the Papo crocodile have definitely the better theeth, the Schleich's have round ones

But from my point of view inside the mouth, the one from Schleich is better:

alligator & caimans

the Papo one is titled as "baby crocodile" but I think it's more a caiman (besides the teeth), at the left side is the ols missisippi alligator from Schleich:

the body from the caiman down under:

looks somehow strange I think

the Schleich one looks more like a False gharial, so actually it must be under the crocodiles section

the one from Papo is definitely better, but the Schleich one is more than ten years older, I like both!

Feel free to post the other crocodiles, then I will edit the title

Excellent comparisons Bonobo with superb photos as well.

Thanks for this post.

Fantastic comparison, thank you!

Great comparisons ! Thankyou, Bonobo   

Great pictures Bonobo, very interisting info!  I also love the croc collection you have!  

Nice pics

Very good and detailed comparisons   They have both strengths and weaknesses.

Interesting topic!
Although you try to give some balance between both companies. My opinion is completely different and clearly Papo Nile crocodile and garhial don't have competitors of similar quality from Schleich. Obviously it is just my opinion and those from Papo are not superior in every single aspect but in most part of them.

Papo Croc is really great !!   
if there is articulation in the mouth
