Everything Dinosaur team members recently announced what new Papo prehistoric animal models will be brought out in 2020. In total, six new models will be introduced next year, five dinosaurs: New Papo Dinosaur Models for 2020 and for us, the stand out figure from Papo for 2020, a replica of Megaloceros New Papo Megaloceros.
Papo Prehistoric Animal Models
Today, we publish details of those prehistoric animal figures that are being withdrawn. Being notified about retiring figures is important to collectors, with such a notice they can secure a model for their collection before they become too rare and difficult to obtain.
In 2020 Papo will retire the following:
- Green Stegosaurus
- Baby Pachycephalosaurus
- Original Feathered Velociraptor model
- Green Parasaurolophus

Papo Model Retirements
With the arrival of a new Stegosaurus colour variant it was always likely that the original, green Stegosaurus dinosaur model would go the same way as the Papo Allosaurus and be withdrawn from production. This is indeed the case, the Papo green Stegosaurus dinosaur model has been retired.

As Papo develops a number of colour variants, then the original figures are very likely to be retired shortly afterwards. The original Papo Parasaurolophus will be replaced by a new colour variant in 2020 and is already out of production.

The new Parasaurolophus has certainly got a striking colour scheme, but many model collectors and fans of Papo will miss the original version with its more muted colours and tones.
Papo Baby Pachycephalosaurus and the Feathered Velociraptor
The Papo Baby Pachycephalosaurus dinosaur model is also being retired and production of this model has already ceased. Readers of this blog might have suspected that this figure was under threat when Everything Dinosaur released news of the introduction of a new “bonehead”, a replica of Stygimoloch , which is likely to be available in the late summer/autumn of 2020.
In addition, the original feathered Velociraptor model, released in 2016 is also being retired. It too is being replaced by a new colour variant.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“We can now reveal which models are being retired from the Papo Les Dinosaures range. By releasing this information now, model collectors still have the chance to acquire these figures before they become subject to inflated prices as found on internet auction sites.”
Everything Dinosaur still has stocks of these figures available, they can be found here: Papo Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Figures.
