| I always love seeing your photos Shawn Something about the zebra's head is bugging me, I don't know what. I do like his body though, he'd make a nice customizing victim I'm sure. Thanks! |

| Wonderful photos, - as always I agree that the paintwork of the zebra is not something to cry hurray for The cheetahs are wonderful models, - but again the paintwork is not too good...the sculpturing is great, though, - as is the lean lion _________________ SUSANNE |

| Thank You, Shawn for sharing the pics and congrats to your additions!
These photos really helped me to decide which figures I will add to my collection. Again, the paintwork is -as usually- the weakest point of Mojo figures. From my point of view the zebra is not the top but acceptable, I like the lion but definitely not the cheetahs on steroids. These have the same boring monochromatic base-colour like the thylacine, the white tail tip can not change the cheap-looking impression. |

| In my opinion lion is close to perfection, I love Papo figures but their more impressive style doesn't mean they're better. Not too lean for my taste, actually, I don't like chubby lions although they ressemble those from zoos. In pictures of lions in the wild they are almost always very lean, often leaner than Mojo's version. I cannot say anything positive about cheetah painting, if I was from Mojo, I would prevent animals with complex pattern, as long as the factory cannot provide them with an acceptable quality. Sculpting of cheetahs is excelent and they are big but not too much, a cheetah average 90 cm high at shoulders, the average size is much closer to the maximum size than the minimum. So, adulte cheetahs are often large creatures. They're very slender what makes them average sized cats. 90 cm in 1:15 scale means 6 cm (almost 2 1/2 inches). I have the figure and I can warrant that it is not much taller. About zebra, it doesn't matter how good is the sculpting when painting is not realistic enough, though, the sculpt is clearly an improvement when compared with previous version. I'd love to see a comparison thread between the Mojo lion and the current Safari lion. |

| I think the zebra's head is too angular? I dunno, something about it bothers me too. Congrats, the size of the cheetahs surprised me too. I like them all though.

| Thank you for very nice walk around! They look nice on your beautiful diorama!! It's a pity that zebra is not nicely painted I think I like the lion the most _________________ Anna Horse and Bird studio - Horse sculptures My model horse collection

| Same here... zebra´s paintjob is not good at all for me. I like the sculp (mostly) but stripes are really bad :/ Cheetahs are real dissapointment for me Their paintjob is and they are little big for my taste... Lion is the king :) _________________ My webside / my collection / my youtube channel / my facebook / my instagram / my twitter
