I had to pick him up. I already had the Tyrannosaurus, and I love it to death; this figure is just as great, if not better. I don't know a ton about dinosaur proportions, but being an art student, I'm VERY picky about a figure's detail before I buy it. The Carnotaurus has beautiful detailed scales all across its body, and every other aesthetic detail is fantastic. The teeth are well-defined, the tiny spikes and bull horns on the head are pointed and fearsome, and the puny little arms are laughably accurate. My only complaint is that I wish the stripes were as dark as in the stock photo; they are a bit faded. That's nothing to really complain about, though. Another thing that was more surprising was his size; I thought he would be much bigger, but it's a good size as it is and scales great with my Rex. I can't recommend this Meat-Eating Bull enough. He'll fit in great with any dinosaur collection!

This figure is a beautiful dinosaur! Despite being a little bit small, it has great detail and I love how the jaw opens and how the texture of the scales feel real. The horns have the appearance of age, as opposed to just white and shimmering. I love how it has the appearance of movement from all angles. I also love the paint job because it looks so realistic and life-like. I actually had a question if carnotaurus had three fingers or four fingers like the figure. I looked it up and found that it was correct so I learned something. Papo made a great carnotaurus that I will never forget.

I love Papo! They're my new favorite place to buy great dino figures for a decent price. They're probably in the top 5 best dino figures maybe even top 3. This carnotaurus figure is fantastic. I have a Spino and Carno from Nanmu, they're much more expensive and their teeth, claws, and eyes are much more detailed and even have a shiny clear coat on them. I prefer to buy from Papo from now on, they're a perfect balance of detailed and affordable

Solid Figure Papo is always the best when collecting. Don't waste your time on Scelich ever.

Well, well, well. Papo has stolen me from Schleich. This little guy is smaller than expected, which is somewhat disappointing. It's not nearly as large as many of the other little guys that I've purchased from Schleich, but who knows! Maybe it's just a smaller dinosaur, but it really shouldn't be the same size as a Dimetrodon. However, he makes up for his small size by appearing truly ferocious! His pose is quite energetic, like at any time he might run off the table chasing a lizard or something. It seems a lot more vulnerable to the elements and shocks. It also seems heavier, and I'm slightly concerned that I might scratch the paint. Meanwhile, you can toss a Schleich into a dryer and it'll come out fine. I'm not saying this isn't durable, because I haven't hurt it yet, but the quality seems to be more geared towards more gentle care. The detail on his legs seem poor quality. I really expected more. However, it made it up with his eyes and face, which seems to catch my attention every time I look near it. The more I look at it, the more impressed that I am. I'm not sure what I was looking for as far as his legs went, but the rest of him is top notch. I don't fully understand how it stands. According to logic, it should topple. Nevertheless, it's not bothered by logic and goes through just fine, but only on flat surfaces that don't move. It easily falls over if put anywhere else, so I'll leave four-legged animals to that and have him stand on tables and stuff like that. PS I named him Carl. Carl the Carnotaurus.

I love this little guy. And yes, he is little, smaller than I thought he'd be. He's a Papo product, so he's finely detailed and nicely painted. He's in a good pose for standing in my collection, but I'm not sure if a child playing with this will like the pose. His mouth does open and close, but it seems fairly fragile. Overall, he is a very nice figure.

It does look really cool , but very small compared to other models. I own the T-Rex, Spino and Velociraptor and this one looks tiny near them, the raptors is a little bit bigger. It does however do a very good job at standing on its own. and looks very well detailed. Edit up from 2 Stars initially to 4 Stars after re-thinking it.

Beautiful Sculpt and amazing paint work! The Feet were sculpted to give the sense of the predatory power of the animal. The skin sags in the right places and the rib cage is just visible under the skin to give a very realistic rendition. Eyes and mouth have to be seen to be believed. Amazing model that is well worth the price. The Carnotaurus and Allosaurus are the best dinosaur figures on the market in my opinion!
