CRAZY CROCOS (BENELUX - COMPLETE SET OF 10)

It was subsequently released in Italy (1991, “L’Allegra Scuola dei Coccodritti”) and Europe-wide in 1993 (under the name “Crazy Crocos”).

DIE CRAZY CROCOS (GERMAN – 1 OF 10)
NOT to be confused with the “Crazy Crocos” listed above, which is the Italian and Benelux name for “Die Kroko-Schule”! Die Crazy Crocos is the German version of the “City Crocos” set listed at the top of this page. The difference between this set and the later Benelux “City Crocos” set is that the original German figurines just have “FERRERO” stamped on them, whereas the Benelux ones have “FERRERO 1992” plus a letter.
