Never thought that a dinosaur figure would make me gag while eating, not in an over-exaggerated "haha it's so ugly I'd puke" way, but a straight up "there's something genuinely disgusting about it that I cannot quite describe" way. Bizarre.
Papo's Allosaurus from back in the day was the figure that kicked off my dino collecting hobby... dear God they have fallen hard. That sculptor needs to be let go.
After seeing the promotional images I was really hoping that it would be better in hand. It's really a shame. Honestly, the way the textures on this figure change so much makes me think that this was some sort of sculpting practice that was somehow approved as an official figure. Thank you for reviewing this figure, Andy! I love your in-depth figure reviews!
Its so gross it kind of loops back around to being cool Idk im conflicted, as a scientifically accurate sculpt its bad but as a movie monster type dino it looks fine
Papo should stick to dragons. Edit: after getting a closer look at this thing, I'm amazed at the crudeness of the sculpt. It looks like something I would attempt. Even if they failed in accuracy, Papo has always had fine, technically nice sculpts. What happened?
@gothisaurus that's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Even if it's a different Sculptor than before, it should never have been approved for a release with quality so drastically different than what Papo is known for.
@@AtrociCollectorbro, you have to stop being complacent in mediocrity. Literally every time I see you in comments sections you're just saying some garbage "looks good" or defend it till no end. Seriously stop praising everything and set a bar of standards that isn't Literally 6ft below the minimum.
@@TyrannoKoenigsegg I’m js saying what I love about the figure. I’m not forcing y’all to like it. Plus what’s wrong w praising? At least I’m not the one being negative over pieces of plastic. Like the sculpt is literally well done and that guys js hating js cuz his reason is “iTs pApO”. Even if he doesn’t like the figure, there’s no denying that it has excellent scale detail
So sad to see something this putrid from Papo... It looks like some knockoff figure you'd buy at the dollar store. I genuinely do not understand how we can get perfect birds and sealife from their extant lines, and even the beautiful kronosaurus, and then.. this. I'm holding off some hope for the Einiosaurus.
@@SatanenPerkeleIf the dinosaur sculptor is making the marine figures now & the crappy fantasy guy is making the dinosaurs then who's making the fantasy work now? Because those recent dragons were much better than any of their latest dinosaurs on par with the new mosasaurus & kronosaurus!
i will never feel bad about the sculpting of my figures ever again. Thank you so much papo. when i saw the promo images i thought it wasnt that bad but up close its very ugly. The quills and fluff doesnt bother me but the texture of the arms, yellow throat patch and rest of body clash so much. I am not the best sculpture as I only started a few years ago but I am working on getting more comfortable with skin textures and fluff as I am mainly an illustrator.
Ik it isn’t accurate in the slightest but I have to say, I’m a sucker for designs like these. Ever since I was 6, I love adding quills to my dinosaur(mostly raptor) drawings. I js have a thing for quills positioned on the neck, arms, back and tail
@@MaxLuckhurstpersonally, idm it that much but I agree that if the figure is sculpted into a different position, it might look better. Another reason why I like this figure is cuz of the colour scheme. I really do love blues on my dinosaurs
@@AtrociCollectorRight? Its a pretty cool speculative dinosaur look given how strange and fantastic reptiles are now which we wouldn't know from their bones alone. But the head sculpt and exposed xenomorph ribcage bellow were totally unnecessary. Still think its otherwise cool though - I just wish its face didn't look so "erased"
I have papo Kronosaurus on my desk now, and I wonder, how Krono and this abomination can be from the same company :D. Btw. I like some ideas on this concavenator, for example this long beard thing, or feathery tail. But execution and other ideas take the whole thing down.
Wow it's kinda hard to watch how far Papo dinosaurs have fallen yikes. i have not bought a papo figure since the Pentaceratops and Gorgo, For me it started with that weirdly posed Giga where i was wondering what they were thinking and since then the only figures that have caught my eye were the Stygimoloch which i'm hoping goes on sale here, I don't really want to spend $20 on it, and the 2 new marine reptiles which i have yet to find.
If any of the Forum Dwellers ever complain about you not being "critical enough" I would show them this. How the mighty have fallen(but the Kronossaurus seems to hint at a rebound)
Haha I'd definitely steer them in this direction. Also I agree. It's tough to tell where they're heading with such beautiful marine reptiles but such rough Dinosaurs.
Yeesh. That is crusty. The Papo Protoceratops was at least the funny kind of bad. This Concavenator just feels very lazily done. It's unappealing and just plain bad.
Honestly, I don't find it that bad. The head doesn't look too bad to me, I like the neck and the general textures, although it certainly have some poorly made parts, and others are out of proportions. The end of the tail looks awful, but the gigeresque chest is totally weird and out of place.
Some of the Papo dinosaur figures I've seen were good, however, this figure is as poorly sculpted as the old Pyro dinosaur kits. Hopefully this is just a hiccup.🦖
Papo Concavenator is so Dino-hideous not as beautiful and cool as Star Ace Concavenator that i remember during that time. This figure completely look like an undead Concavenator attempt the chest design that look like rib cage, so disturbing 🤮. Papo Mosasaurus and Papo Kronosaurus look so beautiful and cool despite not scientific accurate, however this one is too ugly attempt the paint job 🎨🖌️ and attempt the sculpt, i definitely DO NOT WANT TO PICK UP this super hideous figure. This one is similar situation with ugly and horrific Papo Protoceratops ☹️.
Personally, I think that Papo should fire the designer who created this abomination, and raise the salary and assign more projects to the designer of the limited edition spinosaurus. It is never too late to discontinue a bad figure and release something good and better, (the strategy that Coca-Cola used with pepsi 😜) And for God's sake, let's see if they release a polacanthus and a protoceratops with new coloring, the figures look good, but those colors make them look unrealistic
This looks like an alien from avatar💀
Your not wrong lol If someone told me this was an alien figure I'd actually find it pretty interesting, but as a Concavenator??? Heck no!!
@@yvettezilla looks like a decomposeing ball of spaggeti that was left in a fridge
It looks like they were trying to sculpt an iguana, but mid way through they were like “oh crap i goofed up” and pasted dinosaur features on it

