PapoCrocodile Mutant

The figure is wonderfully detailed and realistic. I've never seen a mutant warrior crocodile but I have seen Nile and Saltwater crocs in zoos and this guy looks just like one or the other (albeit with armor and weapons).I'm a 65-year-old child when it comes to figurines, a lifelong lover of animals, and a huge sci-fi/fantasy fan and so when I went searching for new animal figures for my 3-year-old grandson and saw this among the Papo offerings, I had to have it.I'm delighted to say my grandson has inherited my love of animals and realistic figures (apparently it skipped a generation with his dad), but I thought that he might be too young for this line of fantasy animals. I introduced him to it with the mutant ape warrior figure and it's become one of his favorites. Crocodiles are among his favorite animals and so this was a natural. I bought this one as a Christmas present so I can't report on his reaction, but I'm confident it will be positive. I like it so much I'm buying one for myself!Both the war-hammer and the sword are removable and interchangeable. None of the armor is removable or moveable which was not unexpected, but I thought it worth noting here because it seems other customers have some unrealistic expectations, in general, of these figures.The figure is made of a hard and durable plastic that I'm sure will last a very long time of heavy play, but it will not bend. The limbs are not articulated and the stance the croc comes with is the only one you or your child will ever see. Again, this is perfectly fine by me, but these reviews are meant to be helpful and I've seen that some people are disappointed when they buy a Papo figure and they can't pose it in different positions. The weapons are flexible and they seem sturdy, but they've not been tested by me. They are relatively small and can easily be lost though. I would not give them to a child younger than my grandson. He might lose them but he's not going try and eat them and risk choking.This figure isn't priced at a bargain-basement level but in my opinion, it's quality creates value in excess of its cost. If you or the child in your life are anything like me and my grandson, I feel certain that you will not be disappointed.

The detail is amazing and the quality and design are great.

I'm not very fond of crocodiles and such myself but this toy seemed good so I bought it.Delivered at home (fast delivery!) I was amazed with it.Very high detail, especially the skin is very well done! The armor looks good too.Yet the weapons seem to be a bit less detailed, I also experienced this with some other papo figures.Uses his heavy tail to stand, he doesn't just fall over! his body is indeed a good mass of crocodile, heavy body feels good and durable in your hands.I say it's worth the price!

Great present! Very cool character.

This is a great, durable, imaginative figure.As another reviewer said, this one makes a "great bad guy"!The sculpt is great, he stands up well, and his paint is durable. Ours visits the sandbox, the bathtub, flies off the bunkbed, and so forth, and he still looks great.I'm not sure his weapons are supposed to be removable, but my kids have popped the weapons out of his hands. His fists have holes, allowing the weapons to slide in and out easily. My boys interchange the weapons between another Papo figure, the Tiger Man, and even some Schleich knights.

A well-made figurine, but be aware that it is not really well-suited for younger children -- the weapons are separate pieces, permanently affixed to the hands. As you can see in the photograph, the sword hilt is apt to break at the point where it exists the hand. This happened in about a month in my household, and that was probably longer than I should have expected.

The paint job and attention to detail is great. The original design is fun and my son loves to play with this and the others in this line.

Fun collectable. Of you are a fantasy gamer great for desk
