CollectA 2011

I'm with you Christophe, the Papo rhino beats Schleich by miles (I love both models of course) but the Lineol is SO BEAUTIFUL, I wish I could have one

Schleich Rhino is Cute only!

Yeah, Schleich's rhino has wrong body proportions, but I don't like Papo's painting and strange-colored eyes.
Moreover, when I look at my Schleich rhino which is standing on the shelf in a full-front position, I can see his muzzle and don't see his body proportions And I like him this way, he lets me dream of Africa - as well as Papo lynx lets you dream of Taiga :)

I like Papo sculpting but I just don't get it - why did they made him so green...

You are right sir But it has nothing to do with a better quality

I think the colour is quite realistic, it's like he's dusty or has been in mud and it's now dried.

Rhinos have greenish color only in the last picture you posted but you can't persuade me that this picture wasn't photoshoped.

I like Papo sculpting too! The Schleich makes me think in a prehistoric hog, maybe because the large head and shape of the body too!
The Papo rhino has a dirty colour, like Schleich african elephants has a dusty colour too!:)

Robert, I don't photoshoped the last pics and that's maybe why it is so yellow .
The other rhinos are not exactly green but the Papo isn't exactly green too, it is more mastic coloured. I've got mine in hand right now and what I like in this colour is you feel this rhino is muddy or dusty. Rhinos from other brands are really clean rhinos, more zoo than wild.
And I chose the pics of dusty rhinos, not green... Sorry for my mistake

I never said you photoshoped it, you probably found it online. OK my mistake, I meant to write "greenish", not exactly green.
Nevertheless, I like the sculpt very much, I will work on getting it for myself

If you can buy them in areallife shop, you will be able to choose the less greenish and they are not so...

Nevertheless, real black rhinos are... red

...I,m agree with Christoph!!! Papo,s and Lineol,s rhinos are the BEST!!!

I think Lineol is not in this battle, anyway if the buffalo is absolutly fantastic this rhino doesn't look much better than the Papo! :)
