Have any of you ever seen the Papo fantasy figure line? They aren't
true action figures I admit. But the four animal figures, Tiger man,
Crocodile man, Lion man and Rhino man are just awesome. I own the Rhino
and Lion figures and I just ordered the Tiger and Crocodile figures a
few minutes ago. The deal is very god as is the paint. I saw the two I
own in an educational toy store. I even got them on sale for $6. They
can be seen here:

Not quite $6 but not bad at $10.

I've collected Papo, Schleich and Safari Ltd. fantasy toys for some
time now. I've come to find these un-licensed fantasy toys to be more
appealing than the licensed stuff the big toy companies are churning
out. Over the past two years, Papo has greatly improved their
sculpting and paints and have given us amazing detail. Their dinosaur
line really raised the bar and are some of the best dinosaur figures
on the market. The same goes for their fantasy line.

I think you'll be especially pleased with the crocodile man, which is
probably the best of the four "animal man" figures they've produced so
far. And if you like fantasy figs, be sure to check out Papo's two
headed dragon, which comes in green or red. IMHO, this dragon is
better than about 95% of what McFarlane toys whipped out in their
Dragons line.

Frogdog has left the building.

Those are very cool!

I'm digging the skeleton with the sword... Jason and the Argonauts,
anyone? ;-)

Thanks for the info and the link!

I'm with you, f'dog. The more I see of the mass market, licensed
stuff, the more turned off I become.

The only thing that's holding my interest in Mattel's Infinite Heroes,
but if they go up in price again, I'm out. OTOH, Target is clearancing
the 3 packs for around $11.

Now, where do I find a Jason and some Argonauts?
