| Sadly these repaints aren't really improvements. I can hardly tell a difference with the camel. I don't see these getting much interest. I hope they release something new or have a more drastic paint change. _________________ Jolie

| Disappointed with Mojo considering they have given us some really lovely models in the past. |

| Mojo originally released a brown version of their Griffon vulture figurine, but then they replaced it with a black version. However, they have now brought back the brown version, but with some modifications. It seems like Mojo is experimenting with different color schemes and designs for their Griffon vulture figurine, perhaps in response to customer feedback or changing preferences! In my opinion, the 2013 version looks more realistic in comparison with 2025! |

| I have the two first versions of this model. I find this griffon figure magnificent. My problem is that the new colors seem stylistic choices which are more oriented to a aestetic appeal than to a more realistic approach. This is a good figure of an Eurasian griffon vulture so it should follow a matching color layout. |

| I would say the main difference between the two first versions wasn't the colours, even if the change is obvious, it is the material used to make the legs. The first series was too soft and the law of gravity won the battle, and the vulture slumped forward as time went by. For the colour, I think I prefer the two older versions |

| There's an announcement for their grizzly getting updated paint work now too.
Mojo is well known for multiple paint work updates on figures- but they've never had an official announcement of it like these. That's the part that worries me- I would think that they *have* to have at least some truly new items no? I understand there's isn't a lot of enthusiasm for the brand here but I am hoping for their success still. They had some great items once- but I agree that they seem to be a changed company in their vision for the brand. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

Mojo seems to be prioritizing children with their current strategy, including repainting existing models for this market. They might also be preparing to unveil new models following these repaints. |

| Well, all of the companies should be focusing on children as that is their primary consumer market. And yes, that's what I am hooing they are doing is showing the repaints off first and then will move into they're new products. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

...even a new model to paint at home... And if they want to make an interesting, notable (and necessary) repaint, they can work on the *flamingo.

| I really appreciate the new painting of the eagle's feathers, but I think the talons could be painted better. If they work on improving the appearance of the talons, this figurine would be worth purchasing. |

| Well, they could make a little facelift to the fennec fox since it is an excellent sculpt needing a better color. |

| Finally, MojoFun has started announcing their new figurines for 2025. Cryptoclidus was a medium-sized plesiosaur, with the largest individuals measuring up to 4 m long and weighing about 737–756 kg. The fragile build of the head and teeth preclude any grappling with prey, and suggest a diet of small, soft-bodied animals such as squid and shoaling fish. Cryptoclidus may have used its long, intermeshing teeth to strain small prey from the water, or perhaps sift through sediment for buried animals. |

| I can't tell much about the quality of the model but certainly te choice is iteresting. Cryptoclidus is not commonly replicated, I don't even know if it was ever featured. Another interesting point is that one of the places we can find a mounted skeleton of this animal is in the Natural History Museum of London and Mojö Fun is a UK based company. Though, the best news is that Mojö Fun is presenting new models and not just updated paintings. |