@@AtrociCollector delusional. I can't help ya.
I dont like being negative but my gosh, this thing is freaking hideous... Waiting for pnso to make a Concavenator
How did papo do so good on those recent dragons, then release... This?
I'm only liking this video out of my respect for you Andy lol
Thank you!!!!
This Papo Concavenator is the "special" cousin to the Star Ace version, kinda like what the pillow guy is to Tom Sellick.
"special" 😂

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
I'm buying it just so I can customize it and turn it into a Kaiju lol
I wanna see the guy who said:"Yeah, this is it!" 😂😂

Yeah but did you see the head sculpt?
It's the JPIII, it made quills on Dinosaurs way cooler than ever
@@govardhanposina17 agreed! That’s why majority of my raptor drawings have quills!!

It just lloks like they first wanted to make a Yutyrannus, but then put the humpback on it!
It's their Halloween version!

"What kind of textures do you want on it?"
"All of them."
Have to admit that I like the weird little dude; mine should arrive in a couple days.
Hahaha the "all of them" comment made me actually laugh out loud.
Looks like an Adventure Force figure. The ones that come with the vehicles.
Papo, its evolving, just backwards
And I thought their Baryonyx was an abomination...
The bary looks like a creation made by angels compared to this one 😂
This dinosaur looks like it belongs to the 2005 King Kong movie.. but somehow more grotesque
They need to contract another sculptor who actually knows how to do his work, or stick with our beloved Seo.
Who's seo?
@@p0lydaedalus The lord and savior behind all the Papo great models. And animals too!!
Concavenator , what have they done to you ?
Wow it's kinda hard to watch how far Papo dinosaurs have fallen yikes. i have not bought a papo figure since the Pentaceratops and Gorgo, For me it started with that weirdly posed Giga where i was wondering what they were thinking and since then the only figures that have caught my eye were the Stygimoloch which i'm hoping goes on sale here, I don't really want to spend $20 on it, and the 2 new marine reptiles which i have yet to find.

Seriously I love this and will be buying It.
Yeah, just buy the Hammond Collection one, at least that figure is worth your money and is more appealing.
Sadly, the Concavenator wasn't the same after it started taking crystal meth...
Oh my God. I almost died laughing at this.
read this is the Walking with dinosaurs narrators voice
I don´t undersand what they ment by making this one :))
It kinda looks like one of those bad cgi movie dinosaurs .
How do you get worse than the Giganotosaurus eww. It literally looks like a moldy orange.
That Giganotosaurus wasn't even a bad figure at all
@larzvanhellsing2048 it wasn't a bad design, but that tripod pose was horrific for such a nice-looking dino.
Yeesh. That is crusty. The Papo Protoceratops was at least the funny kind of bad. This Concavenator just feels very lazily done. It's unappealing and just plain bad.
That Style of a Concavenator makes me sad
Pretty sure Papo has multiple designers.
That's why I prefer PNSO
...what even is this figure?
It's looks like they made this as terrible as possible on purpose!
Honestly, I don't find it that bad. The head doesn't look too bad to me, I like the neck and the general textures, although it certainly have some poorly made parts, and others are out of proportions. The end of the tail looks awful, but the gigeresque chest is totally weird and out of place.

I rate 6.8/10
Cause much features and neck with body where arms so goofy ah
Well this is not the Schleich Acrocanthosaurus haha but man how weird looks this
It’s sad to see the decrease in papo’s quality in their prehistoric figures
Oh god!!!! Wtf is that!
"Mom can we have Schleich?"
"No honey we have Schleich at home."
Schleich at home:
🤣🤣🤣

Why not quit spending money to them, so they’re forced to make decent figures again.
No
my son........he has every disease.....
I wish papo remodel it so it would look cool 😎
Man papo needs to go back to doing jp styled dinosaurs
Uglyvenator
Remember when Papo actually made good Dinosaur figures? This is them now
Papp has fallen so far…

EW!🤢
it's upsetting to look at
Why does it have feathers . Allosaurs don't have feathers.
This is a very good dragon but not a good dinosaur 😂
Papo became Schleich.
It’s really ugly...the spaghettis on the tip tail!
Papo, you used to be cool.
