I recently picked up some Papo models to use in my pulp gaming. I decided that I liked them and wanted to add some Triceratops to the collection. Unfortunately, they only had one version and I did not want to have the same pose. So, I turned to the Schleich line for their model. Both were available on Amazon and I had a gift card, so I ordered them both.
Both models arrived at the same time and I looked them over. The Papo version was a bit bigger, but that was fine for my purposes. The Papo has a base green and the Schleich a base tan. Both are semi hard plastic and very resilient.
The Schleich model had a lot of red trim to add color. It is an interesting look, but conflicted a little too much with the Papo version. So, out came the red paint and I hit all the larger scales with paint on the Papo model to get them to look a little more a like. That took care of that!
Both are nice models and will work fine on a Pulp or sci fi table! Especially, if you can get them with a free gift card!
