Mojo 2012 WOLVERINE

Hi! Few days ago our friend Roger Crocodile asked me to introduce on this forum next Mojo 2012 addition. I'm very happy to show here figure of one of my favorite animals- THE WOLVERINE Mysterious big member of weasel family from the far North. He is familiar with the snow and cold, very brave, quite aggressive but somehow I find him also cute (judging only from photos and movies )
I'm happy to see that Mojo decided to make a figure of such fascinating creature
Below are photos of this guy :

ohhh, I like him very much! :)

Me liiiike

Wonderful!!

A very good addition to the brand

I hope I will have one when Mojo will be available in France or at least in Europe

Another fantastic Mojo figure for 2012 to buy!!!
The first photo is beautiful,he has got really expression in it. Thank you for showing Ana!

A Beautiful Pieces!! Thanks Ana!!

Ahhhhh !!!! WOW

I LOVE him, I can`t wait to get this gorgeous model Yipppeeeee

Ha, ha, Christophe, - you may eventually end up having to buy from an on-line store

Ohh, I can`t get over it ! SO many wonderful models from our two new(er) brands !

And, honestly, I think that eventually the on-line market may grow as big as the toy stores. It is cheaper, the range is usually better, and they come un-packed and have never been handels by little, eager hands in a shop

I'm SO glad I didn't get the Schleich one now - thank you Roger

Thank you Anna for sharing this wonderful fantastic critter I love him

At last we'll have a wolverine figurine that is not chubby!

Me too, by the way.

Schleich wolverine 7/10; Mojo's one 10/10!!!!

And I have just bought Schleich wolverine...

i love it ..! and i hope to make a good pair with the schleich volverine which isn't so bad....we all are upset on schleich because the new releses ,...but...don,t forget than schleich have the best quality of figures( resine , painting ,scale ) ...so i suggest to forgive schleich this year and let hope for best the next one...

Wonderfull figure !!! In my wish list for 2012

Thanks Ana and Roger !

(Size near Schleich one ? )

Oh! wonderful thank you ana to Moyo images and so many good figures for this year. réjuit I already have in my collection and I see;
With regard to this attitude and great perspective images
Thank you!

Oh! The excelent model! =90% But... what about back legs - it,s some strange? (in compare with Schleich model?)

Hmmmm, it is hard to find pictures showing the legs of a wolverine. But I think Mojo´s is the most correct. They tend to stand on the lower part of the legs ( like in the left leg on the picture below), while the Schleich one has got a bit too large feet and too short lower leg

Great pictures, Christophe
How comes that I thought you would find such good examples ?

Isn`t the wolverine an amazing creature?
Being in the same family as the weasel, he can still walk on the whole foot ( I don`t know the word in English) like a bear, but still go on the paws only

PS I still like the one from Schleich, it is not THAT bad

I think the Mojo wolverine looks more realistic than Schleich...
I'll get him!

He is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's nice to see everybody like this wolverine. I like it too and I'm happy I could show You pictures of it :)
What I especially like in this model is face which is just right and looks like wolverine is looking at something. I also like coloration

what a gorgeous model! Mojo

the English word for walking on the whole foot is "plantigrade."

Thanks Ana for posting!
I confess some cepticism when I received the news about Mojo releasing a wolverine for 2012! How can such a young brand release a figure of a species that the most known brand released in the previous year and with such sensational result! Not because Schleich wolverine is excelent but because it was a unexpected choice of an unusual figure!
It is possible because Mojo team trusts in their abilities! Or it would result in a bad choice if it was not as good as it is. I confess I was only able to see how nice the figure was after painted and it was a real surprise. Some figures are hard to understand when not painted!
It is clearly a competent figure and I love it! We know that when a better figure is released it makes the previous look worst than they really are. But I have the Schleich wolverine and I'll keep it, it is not a bad figure, even if it is not as good as the Mojo.
Harriet, sorry, I haven't told you why you should wait some time to take a decision but I must respect the information that the brand sends to me. I'm glad you are happy as well I'm glad seeing the positive feedback the figure is receiving.
Magda, now you have the chance of owning 2 wolverines, I also have the Schleich as I told previously, the Playvisions and I hope someday to find the Bullyland walking one.
Miguel, I don't know the size but almost surely it will be a little smaller but fit with to make a pair with yours.
Alex, I'm very interested in knowing how do you know which brand has the best resin? Painting is a question of taste, don't you agree? And the best scale, that is easy, Schleich pulverised with all concepts of scale and all brands followed it, even Mojo. Best scale is from Britains what Schleich makes is a relative or ilusive scale that looks good but is completly wrong! The same for other modern brands!
Susanne, as Carolynn is saying, walking on the whole foot is plantingrade, it is the way bears and humans walk, touching with the sole in the ground. Cats and dogs, for example, walk in a digitigrade way, it means that they use their digits (toes) to walk or standing. There are also unguligrades, that walk on their nails, the most famous are sheep! Wolverines in fact are able to mix the 2 ways of locomotion, plantingrade and digitigrade and sometimes scientists call it half-plantigrade.

I also agree that this Mojo's Wolverine is better than that of the Schleich's counterpart. Definitely it's a must for me to have this.

Thanks for posting, Ana.

I agree with you, the fact of Mojo making the best wolverine don't mean that the other ones are not interesting figures! That's valide for Schleich, Bullyland and Playvisions!
