At Crisis I saw some crocodiles at Amazon's stand, they looked nice but a bit small. I know Black Tree Design has one. (in their fantasy armies, monster section).
I also believe that Crocodile Games (what's in a name) will release a crocodile miniature in a few months.

Bought me a Schleich Crocodile. It's a large one (must be at least 6m in 28mm-scale) and I'm going to use it as a prehistoric beast for Dinosaur Desaster, but as nile crocodiles can get really big and it's pulp not Expedition ins Tierreich we're talking about it might even be useful for darkest africa. It's not useable for the americas, though.

Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company made a nice crocodile to go with their Darkest Africa animals some years ago. I have one, its a nice piece, not sure if its still available like alot of their stuff. Its worth giving them a call. :?

If it is still of interest; Steve Barber also has two in his 25/28 mm animal range.

I repainted some croc figures out of a huge bag of plastic animals from the dollar store. They looked about as good as the prof's pic, but considering they were for a one time use, and they cost me about 2 cents a figure (if I was to use the whole pack of animals) it was worth it.

I know they are not crocadiles, but alligators are pretty close.  www.megaminis.com has a pack of alligators among its animals offerings.  The pack of apes might also be of interest to the Darkest Africa crowd here.

I bought some Visejaw Crocodiles from the D&D CMG Set 'Desert of Desolation'.  Shop around for singles and you can get a bargain.

I liked the Ral partha one also. you get a Crocodile, plus submerged crocodile detailed base (just the head floating on the water....waiting just waiting) the Hippo is like that too.

There is a beautiful plastic one that you can pick up cheap on ebay in the DnD range... it's even on a plastic base!  It's called Marshwater Croc or something like that.

And the Steve Barber croc already mentioned is also a beauty... I'm talking about the charging pose.
