Recently I bought the new 2015 Schleich Cobra.
Not a bad snake! The tongue and fangs are a bit to big for my taste, but it doesn't bother me much!
Very nice paint job, love the hood and the scales.

As written in the title, I don't own the Papo cobra, so no comparison photos.
I do now, scroll a bit down for comparison photos.

It's actually pretty decent! Congrats, and thanks for the photos! If you wanted to make the tongue and fangs thinner you can take a nail tile to them an just repaint those areas. Very Happy

Thats pretty impressive. Thanks for sharing. I think schleich stepped up a little in quality for some of their figures, in my opinion, hopefully this continues.

Isn't it again a common cobra instead of a king cobra? I can see some pose similarities with Papo version and it seems they also made the same mistake with species identification. Though I need someone more knowledgeable with serpents to help here. Very Happy
The figure has an interesting level of detail and an interesting painting, the negative points are exactly some exagerated elements as you presented but that's almost a rule. If it is a common cobra like Papo is, I think I like best the Papo version. Though, if it is a king cobra I'll consider to add it to my wish list. Very Happy Thanks for pictures. Very Happy

Thanks for posting these pictures! I actually like the model more than I thought I would based on Schleich's pictures. However, it's true that the fangs and tongue are too big.

Roger, I'm not a snake expert, but you're right, the markings definitely make it a Common Cobra. And the Papo cobra is a common cobra as well. (Papo regularly mislabels animals; at least in English it does, maybe it doesn't in French.)

" So how do you distinguish the King from all the other Cobras? Well, the King is far larger than other cobras, while its hood is narrower and longer. The easiest way of identifying a King Cobra, is by it’s pair of large scales at the back of its head. These are unique to the King. The colors of King Cobras can vary depending on their geographic location. The Kings in China are usually dark brown or even black, banded with yellow, white or brown. The Kings in India are mostly olive green with yellow bands, while the Kings is Southeast Asia will usually be completely olive green or yellow-green."

assuming its a reliable source... I suppose it could be a variant

This Indian cobra is again a very nice surprise, better than expected and I would like to catch it with the Papo to make a meeting. I hope someone will Wink

Rogério I think you don't need an expert, you explained things perfectly Very Happy

The funny thing is the king cobra is not a true cobra (Naja genus).

Only now I checked Schleich website and they are very ambiguous. They use the genus name Naja that is used only for true cobras as Christophe said, thus no king cobras included. Though, in their description they talk about king cobras and spectacled cobras. scratch I can't open Schleich 2015 catalogue in my computer so I cannot see which name they use in their catalogue. Probably only cobra as in their website, thus a generic name.
I was really asking for an expert because the only difference is not the hood markings but there are other relevant differences as Laura explained and I wanted to know if these differences are coerent to a specific animal or if they are mixed in this figure. Everything points it to a Naja naja. :)

Roger,
what website did you look at that is calling this figure a King Cobra?
When I look at the new online catalogue from Schleich, the figure is simply labeled "Cobra".

HAHAHA!

I'm sure Batman has some Common Cobra repellent spray somewhere in his tool belt.
We can only hope it works on King Cobras as well...
...just in case. Laughing

This cobra was always presented here as King cobra, it was present even in the original tittle of this post. As I said, Schleich is calling it cobra and identifying it as a Naja so nothing wrong here. I only found the text in their website a little ambiguous once it makes reference to king cobras. It together with the misidentification as a king cobra on foruns was not helping to turn things clear. The text is not wrong, I can present a Nile crocodile making the reference that saltwater crocodiles are the largest of all and it doesn't mean that I am mixing species. It is already clear it is a common cobra, only some brain storming to help turning it clear to everyone. : including myself! Laughing

I can see now how this could be confusing.
First Schleich puts up a picture of a Cobra on their website, then adds the title:
"The King Cobra is the world's largest venomous snake,"
....and then continues to talk about Spectacled Cobras.  cyclops  cyclops
lol!

I love the head and size of the papo one much better, but I actually like the body of the Schleich better. Anyway, congrats on the Papo!

NightLioness: Thanks for walkaround and comparison photos, and congrats with getting both snakes. They are both sculpted and painted nicely as far as I can see. I already have the Schleich cobra and will order the cobra from Papo later on. It is interesting to have the same specie from different brands. Will you please show a picture of the two snakes, showing the pattern on their necks? Very Happy

Roger: Thanks for the pictures of the two real cobras, showing the difference between them. It is something new to learn every time I open this forum. study Very Happy
