Arabian mare in foal (repainted) and other horses by Anna

Your repaint is so wonderful! I love fleabitten greys and it looks especially nice on this mare. She looks so nice in grey next to her sisters! I wish Mojo would make her even in a simple grey like the Schleich and Safari mares. I wonder why Mojo stopped doing two color options for new horses? I guess CollectA stopped as well, come to think of it.

I am glad Mojo improved the paintwork on her. The new color looks more natural. I notice the Arabian Stallion and Suffolk Punch foal also have updates. Hooray! I have been waiting to add these to my collection.

Thank you, I'm happy you like her new colour and how they look together

Good sunday evening,
in June, I got a parcel with four beautiful Mojo horses, during summer I took some photos of them, now I'm finally able to share them.


I bought 2015 Tinker mare and 2016 Tinker yearling probably thanks to walkaround by @SUSANNE.
They're really lovely, maybe the best Little Bits Tinkers for me.

I like the movements. Trotting molds are my favourites, and this mare has very nice trot. And I love how the filly is following her mother in full speed.

Their heads are really beautiful.

They don't need the eyewhites...

...to have realistic and vital expression.  


Especially the mare's eyes are full of expression:


Mine are original colour versions, there should be some differences in spots from 2017. The Mare is made of hard plastic, the youngster's material is softer, and also bit glossy, but not so soft as new material of 2017 figurines I guess.

Together with tinkers, there were two 2017 horses in the package:
adorable welsh pony gelding


He is very well sculpted, with lot of details...

..with nice arched neck and fine, slightly dished head.

I really like this shade of palomino, but paintwork could be better around mane and tail, and the white dots representing dapples are kinda disturbing. He is made of new very soft material, which has problems to hold the paintwork. It's like a scratchcard - you can peel the colour from model very easily, just by finger belly.
So you have to be very careful.

His head is really nice.



And a comparison with some other ponies..he is lighter than the Schleich riding pony but more robust than the Dartmoor pony by CollectA. He fits to them very well with his size.


The last horse is one I fell love with immediately after I saw first promo photo:
2017 Shire gelding.

Anna did amazing job as the sculptor of this magnificent model. And I'm so happy he has braided mane.
His neck and head is marvelous, full of details:

...wrinkles, well defined muscles giving him powerfull look...

...typical subconvex profile of a Shire horse...

...his eyes have vital very calm expression of a "gentle giant".

His colour is also nice, compared to OF orange with no shading of Arabian mare in foal, this is such a progress. But same as the welsh pony, the Shire is made of "scratchcard" material. He allready had some small rubs here and there when I unpacked him, and they became bigger very easily...Luckily, no rub was on the "show" side, and I will show him next Saturday. I hope his debut will turn out well.


I would like to thank @Ana for great work she did for Mojo and I'm curious what horses we will see in 2018.
(I'm desperately hoping for some stunning dressage warmblood).

These Mojö horses are really beautiful figures and your pictures give them justice. I think they are so good that it turns the manufacturing issues even more disapointing. I hope Mojö can fix it as soon as possible. These sculpts deserve it. Your comments are also very interesting, I always learn something new with them. Good luck on Saturday!

Thank you very much, Roger. I'm happy you learn something new with my comments! I agree that these amazing sculpts seriously deserve solving the material issues. If the material was better, without colour peeling off, I'm sure the Shire horse could slay the competition and beat even some Breyers. But now he is more toyhorse instead of modelhorse. What is dissapointing not only for model show hobbyists, but for many other collectors. I really hope Mojö fix that for next models. It seems to me they listen to feedback from customers and that they put attention to it... At least, he is still perfect body for amazing customs. I wonder if handpainted repaint will also peel off...

Very nice !

What a gorgeous flock of horses, congratulations! And such wonderful outdoor photos Thank you very much for sharing!!

Thank you very much @Dum_my and @Tarunyada!

Good evening,
I fell in love with Anna's sculpts after Tinkers, Shire and Welsh pony arrived and I would like to have more of them. But they're not very easy to get, definitely in Czechia and even MPV hadn't them for a long while. So I asked Yvette to order for me a horse, that really caught my eye - the grazing Fjord mare - from spielzeug guenstig.


I really like grazing molds, though they're sometimes hard to photograph. It is my first Fjord, I'm always happy to add a new breed to the herd. I like the pose, really expresses the calm of relaxed horse in pastures.

Her udder is quite developed, maybe she just weaned a foal? I was thinking she could make a nice family together with Fjord stallion and foal by CollectA.
When I look at her head, it reminds of Quarter horse and Andalusian stallion, while the new Shire horse and other newer horses has individual characteristics in their faces, so it's visible Anna made progress in her sculpting. The horses revealed for 2018 have proved it, looking forward to add them as well.

Beautiful pictures of a figure that I love and own. I agree Anna has progressed even if I think that Fjord is wonderful. 2018 trio for Mojö is certainly among the best horses of all major brands for the next year. Please don't forget the Brumbies of Southlands Replicas, they look really amazing.

I agree with you in all parts of your comment - the Fjord is wonderful (and later horses are even more) and the three new molds for 2018 are definitely among the best model horses, and yes the Brumbies look also amazing!

Mojo horses are charming! But I agree with you: it is very hard find them

That mare is indeed one of the most lovely horse models AT ALL

Thankyou for the lovely photos, - and hurrayy for the always incredibly helpful Yvette

Thank you Songbird and Susanne, Mojo horses are definitely very charming and the Fjord is really lovely.
Yvette is absolutely helpful, I have lot of amazing and rare models thanks to her

Congrats

I'm so happy to see you're enjoying these models Thank you so much for your good words about them!

I love photos of Fjord, she looks right in place in this grass

I've heard about plans for improving the material of Shire horse model for next year. I hope they will fix the problem with paint and bending legs.

Thank you, Andreas! @widukind
And thank you Anna @Ana for your comment, I really love your work, I'm happy Mojo hired you and it is very nice that I can say it to you via STS. You and Brigitte Eberl are my favourite equine artists, cause horses from both of you do have souls for me, they're more than perfectly captured replicas.
Nice to hear that they're gonna to improve the material. They wrote on their facebook page that new horses would not be made of bendable material. I'm really looking forward to get the Friesian gelding and KWPN.
And luckily legs of my Shire horse are not bent and he has no rubs on display side. He won draft class in other brands division on his first show and became 3rd in other brands

Very nice again
