Papo - Animal figurine - Ice Wolf, Medieval Fantasy Frozen Mystery, Toy for Children from 3 Years - Hand-painted Ice Tales and Winter Adventures

When I was a child, I always wanted models of a lot of animals - real and, so far as we know, mythical - which just weren't available. It always vexed me that there was no Cerberus toy. I mean, all children want to build their own Underworld, right, and you can't have the Gates of Hell without Cerberus standing guard there... Or was I just a weird child? Maybe. Never mind.Point is, years after I gave up on the idea of ever finding a Cerberus model, I can now finally crawl happily about the floor attacking all those old Greek warrior figures with a giant three-headed dog.No, I'm not abnormal; much.The model is well-made and robust. It stands well without falling over. Well-detailed, especially the heads, down to very nice mouth-interiors, the body with a powerful, muscular appearance. The three heads are somewhat reminiscent of slightly-mutated and very angry mastiffs. The black/dark-brown colouration is suitably "hell-hound", eyes and teeth picked out well. The three red, silver-studded collars are a nice touch for Cerberus, as well as the manacle on the hind right leg trailing a short piece of broken chain. Obviously this is not a dog you can tie up somewhere and expect him to stay...

Ce Cerbère de la série Papo est très bien réalisé. De nombreux détails (dentition, yeux, poils du dos, chaîne au pied, ...) donnent une belle impression générale.Seul bémol, comme dans l'ensemble de la gamme Papo, l'équilibre des figurines est très mal étudié. Sur ce Cerbère, l'anneau de chaîne éclaté dépasse l'horizon de pose de la patte à laquelle il est rattaché, ce qui empêche de poser correctement la figurine.

It looks remarkably like Gandalf. It was fairly well executed. I wish the seller would actually put the figurines in a box for shipping, instead of just stuffing them inside cardboard envelopes. Amazingly, it did not arrive broken or bent!

Es justo lo que buscaba. Es pequeño, para traer en la mano y jugar con otros juegos
