| Running T-Rex from Papo |
The Running T-Rex miniature creature from Papo is a Giant biped carnivore from the Tyrannosaurus Rex species. It is the third version of the Running T-Rex models from Papo. It is pre-painted in a yellow and purple colour, that's called "Rainbow colour" by the collectors.
The model has three different versions.
v1: Brown Running T-Rex (2012)
Has stability problems due to its posture.
v2: Green Running T-Rex (2012-2017-)
Green repaint of the Brown version. Has stability problems due to its posture.
v3: Running T-Rex (2016-)
Altered model, with a rainbow repaint. More upright, 14cm high. It's more stable, as it doesn't lean to the right as the previous versions.

Review - Running T-Rex from Papo
The miniature is hand painted. It can be washed, the paintjob won't come off, unless you scrub it very hard.
The model is solid, but it has one point of articulation, the jaws move, so you can open the mouth to reveal a very nice, detailed inside.
The solid material of the model doesn't allow it to be reposed or reshaped with the help of heating it, even if you use boiling water. Panther10 recommends the extreme dry heat of a heat gun (or a powerful hair dryer) if you really want to repose it.

Size comparison photos - Running T-Rex from Papo
As I do not have the Rainbow coloured Running T-Rex miniature, I used my copy of the Green Running T-Rex, as the two models are pretty similar.
My comparison photos are made with a recast by Unikatoy. These are done for size and pose comparison purposes only, do not judge the quality of the Papo original by these photos.
