My Marabou Stork is like a Drunk man in a suit ! He keeps falling !! ( top heavy figure needs some tweaking so he stands ) the Pelican is a good surprise even if the legs are thick ! Its a nice sculpt ! and I love Pelicans !!  I immediately became fond of the Puma, nice stance and since i didnt have any Pumas , Im glad I got this one . The Mojo Hyena is greeting Papo Puma into Jamie's World !!

Congrats :)

It is a great Papo year and that is still missing some figures like the outstanding upstanding tiger.
You mean the flamingo, isn't it? I think Papo did a great work with the pink bird indeed. My marabou is not drunken, it stands perfectly, sometimes it is a question of being lucky or not when we get them, it also dependes of the quality of the wine.

Congrats and thanks for the photos!

Your Welcome Donny and Thanks, I havent made good pics just posted those from phone , the Australian Shepard Dog is fantastic and the Polar Wolf .. the fox is good ! The Puma is much better than the catalog and the Flamingo is a classic sculpt from Beak to body above legs.

Yes the Flamingo !! I am missing the Schleich Flamingo now !! have the safari , collectA n Papo ! the flock is growing

yes

  Yes but the Marabou Stork will warp in time since it is a front heavy figure al stress on its poor thin legs. I have done the Surgery of hot and cold on legs and it stands straight just like a Butler in a hotel   .. but with time ... the wine is strong Roger !!

Marabou Stork looks like a Butler now , standing straight after surgery !! the size scale with older Schleich Pelican and Mojo Bear and Schleich Stork.. the Polar Fox looks happy in the company of birds.

the size comparison for the new birds by Papo with the Mojo Lynx for comparison , they are both big figures.

Papo lil gem from 2015 looking at Big Joe Mojo Bear !! Just having some fun with some of these pics since my babies are out for photographs !!

How delightful to see how your new critters are doing  

It is almost like paying y'all a visit

My Marabou also drank some strong stuff, it seems, - what did you do to make your sober up ?

So far the sweet TipToi donkey helps him. Perhaps I should call her Maradonkey

Big tight Hug to ya Susanne !! I put Marabou Stork ( Reminds me always of Irwine Welsh crazy but cult classic novel Marabou Stork Nightmares) briefly for 5 secs in hot water , only the legs and then after removing him bent him slightly backwards and placed him in glass of ice cubes !!   . voila !! he hasnt fallen down on his face yet . Initially the first day Mojo Bear was chaperoning him so he would not topple over , just like Mr Donkey did for your Marabou

Susanne its extreme summer now in India and lots of sun .. hopefully yhe figures will endure the heat  and no melt downs

Beautieful newcomers again

All are excellent additions James Mojo, Papo, S&N and teh Schleich brown pelican

The Mojo sable antelope is my favorite sable and it reminds me a STS great adventure The black bear is also a great figure, maybe a bit less realistic than the Sfari Ltd one but it is so elegant and the black color is... delicious! The Papos are very nice too and I can't wait to put my hand on the butler My old friends will know why
At last the Schleich Brown pelican isn't very realistic but it is an icon of the brand!

Thanks Kiki ! the Mojos and Schleich are all older figures come to welcome the New Papo and Wallaby !!

the Butler ( love the Marabou Stork) is still standing straight guess it got scared it will loose the job as butler in the GRAND EXOTIC ANIMAL HOTEL, since the Hotel Manager is a stern old Carnegie T. Rex  . I have the safari black bear and schleich blck bear cub !! ( some of my family are mixed brands ) but the Mojo bear has a beautiful paint app and yes Delicious !!

Kiki , all my figures are in boxes since i have no display shelves, there is too much dust where I live, and so I keep few of them out around the house and near my bed !! . I move often so have no permanent display case . strangely when the pelican came out i could not get the white one and got the brown one . I used to buy most of my figures from the US earlier now thankfully Safari figures r available in India and the rest I get from europe.

here the Papo Doggies are ready for a Drive !! I love playing with these folks

James, I like the way you mix brands and that you are very supportive to Mojö. I agree with Kiki, sable is excellent and remind us glorious adventures on forum.
With a hotel manager like that, I am not surprised anymore that your marabou is having troubles to stand, curiously Susanne's have the same problem and probably my marabou will have also when weather turns warmer. Susanne is so nice that she sent the less drunken to me and I don't need a donkey to help him.
Sometimes it is also good to remember how hard is to design a figure, we want thin legs, no bases, no softer material and non breakable, often, it is almost impossible to design an affordable figure that respects all children safety and that follow collectors high expectations. I think we've been very lucky, especially since 2011/12. :)

Grazie Roger ,  I live in a place where its just as hard to get a Mojo, Papo, Schleich or any of the modern and Japanese brands  ( except safari and collecta) and I have to spend a lot more on shipping to get the animal figures. For  Mojo to sustain its up to us to support them. Their figures in past have shown what they can do and I feel irrespective of what they make now we have to support them so they can make us happy in future . I may not need another Polar Bear but I want the new one ( its beautiful) same with the repaints ...We do spend a lot of money on lots of figures ..maybe in some way we got to give back sometimes to the hobby ! Just my way at looking at it .. Mojo is a cool Brand ( the good people behind Mojo are the brand) and we need more ppl like them to grow successful.  Roger Mr Marabou Stork has remained standing and seems solid in this Indian Summer  Im sure your Marabou will remain erect in the cooler climate of Portugal. I feel much happy now that he is Sober no support needed that PInk Bird is awesome !! Puma is showing her butt

Two beautiful sculpts !

James, these are the two most wanted figures for me at the moment! An incredible grevy's and a nilgai, what do we want more?
I rotated your pictures to turn it more confortable to members that use conventional computers.
What an excitment, I wished I could have these two in my hands now!
