Your paintjobs are absolutely gorgeous, man!

And yeah, I'm familier with Papo. They do great statues, but they're not toys (At least, in my eyes).
At $30 a pop (in some cases) for a statue, they don't interest me. For that price, I need at least need to have basic joints. (Preferably a full range neck, opening mouth, balljoint shoulders for theropods +elbows for herbavors, knees and ankles, ratchet joint hips, and a bendy tail.)
I think technology has advanced a lot more than it was when the first two JP lines came out that the dinosaurs can have better range and support their own weight. Especially the quadropeds.

But good lord, your paint jobs are pure artwork.

@webz,
Amen, brother.
I was 13 when JP came out. When I first saw the raptors (once I got over how amazing they looked on their own merrits, my first reaction was "Ugh. They don't have feathers."
I never understood why they didn't use the Deinonychus, which, while smaller than the fictional JP Raptors with completely different heads, were much more compairable. Plus, they were actually found in north america, where Grant was looking for them.
It'd be easier to buy the raptors in JP actually being Deinonychus, than Velociraptor.
Also, glad to know that someone else has a realistic idea of velociraptor's proportions, and an equal appreciation for the power a dromae of that size had.
6 feet long is not the same thing as 6 feet tall, people!

The brachs were actually Giraffatitans? That's a new tidbit for me (So congratulations to you!). I must admit I'm not terribly familier with the titanosaurid branch of the sauropod family.
