Introducing a Tyrannosaur Family Photograph
Amid speculation from palaeontologists as to whether members of the Tyrannosauroidea lived in family groups and perhaps hunted in packs, Papo, the figure and replica manufacturer from France, have introduced two models of juvenile tyrannosaurs to accompany the adults in the company’s “Les Dinosaures” model range. There are going to be two Papo baby dinosaur models.
Papo Baby Dinosaur Models
There are actually two baby T. rex models being released by Papo this year (expected with Everything Dinosaur in May). One of these is painted green, we think as a companion piece to the new running T. rex sculpt. The second, a dusky, brown coloured replica which works well with the new re-painted version of the original (dark green) T. rex replica. The two brown tyrannosaurs can be seen in the picture below – a sort of T. rex family “snapshot”. They are to be added to the Papo dinosaurs model range.

In our picture, the juvenile is looking up to the adult tyrannosaur, the detail on the models can be made out and these 2012 additions, keep up the excellent quality that can be found in the rest of the Papo model range. The two baby rexes are the same model (both have articulated jaws, just like the adult replicas), but they have been painted in different colours. Great to see another Papo T. rex figure.
To view the range of Papo “Les Dinosaures” prehistoric animal models available from Everything Dinosaur: Papo Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animal Figures.
The juvenile rexes, each measure approximately 11 centimetres in length and stand 9 centimetres tall.
We can only comment from our own perspective, but at Everything Dinosaur, we are passionate about prehistoric animal models too. We work closely with a lot of replica manufacturers and we do all we can to get models to customers quickly. For example, we meet up with senior management of manufacturers regularly and we are air freighting over to UK new Collecta models in order to ensure our customers are some of the first to get their hands on the new models – we try our best.
I desperately want this re-painted T-Rex. When is it available to buy online and in store? Please reply
Hi Robert,
We are expecting the new colour variant T. rex to be in stock in a few days. We will put one on reserve for you and drop you an email to let you know the models have arrived.
Thank you. What website will I order from? Will a few days go into by about Valentine’s Day or sometime next week?
I could be wrong, but I think that the idea of an apex carnivore living in family groups has to be rather questionable. I suspect that the idea may have originated with the Jurassic Park films and has little to do with the real life of these animals.
Fossilised groups of predators have been interpreted as a death assemblage due to poisoning or flash floods
I also would be very keen to know when the CollectA dinosaurs are due-in. Perhaps you would be good enough to drop me an email?
