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.

Safari's caiman is not very popular around. It was @Holger that entered it at the Toy Animal Wiki. study
@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% Laughing 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!

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. Wink

Laughing You are right, actually there is something schleichy in the Safari caiman. Short bodied, somewhat thick legs, thick teeth and big eyes. though, I am starting to like it. Very Happy The crazy gecko of Papo has a more refined sculpt indeed.

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.
