Mojo 2015 releases

...Capybara!

Nice new horse Anna, it has a nice pose and character to it.

I did a quick Photoshop alteration of the Mojo elephant, I think it should look more like this.  Fixed ear shape, thinner trunk end, more sway backed, longer torso, fixed the head anatomy, fixed hind leg anatomy and the colour is closer to a real elephant, not a pale dead looking blueish grey.

The original sculpt looked in between a cow and a bull so I altered it to be more correct with a cow's head shape.

Can I use this pic in another forum?

Thank you!

Boring and extremly dissappointing Year for Mojo.

Excellent Photoshop magic!

Maybe one day can Mojo apply your fixes to their elephant...

I agree with most of you, not a bad capybara but it doesn't seem either an excellent capybara. I also agree that something doesn't look right with legs and that it looks a juvenile. :)
However, the most disappointing thing for me is that capy is not a very marketable figure but also already not anything very unusual in toy shape. We had recently Safari, CollectA and Eikoh even this last is not a direct competitor.
I hope it is not the "unusual species" for Mojo range in 2015, I'd easily suggest also a mara instead and I find maras much more appealing to kids than capybaras. I'll probably consider buying this one once when I had already the CollectA version, I wasn't able of resisting to Safari's.

Does any one knows the release dates here in the United States ?

Of the new items

It could be a mara, it could be a paca, it could be a agouti... there are so many interesting south-american roedents they could choose! Some are highly marketable, some lesser. I trully hope that Mojo presents a big surprise for Christmas.

Mojo Fun is going to release more figures in 2015, right? Anyone know for sure that they've still got something to reveal? (fingers crossed)

I hope so. I have to admit I'm a little disappointed this year as far as new releases go.

The only one I think is on par with any brand is the bull and lemur and Ana's two horses. The bears are good, the dinos aren't a wow from me, nor the hamster or capybara.

More news please. Next week is christmas and only 11 new figurines? Weak.

Soon we'll know! I suspect there are still more to come. Though, as I told before, I was not in touch with Mojo during all 2015 releases so I have no idea of the number of releases either. :)

Here comes one more new addition: a mouse.

I really like that one. Slightly weird color but nice.

I cannot say I don't like it. I'll even buy it, because it looks like an asian wild mice. But it is not the most exciting addition.

That is true, but we have to keep in mind they are still a young company and have to build their base of common animals still.

I agree except I'd replace the lemur with the Bear. I like Anna's horses, but have stopped collecting horses. I'm only planning on getting the Bull and Bear so far.

Whoops. Just saw the mouse.

Not sure what I think.

It'll really depend on how big it is. If it's very small, I'll get it.

You are right, but since their last additions were far from unanimously well-received, perhaps they should have presented a more exciting species.

It looks nice - only thing that bother me is the texture. Mojo's models almost always have way too rough looking surface in my opinion. But if I leave that it's such a nice mouse

Cute mouse. ^^
