| I own the Schleich 16092 Great White Shark. It is a nice model, alas the curved pose gives me problem to display it on my shelves. I want to replaced it but I can't choose between the different great white available. Please give me your thought and maybe pics on the question. Also, if someone have pics of the Deluxe CollectA Great white shark, it would be helpful. |

| My favorite is the 2016 Safari figure; some people don't like the blunt teeth, but it has probably the best body sculpt. |

| The Great white sharks from major brands in my collection are 2. First I got the Collecta one, which is not bad, but I am not a fan of it`s muzzle, it`s too sharp. And my next choice is the same as Blaine, the Safari 2016 one. And yes, despite the teeth, the model looks good. The proportions of the body is still not perfect ... again a short body, but not so dramatic, like in other Safari sharks. So if you need, I can show these two sharks in a comparison photos. By the way Kiki, you asked about ''Deluxe CollectA Great white shark''... I tried to search for a delixe Collecta model, but I couldn`t find any. Which one is it? Or do you maybe mean the Mojo one ? |

| I don’t want you to loose your time of course but I always like comparison pics I fumbled, I was talking about the Mojo Deluxe indeed. I’m surprised nobody talked about it and I can’t see pictures. I’m not a specialist but it looks nice to me. |

| Kosta is responding very slowly, but I hope, with these photos, I will help some how with choosing your model Kiki. First the Collecta and Safari 2016 together : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Here is the Safari one, which by the way it has stability issues. With the time the fins become more bended and it`s stays like this : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]It`s a nice model, only the teeth are not so good : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]I already showed the Collecta one on walkaround topic and we have the photos on TAW, but let`s see it here again : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]It`s a nice model, with good proportions and a good size, but the muzzle is very sharp. For sure, the most impressive part of this model is the well made it mouth with the teeth. : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And just an extra model from me, the Colorata one, from the deluxe set of sharks . Smaller but nice model ... and it is the only male I have :) [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]With Safari : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]And all 3 of them : [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Fantastic, Kosta! This comparison reminds me a little the leopard seal comparison. CollectA model may not be the most accurate but its pose and artistic level make it more exciting than all others. I am happy with a Bullyland model Susanne gave me but I really like the CollectA. Let’s see if Cristophe has a favorite. Thanks! |

| Thank`s Roger :) I understand why you like the Collecta one :) The same reason why I got it.. Maybe Kiki doesn`t have a favorite from these, because he is still on silence ... or maybe he just missed my post on this topic .. |

| It seems I used the "stop watching this topic link". Thank you Rogério for telling me And thanks Kosta and Benno for your pics. The only Great white model I own now is the first Colorata (not Kosta's one), it is very nice to my eyes and perfect on a 1/40 shelf. I could stay with this one, but I'mnot a synoptic collector and I think great white shark deserve a bigger model between 1/18 and 1/25. The CollectA is very nice and have a wonderful smile though I agree the nose is a bit too "Great white sharp" The Bully and the other oldies are nice but a bit too old fashioned for my purpose: Having a small and a big Great white on display. It means I need to be pickier than usual. The Safari Ltd seems the best candidate of the batch even if I'm still curious about the Mojo deluxe. I will abuse again, could you tell me the Safari Ltd lenght ? |

| You don’t need to thank me, Christophe. I also miss lots of topics for the same reason. Actually the topic is getting interesting thanks to Kosta’s and Benno’s pictures. I hope someone owns the mighty Mojõ to show. Safari website reads their shark is nearly 16 cm long but it is better if Kosta can confirm it. |

| And Kosta confirms ! Actually , to be more precise, from the nose to the end of the tale , it`s 16,5 cm. "stop watching this topic link" .. hmm, I didn`t know this link...sounds interesting I also think, that the Mojo deluxe one look`s interesting. The face is some how a bit strange ( at least on the stock photo) ... I tried to search on internet for some photos of the real model, but no result.. |

The "stop watching this topic" button is not a joke alas, it is on the right bottom of the page. On a laptop or PC, it isn't a problem. It's not the same story, at least for me, when I used a tablet or a phone... Sometimes I "hit the target" without knowing it... Too old for modern technology I guess So the Safari could reach 1/25 and 1/36 scale. The Mojo Deluxe is interresting for me because it is bigger but I agree with you, we need more pics than the only official pic. Nothing on the web... It is a bit odd that Mojo produced a Deluxe shark and only one poor pic to advertise. |

I keep searching for this button, but I can`t find it ... maybe because for me is forbidden to stop watching any topic .. But it`s fine, anyway I want to keep watching every one of our topics Yes, this Mojo Deluxe shark is a mistery ... Actually I also like other Mojo marine models, but not every one can be find , with real photos very easy... ''edit'' ...after 5 min .... Oh, finaly I found this button But first, you have to press ''watch this topic'' ...and then I can see option : '' stop watching'' |

Which Mojo sealife do you like ?
For 7 years, I never tried this button... it was the first time for me So maybe my settings stays like this .. I still don`t have any sealife Mojo models, but I like the Grey Whale ( is it M&B mold ? ) Also the Blacktip reef shark, which is for sure the M&B mold.. Also the Bull shark ( not the deluxe one), but the paint job look`s strange. All 3, we still don`t have in TAW I also like the Humpback Whale ( not the deluxe one, which I think is the M&B mold ),This one , but only the sculpt. The paint job is not pleasant for me. And of course I like the deluxe Great White Shark, which we already discussed. |

| The 2012 humpback whale from Mojo is not a M&B design but a model directly sculpted by Mojo resident sculptors. :) |

| Yes, the last one is a Maia & Borges model. I was not sure to which one you were refering. Now I understand that you're saying it correctly. |

| Mojo 387119 Humpback Whale Is indeed beautifully sculpted... I’m tempted now The M+B are fine figures but I’m a bit fed up to see them in every brands except Safari ltd and CollectA, it is boring. |
