| HyenaSean just posted this on LG:
"So for those who don't know, last year there was a split at CollectA between one person who did not like the direction of part of the line (large range, Deluxe dinos) compared to others. So they split, and this year came out with a whole new line:
http://www.mojofun.eu/catalogue/
It's called Mojo. That is a very silly name. Some of the figures look decent, but very CollectA/Schleich/Papo derivative."
Interesting isn't it, as Sean said a lot of the animals are just copies of Schleich and others. _________________ Harriet My *Collection* My *Handmade Animal Sculpture*

| Thanks Harriet, this is the best new of the year! Is true some animals looks the same as CollectA but introducing some news and the most part looks very nice! The name results horrible but I don't mind it! :) |

| So, that was not only a rumor...
I will need to see more pics but it seems IMHO the smilodon, donkey, wolves, beaver, lion maybe, meerkat, bison, platypus, kangaroo, camel, hyena are very decent. |

(I remember Nayab and Procon-Collecta)... I like mammoth (as Shleich,s), smilodon (as CollectA), wolves (as CollectA), beaver, badger (as CollectA), skunk (as CollectA), meercats (as Shleich), leopard, bizon (as Safari), camel (original model), hyena (original model), kangaroo (as Schleich)... But it seems simply copyes from other brands (Schleich, Papo, Safari, CollectA)? It,s looks clearly on polar bear model! It,s real Schleich model! The elephant adult - it,s Schleich and cafl it,s Papo! Where are authors rights! |

| Again my warm welcome to this new brand! I see some CollectA variations what I think is absolutly normal! And talk about copies??? These are replicas from real animals, much perfect more similar, if you are thinking that are copies from such nice brands this means that you are recognising the quality of Mojo! About the names, choose one better Papo in Portugal is the stomach of a chicken, Schleich sounds really bad in almost languages, Bullyland: what does it means, the land of the bulls??? |

| A wonderful Smile-odont WOW ! those teeth Aren`t his shoulder-blade too high up, though ? The shoulderblades of a cat function as a sort of spring, absorbs the shoch when it lands. It can move from normal, to the position of that kitty. That is the reason cats can jump from high places without being hurt in the landing. This one already has the shoulderblades in the highest position, so it can`t jump down from a high place... mmm, maybe they were like that then |

| Interesting your poinnt of view Susanne! Smilodons are from Felidae family but they have teir own genus! They are not cats and not even panthers! Sometimes skeleton characteristics are compared with bears, sholders are much more powerful built than hips! :) |

| This is great news. There are many animals that I love: the wolves, buffalo and especially the hyena (for me the best I've seen). To be the collection of the first year is pretty good. I have been in contact with them, asking about retailers and to know when will be in shops. Seems that will happen in May and will have distributors in Germany, Turkey, USA, France Switzerland and Australia. They were really nice and seem to appreciate the comments of a collector |

| Great to have another new brand again, but very bad for my wallet! It looks if they have some very decent models indeed, even when they look a lot like some of the already known brands. The smilodon is very nice indeed! _________________ http://www.collectorsquest.com/collector/1313/willybacoman
