Early released 2025 Mojo reptiles?

I stopped at HobbyLobby today to replace my blue posterboard I use for photos. The aisle is on the otherside of the animal figures and so I swung around just to look for fun and I am glad I did!










Both are stamped 2024 so these must be 2025 releases. I gotta say they are MUCH better than the geckos from this year...

Wow very interesting! I wasn’t expecting new Mojo figures yet, although odd they are marked 2024. Bearded dragons are one of the most popular reptiles yet sculptors keep giving them curved tails the underside looks very accurate though! With the folds under the arm.

Unfortunately Mojo doesn’t really excite me anymore. I find myself much more interested in Papo, Safari, CollectA, and even Toymany.

I wonder if we will see other “new” Mojo figures soon

That's something rare and exciting. It goes far the time when we found the new releases as surprises while visiting stores. Mojö Fun is today a very different brand, there's no doubts of it. There's a new direction to this company and I'm not sure this is what I wished.
A bearded lizard and an iguana? They look like a modern version of Toy Major these days. Let's see what we can find more about their new releases, it is a sort of misterious task now.

Talk about news! I can't say I fell in love at first sight, these two models are a bit like the company's latest reptiles, a far cry from the quality of its crocs and Komodo dragon.
However, congratulations on your find Paige.

I don't know anything that's official. I just notice that some of the brand's latest releases are no longer following Mojö's philosophy of distinguishing itself through a certain level of originality and even diversity in the pursuit of increasingly realistic figures. These latest reptiles, like lizards, or amphibians like frogs, demonstrate a very generic concept of a toy brand that creates figures for dollar stores. The very simplistic design, the easy-to-play toy poses, and optimized for the logistics of transportation and packaging. I don't want to present any kind of prejudice or critical attitude towards this. The path that each brand takes is its own responsibility, if this is the way to keep the brand alive and profitable, that's fine. It's just not what I wanted for the brand, and I'm not pretentious enough to think that what I long for has to be what brands should follow.

It's all very recent, in 2023 the brand had nothing to be ashamed of with its anaconda, anteater, aardvark, orang-utan, wooly rhino...

Yes, it is just about the amphibians and reptiles. Mojö is still a very valid brand to me, I bought recently their aardvark and anteater which I expect to receive during the next weeks. It is the fact I like so much many of their figures that I fear that these new lizards and amphibians represent a new path to the company. It can be just a sort of auxiliar line devoted to these stores and likely Mojö will continue to release great models.

Really interesting catches

I hope so, the brand was so innovative in the past and I often feel it is too underatted in the Collectors world.

Dear Sts Friends:

Hey, does anyone know when we'll get the list of numbers and names for mojo 2025? Since this is a brand I collect, I'm excited to see these new figures in hand. I hope I can get these soon. Anyway, if you hear anything about mojo 2025, keep me informed.

Sincerely,

Aschuck
