Mojo 2013 Linnes' two-toed sloth in Portugal! :D

I am very honoured of presenting a historical moment of toy animal collecting! The Mojö Linnaeus' two-toed sloth is the first sloth of all major brands and the first figure I know that was developed and discussed online with a collector's community! The STS-Forum!
It arrived as a gift with Mojo catalogues and the magnificent griffon vulture and lovely giant panda. Now I am in complete love with that figure and hoping that someone makes a walk around of it with decent pictures.
Again my big thanks to James and Mojo team and also to all STS members that participated on the development of this figure giving their best!

Wow Roger, congratulations  
And many thanks for the pictures    

WOW.  I have to say it, I am a little jealous of you now!  Great gift from a great person to a great person made in cooperation with the great people of a great forum!   (if that isn't a little confusing  ) Fantastic figure Roger!

congrats

I did not think buy this sloth, but with your photos,

I now think different, nice figure.

I love it and congrats:cheers:       

It seems 2013 is a Historical year in the Animal toys story and I would love to live near a Croc in Portugal for a few days  

It is a beautiful model, full of realism and full of charm, one of the icone of 2013 and one of the modern toy summit. I sought after a lot for the HAUSSER sloth, I will do the same for the MÖJO one.

Rogério, you are so cruel...   Thank you for the pics

I collect sloth  I collect sloth I collect sloth I collect sloth I collect sloth

Oh, that's a STSforum members creation    
Thank you very much Roger, I love this model as another... 12 (!) of 2013 Mojo line!

Thanks Bryan, Paige, T4, Fernando, Florian, Christophe, Susanne, Jean_Luc, Andreas, Philipp and Joan!
Your enthusiasm is the best prise you could give me. When James accepted the challenge of discussing the development of a figure online with our community it was a big joy once I think it is a very interesting experience to many collectors. Sloths are not spectacular animals as antelopes or big cats and hard to make in toy shape. It is not a coincidence that no other major brand released a sloth before. Actually these creatures are very well known, I can say that almost all Portuguese children know what is a sloth and I think it also happens in other countries, I suppose.
I think the figure is very realistic, very detailed, fantastic fur, claws, face and a lot of character. Of course it was only possible due to talented Mojo workers but I think we can also feel proud of our contribution!
James is so happy with our cooperation that is already projecting another figure to be discussed.... actually a Lumbricus terrestris also known as love earthworm! I am kidding but I am happy anyway.

Oh, Roger You are so lucky to have this one!!! It's great figure of lovely species and sloths are really rare among toy brands, this one is superb. Congratulations for having this wonderful newcomer!
Of course I want one or two too

Sloths are a creature often used as a reference.. It was then about time it was made.

Nevertheless he looks wonderful, like a sloth is :)

Isn't he great!  

Oh my, I am so so jealous! That is a wonderful wonderful figure and I can hardly wait to get my greedy sweaty hands on it. Great pictures Roger! Thank you so much for posting them!

I'm sure it will be a fantastic topic and no doubt this earthworm model will have a lot of charm and personality  

Congrats Roger!!!

He sure is a handsome sloth! Thank you for sharing these, Congrats!

      

Oh. WOW!

What an amazing looking figurine of a two-toed sloth! Look at him! He almost looks real. YUP. I am SO buying this sculpture. Just perfect!  

Congratulations indeed, Roger, and thank you for sharing with us as always!

Thanks Ana, Carola, Harriet, Scott, Ken, Kelsey and Gulo gulo! Your comments are precious for me!

Two? Are you thinking in customizing one of them in a Hoffmann's two-toed sloth?

That's not a weird thing at all, last AAA releases, that among others also have a sloth and a proboscis monkey, surprised me completely when I saw that they also released a earthworm!
