Strange-looking gaur

Hello everyone,


I'm considering purchasing a Mojö Fun gaur Bull.
I.found one offer on eBay, thé figure looks like a Mojö but quite odd, as if It was a bootleg version. The body doesn't seem to be very detailed and sharp.

It has nontheless a label wrapped around its hindleg, but It doesn't look like an official logo from Mojö At least, the add says it's a Mojö product.

Do you know if the same mold was used by other less-known toy companies ?
For example, I know the Maia & Borges mold for the sperm whale was successfully used by Schleich, Papo and another brand (can't remember which one)

Here another picture of a licensed Mojö product for comparison.

Very often the promotional pics are misleading, especially for Mojo. Here is my Gaur:

Nice photo.

But do you think the gaur on the picture above is a bootleg figure or released by a minor or unknown brand using the same mold?
Even the horns don't look very sharp.

Is the first figurine a Mojö?

No I don't think it is a bootleg, the horns on mine aren't sharp, like I said promotional images are very different. But if you are really concerned, I would suggest buying it new from online shops, it is not discontinued so it is easy to find.

IMHO it isn't a Mojo but one more knock-off

It's sold out everywhere. It's getting hard to find one.

Of course MPV ship to France It is a safe choice because you are sure to get a real Mojo. The one you are showing is a knock-off maybe an Oenux or Animal Kingdom like this one

I really can't tell, knockoffs are very similar these days. however, Mojö models are also sold under Animal Planet brand and they are the exact same. This sculpt has a subtle texture because the sculptor, wants to represent the fine sort hair of a gaur which is usually quite shiny in real. Often sculptors give an overtextured appearance to the fur which gives a more modern and detailed look to the toy but it does not always represent correctly the real animal. I love this figure, surely one of my favorite models of ever but I understand the smooth appearance might not work pleasant to everyone.

I alreadyordered some figures with ModellPferde Versand, at least you don't need to pay extra custom fees as with MiniZoo.

Indeed but sometimes we have to wait more time for the new toys

I usually order from Spanish online-store Kidinn (Trade-in). They have an impressive choice of figures, ship fast to France and are very cheap, especially when you compare them to the French sitr Les Minis.

I can see some Safari Ltd and collectA but four Mojo and one Papo, I wouldn't' call this an impressive choice of figures. Les Minis gives us more choice even if there is zero Papo, which is a funny thing for a French shop.
