This is also a great model, though I wish the stripes were darker. He is a big fella though, compared to his buddies here.

The racoon is BIG, had he eat too much hamburgers? Very Happy

Safari racoon is a great figure, big indeed. Currently I have the standing up from Schleich that is nicer than is brother and the toob version of the wild Safari one. Northern racoon populations are really fat creatures and I believe Safari and Papo wanted to represent Northern specimens. Very Happy

It is a really nice model, I still love very much the Papo but I'm very tempted drunken

Saarloos, is Papo raccoon bigger than Schleich's, or just about the same size? Thanks.

Um I would say its bigger, but its closer in size than comparing schleich and safari.

I like the Safari model. These pictures by Paige are great. Thanks Paige!

My favorite is still the Papo. It is, no doubt, rotund. But very pleasing nevertheless.

Thanks Paige!

Glad the pictures could help everyone. Very Happy

I love the papo, he is a chubby little guy, but I like the painting and shape. However, for the common N.Am. raccoon, I think the safari represents them best, regardless of his size. I mean, look at his toes! Maybe bigger can be better in some regards for detail.

I agree Paige, bigger or smaller is a collector choice and all of them are too big beside these companies elephant models. Laughing

There is a lot of accurate details in Safari Ltd toys, too bad it is often hidden by the painting quality...
