Mojö Fun 2020 Zebra and Foal by Anna Dobrowolska

Hi Friends!
Mojofun kindly let me present some of the new models here on the forum and do it before the official reveals on their own social media pages!
This is the new version of Mojo zebra and foal. I hope you like them!
I've sculpted the prototypes in 2018 and the company took the needed time to make a good painting scheme   They'll be available in 2020.

@Ana in case my PM doesn't go through, may I post these to ATF now (early) as well? Thanks!

I've answered your PM

Being a premiere, I turned your post into a new topic. It could be reversed whenever we want.
First, it is very kind from Mojö Fun letting STS-Forum being the first place on web presenting it.
Then, it is also a good news to know it was you who sculpted it.
With my trades and gifts, I ended without any common zebra from a major company. As it is a common release among main brands, I waited a little and here is a good option.
It is good to know they haven't reused the quagga mould, it seems the reused moulds are a fever now again. Love the pose of this one and the chest area is incredibly nice!
There is also a good effort with the painting. I like the abundance of darker strips. Zebras are black with white sstrips and not the other way round. I understand it is not easy for mass production but inner parts are too white in my opinion.
I like the proud stance of the adulte and the expression of the foal.

Thank you Roger! I'm glad you like it and even consider having it in your collection as a representation of this species. I do hope it's a good improvement over Quagga
About the painting, I too always prefer an off white over a pure white, but toy companies often use the second option.

What a beautiful pair of zebras!

wonderful models, congrats Ana!!

Glad you like them Paige, and Caracal

Wonderful zebras!

Thank you, dear Noemi!

Oh Ana, that foal is an absolute dream! I love it!!! It will certainly move in!!!

really nice Ana! Nice work.

The mare has something that I see in all your creations Anna, character! <3
That foal is adorable!

Wow !

And of course I love them !
We can immediately see , that they are made it from your hands Anna ... you give life to all your models.
Like the donkeys, these Zebras are fantastic !

Great Zebras,another must have !!!!

wonderful models, congrats Ana

It lacks some scratches on the inside of the legs!
But this is often the case on many figurines
mass produced.
Congratulations to Möjo beautiful Stripes and beautiful Zebra and foal

Thanks for all wonderful comments! You're too kind!
I'm really glad you like the new zebras

Magnificent zebra, Ana. I am curious how the production process works, do you know more about this? Did Mojö just ask you to produce a zebra and foal or did they give you particular constraints? After you had sculpted the figure, did you just send a clay model or mould to Mojö? Do you know how they then turn it into a mould that they can use for their production? And how do they paint it, is it hand-painted or is this done by a machine/robot?

Ania strikes back

As Rogério, I am now without any common zebra from a "western" company. The last CollectA was first very tempting only the legs

So yours is a very good news for the little empty place on my shelves.

Some Mojo models are very fine but, for me, too static, like the last Llama by example. Of course, when your mom is Anna Dobrowolska it is obvious you will be full of life (but not too much)

Thank you very much to Mojo to let our great artist make some wild life models Even if it is a horse again

I hope we will see some pictures of a real toy and also of the prototype.

As for your question, yes Mojo asked me to sculpt a zebra and foal. And they wanted a common zebra (not Grevy's zebra for example), we also agreed about the pose and scale before I started my part of work. After I've sculpted the model I've sent it to the company and that's where my part was done. I don't know how the production process works exactly. But I know they are all handpainted, no robots are involved in the painting process.

Thanks so much, Christophe! I'm glad you like these zebras
I can't wait to see the final product in real too! But here is a photo of the prototypes.

Thank you very much, Ana. It's great to see the prototypes, thanks for showing them. I think you also answered another question I had: You already made them to scale, Mojö didn't resize them. For me, the figures become more interesting when I know how they were made. If you are be happy to share some more of your Mojö prototypes (your young donkey is especially cute) with us, I would really enjoy that.

I'm glad to hear that! Yes, I think I'll send some photos of the prototypes soon

Oh yes! I've been on a zebra kick lately and I need these guys!!
