Did they save the best for last? All their figures so far a astounding and great, but some from their list (I know some have not made the cut for this year) are still missing... any guesses/hopes what they are anyone?

I only know that there will be a Proboscis Monkey and probably (perhaps) the Tamandua and Gaur, I know nothing of the other figures

hoping for the tamandua and gaur

Are more pictures coming today? I can't wait to see the gaur.

Is the proboscis for sure coming out? I haven't heard anything, or is that just a wish? I hope to see some pics today as well.

Gaur, gaur, gaur... Ok ok

But why not the gharial or the babirusa

Why not all of them Gaur, Tamandua and Barbirusa still missing them :)

James said that the Proboscis will be in the 2013 line, so it should be safe :)

I'd love to see a Babirussa, but I don't think that it will be released this year.

The proboscis monkey is coming for sure.
As I told, half of the figures of the FB preview list will not being launched in 2013. That's the bad thing of a preview. We have a wonderful line of figures being launched but we will always miss some animals like the secretary, bongo, babirusa, etc. The best is enjoying what is being launched and not to think in what is not.
I know some collectors that asked for some of this animals for more than 10 years and it was needed new brands to we start seeing some species on market.
I must say that there are also not listed animals that will be intoduced and one of them is being asked for ages and never introduced among this kind of brands.

Yes, of course, drop a bomb and now you won't tell anything more...

Is it possible that the babirusa will be released next year along with other missing figures?
If Mojo doesn't do it, it will be difficult to have another

And there's another scenario - if Mojo doesn't do it now, some other brand can see it's a wanted figure and it gets out before Mojo's

My guess (and hope) is that Mojo will continue to work on the other figures, and release them next year. For instance the emu that is released for this year was originally meant for 2012, but because Mr. Connolly was not satisfied with the figure, he held it back until he felt it was ready, and look at it now! It is practically perfection! So I don't think that we need to worry, I am sure Mojo Fun is working hard to produce these species that collectors have vied for such a long time. Although yes there is a possibility that another company may produce it first or at the same time...
And since you mentioned it, I can't wait for the Proboscis now!

I guess the best is still to post "why not? posts" until we know all the 2013 models.
There is so many good things to collect and my wallet is shorter and shorter so I think the problem is already to catch all my want list, more than crying about unmade ones

Will we have new models today?

Mojo is making me greedy. But seriously, even though I was extremely excited about the Bongo, I can wait a year or two. The figures they have already announced make 2013 an excited year and, as Christophe rightly points out, it is also already going to be an expensive year.

James told me that they where not expanding farm this year, but will concentrate more on farm life in 2014.

i suppose it's too much to hope they'll do more sheep so soon. The Mojo Ram is awesome.



this thread makes me laugh. we're all so

Are there any release pictures today? I am dying to see the rest of the pictures.

Is there any way we can consolidate all the pictures of the 2013 releases onto the first page? Perhaps even into the Original Post that laid out what Mojo planned to release? That would make for a really good reference of sorts. If it's not possible, I'll try to create a new forum topic that does just that (unless someone wants to beat me to it :) ).

I think Mojo is experiencing an absolutely normal growing pain that most of, if not all of, the other companies have experienced at one time or another. Mojo was excited to share with the consumers / fans their 2013 release list; however, as happens in all production, there were hiccups, and some of the releases got delayed. I can't say for certain that this has happened to Schleich, CollectA, or Papo, but it happens pretty much every year for Safari (i.e. Wild Safari Kudu, Brachiosaurus, and even this year, it appears, Bowhead Whale). I think sometimes that's why the companies are a little reluctant to announce their plans. Ultimately, until they have the lineup physically in hand, they aren't sure what figures they will be producing.

I'm sure James and everyone else associated with Mojo is a little disappointed that they weren't able to bring all their ideas to fuition this year. We've all been there before, it stings a little. I just hope that this doesn't dampen Mojo's enthusiasm for producing hard-to-do species and doing them right. I also hope that Mojo is able to continue to announce their plans for the upcoming year without hesitation or worry that the fans may be disappointed.

I think Mojo's doing some really innovative things, producing really high quailty replicas.

Chad, as soon as all figures are presented and lauching dates available, I'll open a topic with all Mojo 2013 releases to be used as an easy source of information like it was done last year.
You're completely right, if suddenly, any other brand, presented in their list of releases a sloth, stoat, pronghorn, proboscis monkey, mountain lion, tamandua, griffon, these prehistoric mammals, gentoo, emu, etc. We would think it was the best year of ever of this brand. It is hard to work with expectations. Not only brands need to learn to manage with it as we collectors also need to work our expectations to prevent that all brands turn in silent companies until the last minute like it happens with Papo, for example.
About new pictures I'm afraid we have to wait some more days. Those missing are the last group of releases and we need to wait for pictures.

I got an email from James today. He said that there should be pictures of the gaur and pronghorn this weekend. I have my fingers crossed.

At this point can we know at least the names of animals to be revealed?
There are Proboscis Monkey, Gaur, Proghorn, Tamandua and...?

As soon as someone is allowed to share you'll certainly know. It is not missing too much to we receive more news, I guess.
