The Mojo fun Gentoo penguin :-)

The catalogue mentions STS Sussane. It is on the second page. I think it is great that James took the time to mention STS and point out specific members in it. :)

My catalogue doesn't mention STS on the 2nd or third page.

What a fantastic figure! I confess I had the opposite reaction from that of Philipp: I saw the first picture and before realizing it was not the Mojo model, but a real penguin, I was not overwhelmed. Then, when I saw the actual model, I was very impressed. I don't know what that says about me and my judgment, but I do love the Mojo Gentoo!

:lol:It says that we can`t make everyone happy
I think the picture  of the real one illustrates how well the model is made

If Mojo hadn't left out the white markings around the eyes, this penguin would be perfect.
Now it's just handsome.

Simone, I know eyeliner is very important for some women... it explains why Schleich pandas, tapirs, horses, etc. have a lot of eyeliner!  
In my opinion it makes the difference between being handsome or not but in a reversed way. You mean like the left or right one on picture below?  

Roger is right ( of course  )

I noticed tha lack of the eyeliner, too. 
But take a look at the one from CollectA, it is far too much.
Probably it is a question about too much or none, - it must be almost impossible to paint such a thin, thin line, and keep the cost down 

Yeah...
Too much of anything is bad for you.
Too little means ...
it is probably a money issue.

 OK, I confess, I gave up using eyeliner myself because I spend all my money with toys.

So that is why you don`t like to show your picture

I understand.
We all have to make choices in life.
And a croc has no other choice then to use waterproof make-up and that stuff can be really expensive.

Susanne, your catalogue is surely a special edition. I also received mine and it has thanks to STS members on 3rd page. Yourself included. I hope tomorrow to find some time to show what I received. sleep:

I am happy that I am not going blind

But hope to get the 3rd variation too, some day

Thank you for the photos, Susanne! 
How's the quality of the paint and the material? Like the sea animals from 2012 or different?

Thankyou for thankyou

The paint and quality are the same

Congrats Susanne!!!

Thank you, Susanne. Hopefully they'll be available soon!

I will quote from my copy of the catalogue, so that you all can see what it says.

Quoting the Catalogue:
" Our Thanks!

As ever, a large part of our product range is driven by our ability to listen to peoples comments and react. 2013 saw two projects made with the collaboration of STS forum members. For the Two Toed Sloth model we would like to thank everyone on the forum for their time and effort. The Clouded Leopard model was made with the help and assistance of STS members Rogerio, Harriet, Robert, and Susanne, as ever their support and dedication made the process a pleasure.

Also we want to thank the many people on our Facebook page who participated in the vote which resulted in the selection of many of this year's models.

Finally, a huge thank you to Anna for her work on the Quagga, Honey Badgers, Brazilian Tapir and the magnificent Gaur Bull."

This is what my catalogue said. I think that it is great that Mr. Connoly took the time to mention STS and point out individuals for their astounding work. I can not wait for what this year will bring. :D:cheers:
