Mojo Fun 2014?

Yes, not wanting to exagerate how influent is our forum. Since this previous poll started, the diversity of animals has exploded.
The absolute winner, the sable antelope, almost ignored until that day, was released by three brands in a total of 4 figures.
The first modern Iberian lynx, as far as I know, was also influenced by that thread.
From the final top10 Mojo released 5: Sable antelope, sun bear, clouded leopard, gaur and honey badger.
CollectA released sable and river hog.
Bullyland the Asian black bear and Safari again the sable antelope. Papo and Schleich ... ZERO!!!
It is missing bongo, siamang and serval. I think some brands will continue with unusual species and those who won't, will feel pressured if feedback about their repetitive range is not positive.

No problem, since we expect bongo longer I wait ancore little for the rest of the list ........ A few Months ---------- Some Years

Looking at the 2013 Mojo top 10, Bullyland made a Wisent, a fallow deer and Papo a Gharial, a mouflon and even a gibbon (ok it is not exactly a siamang).
I agree it is not a big wave but it is not completely repetitive.

Yes, Bojan! At the end of 2014 releases, more than 50% of these species are released. Not bad!

These new figures are very, very nice, as usual.  
But... it seems there are a really few good news for me this year. Great part of the new releases are horses, dogs and farm animals which I don't collect, and some replacement (the Lion looks very good, I like it very much and I'll surely buy it, but it's a very common animal). My last year's wishlist was nearly twenty figures, but this year only Sun Bear and Lemur look really interesting to me for the moment, and there are only other seven figures to be revealed. Obviously I still have hope in the missing figures and I know I'll not be disappointed, but unfortunately in any case there will less number of figures I'll buy.    

Are there going to be any more releases this year?

There are quite a few left to reveal, though I don't know exactly how many. I'm guessing somewhere around 8-ish.

Roger say some time ago there will be 26(?) or am I wrong?

Unless I counted wrong, 19 have been announced, so there should be a few more left to see.

Prehistoric mammals, please.

No rehistoric animal next year from Mojo

Missing 1 farm animal, 5 wild animals and some people.
Diversity is not as excentric as last year but some great species still to be presented and in my opinion, general quality are very good even when we are talking about common animals. :)
Lions are good examples, mainly male, try to think how many lions were released last 20 years and how many of them are really good? If Mojo's is good as it looks we are probably presenting the born of a new reference on Toy Animal world.

Sounds like some great figures are still on the way. I'm going to guess the people will mostly be more western type figures, their two Indians and ranchers are a little lonely.    Can't wait to see what all the new figures are.
On another note, will all the figures be presented before Christmas? or before the new year starts?

5 wild animals   
hopefully they will be released before christmas     

I don't know if I can tell you but if I still have the correct list, there are six (rather 5.5 because one is as well a "half-Pre-Historic")

As long as back yard cat was presented today it is missing 5 wild animals being one of them "half prehistoric" The 6th is a group of human figures that is also "half new".
Human figures are the last being presented at 30th December.

mmmmmh, maybe a thylacine? a dodo bird?   

Crowned Crane, Secretary Bird, Komodo Dragon, Babirusa, Bongo, Caracal?   

 I would love to see a thylacine from Mojo. That would be a dream come true. Anyways, at this point, anything from Mojo will probably be a great figure and a must have.   I have to practice more on my patience....

Guys if the list should resuscitation me Ok!       
Instead, send a girl     

  

No Robert, no birds, no antelopes. :)
Joan, that is correct, the "half prehistoric" is actually a recently extinct mammal!
This one will be presented soon, 21th, not long and we will know all Mojo 2014 releases.
