I wasn't originally going to get this turtle; it was a last-minute decision when I bought the capuchin and guineafowl. Glad I did though; Papo really nailed this one!

It's much better than Safari's.

But is the Papo as large? The IC one was good for education purposes because of its size!

I don't know how big it is, I don't have it yet, but I'm assuming it's smaller. Yeah, the size of the figures in the IC line gives them an edge as educational tools but that Safari slider is not one of the strongest figures in the line.

True. The softshell is much better

It is. I don't wanna talk about it though. I'm still miffed that the one I bought on eBay turned out to be a bootleg. It came with a slider too, also a bootleg.  >:(

the slider is on my shelf and not handy for measurement but based on my pic, you should assume it's in the ~3 inch/7-8 cm range (total, not carapace).
