Oryx (gemsbok): Papo or Schleich ?

To make my scimitar-horned oryx feel less alone, I decided to acquire a gemsbok.

Which model to choose? Papo's or Schleich's?
Papo's seems better sculpted to me, but Schleich's paintjob seems more realistic as far as I am concerned.
What a dilemma.

Which one do you prefer?

Yup, you hit the nail on the head. I like Papo's sculpt and posture better, too. But the Schleich has the more accurate paint job. Personally, I would vote for Schleich's overall!
