Picking Out a Papo Allosaurus for a Customer
The original Papo Allosaurus dinosaur model, a staple of the Papo “Les Dinosaures” model range, has been withdrawn from production and retired. However, Everything Dinosaur still has stock of this popular theropod figure and a customer from Canada emailed us asking for more information about this particular Papo model and wanted to see some photographs of an Allosaurus prior to making a purchase.
Naturally, our dedicated, enthusiastic team members were happy to oblige.

Papo Allosaurus New Colour Variant
With the announcement that the original Allosaurus was being withdrawn, the French manufacturer was quick to introduce a replacement, a new colour version of this Late Jurassic, carnivorous dinosaur. This new figure is based on the same sculpt and it too has an articulated jaw, just like the original figure, but the colour scheme has been changed.

Commenting on the response to the Canadian customer’s request a spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur stated:
“We get a lot of prehistoric animal model collectors asking us about models that have been recently retired. We try our best to carry stock of as many different models and figures as possible. If a customer requests a photograph of a figure prior to purchase, then we are happy to do this for them. We select a model, take the photographs and email them over to the customer, if they are happy with the model, then we set it aside and when the order is placed we send out the figure.”
