| Hi, could anyone share some images of papo's baby croc/juvenile croc/spectacled camian/caiman juvenile from 2012 next to safari ltd's black caiman (I think it's just called a caiman) please?
Ideally including a photo from above...
Thank you. _________________ More pictures of my Collection... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ...Latest update 08/03/20 |

| Safari's caiman is not very popular around. It was @Holger that entered it at the Toy Animal Wiki. @Holger also just posted it as a caiman and respected the generic identification of the catalogue and Safaripedia. I changed it later to black caiman once the identification seemed consensual. I hope you are lucky and I really would love to see a comparison of these two. I only have a bootleg of the Papo crocaimantor. |

| Thanks you are a star, these are perfect. Ignoring the debate regarding Papo's intentions, I'd feel comfortable adding it to my collection after seeing these photos. I'm now at about 97% I think they would work nicely together on a shelf with my three larger Crocodillians. Thanks again, some decisions are easy and sometimes they are not so easy! _________________ More pictures of my Collection...

| Thanks Paige for these photo comparison. It really corroborates the idea that the Papo figure looks like a caiman. It is easier to find similarities between both models than differences. I also didn't know I liked so much the Safari figure. It is not a masterpiece but a very nice figure actually. I also don't know why Safari haven't targeted it to the species level once it seems obvious it is a black caiman. |

| You both are very welcome! I'm glad my collection and photos could help. :) To me, quality wise the papo model has more details (finer detailing on teeth etc. is nice). The safari figure is most welcome to my shelves as it's a nice figure too. My only real detraction is the teeth are painted poorly, they look a bit like dentures. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Yes! They remind me of the current schleich hyena's chompers! And the "baby croc" is reminiscent of a gecko, probably why I love the mould so much. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.
