| Those are perfect pictures of what is for me also the best wolverine figure and I have all other competitors. The pose is intentionally static once Mojö wanted to represent a very typical pose to that creature. For those that never noticed, Mojo avoids agressive postures among their extant animal replicas. That is a philosophy of the company that I respect a lot even if I am an enthusiast of Papo bad boys. By the way, when will Papo release a wolverine? It is a perfect animal for their style. |

| Yes the "static" and peaceful looking nature of the Mojo models is an intended effect. When I asked I was told that they wanted to represent the peaceful natural side of animal species, not the violent natural side of them. I think thats a noble cause. And when you simply look at photos or see a real one in person (as I have) they are far less angry as some documentaries present them to be. They often will just sit and relax on a log when they aren't fighting bears off moose carcasses or climbing vertical mountain ranges in mere hours. Thank you everyone. The dead weeds and grasses reflected the bronze stripe of my model's paint job perfectly. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Congratulations, because this wolverine is very nice in your photos. I would like comparative photos between this mojo and the Bullyland one. |

| If I had the bullyland model I would gladly do a comparison for you, but unfortunately I don't. Someday!

Then, Mojo should definitely do the devil's figure we were talking about on my topic. When you like to collect animals by pair or groups, it is very enjoyable to have different poses. This wolverine would make a great mate for my Schleich fierce-looking one. However, it is retired and difficult to find in Europe. |

| These winter shots are lovely. I especially like the rhinos marching across the fields and the wolverine at peace. |

| Next up, the safari ltd leopard seal. One of my favorite species, and my favorite (and only) figure of one.

| I wasn't convinced by this model first but your pictures changed my mind, it is beautiful and Safari Ltd captured very well the Leopard seal spirit. I "only" own the Kitan club one, if I need a bigger Leopard seal (and find enough place) I will surely go for this one. Thank you Paige |

| This figure is the final leopard seal I added to my collection. I also have the Papo and CollectA figures.
Great photos Paige, and I'm glad you have just this figure to represent its species, it's truly wonderful. _________________ [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ADAM [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] "Our planet is in crisis.

| Capture the expression of an animal into a figurine is not easy, but Safari did perfectly with the leopard seal. It have absolutely the same expression of the real animal. _________________ My collection:- (Details):

| Interesting, the leopard seal is another pending subject in my collecting hobby. I think this model is really good, probably the best if we don't consider the Kitan masterpiece, though, I think I am going for CollectA's figure. :) |

| I really love this model, I feel it captures something special about the species. In the snow the edges of the gray look really blue which is something I hadn't noticed before. I adore this model. I was disappointed with the papo model when it released, but I might consider the CollectA.
