Papo Mini Sets (1 Viewer)

[Gideon]

Papo makes pretty awesome 3 + inch figures which they've now started to make in a smaller scale. They are not 1/32nd - they are just under 2 inches tall but they are quite nice. There is also a castle setup made to go with the series. They have a similar series for their horses and a barn + stable setup.

Here they are:

Knight Set Blue

Knight Set Red

Mini Castle

Mini Barn

Don't know if any of you might find these interesting but good to know whos making what.

Happy Holidays!

I saw those in the store the other day. I have a couple of their larger knights plus their deluxe samurai - they're pretty sweet looking for the price.

Shucks. You can never find the scale police when you need one. I picked up quite a few of the larger Papo & Schleich knights, for my son. But was disappointed that this trend was too large for my age-old 54mm knights. But now they seem to have undershot it. These sound like 40mm. Perhaps these Continental companys have chosen the Elastolin scale model.

There is a catalog pic (in the paper catalog) where you can see the forces of evil battling the forces of good. There are also a siege tower and orc catapult available, all 30mm scale. I thought you might be interested in them.

found a pic of the catapult as an example

I will have some of the tube sets in 2008 and I sell the Safari LTD Toobs as well.

Yes, the smaller scale has gone 40mm - Elastolin/Mertens.

It is frustrating that these great figures are not made in 1/32. As far as kids toys go, 1/32 is dying fast.

I'll be getting civil war figures in this scale too.

I think the reasoning behind the scale is more along the lines of kids projects rather than a series of figure to collect.

Army building basically without having to spend loads of money. Are the civil war figures from plastoy as well?

 

[Gideon]

I'm not sure of that. Safari LTD in the USA seems married to Plastoy so I'm not sure who in reality produces what.
