MOJO need your help to choose a Cape buffalo

So, ladies and gentlemen, I have the great pleasure to show you the first pics of the 2012 Mojo Cape buffalo...  

To become clearer I need to show you two Cape buffaloes from the same mould but with different colours  

Why two variations ?         Well, maybe because Mr James need to know our ideas about it    

So... Let's play the game  


The first one... Maybe we could call him Mr First ?
He has a slightly charcoal body with good highlights and the horn details are highlighted in Greyish colour



And now Mr Second  
He has a slightly darker body colour and the horns are highlighted in a browny colour.


And now some comparison pics, on the left Mr First and on the right... Mr Second  

My two cents...

It seems whe have the coice between this one ;


And that one :


Most of the modern Cape buffaloes models( SAFARI LTd, PAPO and SCHLEICH) are a mix of Mr First and Second with dark bodies and dark grey horns...
CollectAhave dark horns and more brownish body.

About the Mojo ones, I love them both, Mr Second horns make a bold move but I'm affraid it would be harder to paint and stay realistic...
About the body colour, both of them are less dark than other companies models and I appreciate it.

The first time I watched the pics my heart has beaten faster for Mr First but I guess it was a more 'easy" feeling.

Now, what I would prefer is a Mr Second with more dirty horns. I mean browny horns but as dirty as Mr First horns. I guess it is clear    

So... What about you my friends ?  

Excellent, me wants
I would like to go with Mr. Second, with horns of Mr. First. Mr. First has too much body shading for my taste

Oh he is just beautiful!!
Ditto Robert, I agree with you

I prefer the second version with the lighter colour horns but i DONT like the whites around the eyes. I think that is horrible. There should not be whites around the eyes at all.

But also on second thoughts I like the first one too so I am lost. I like both horn colourings. Schleich made a buffalo with creamy coloured horns.

Any chance that some of these new 2012 models could be photographed alongside some Schleich models for comparison? I Would like to see the size differences if possible.

thanks

Oh, forgot to add, I just LOVE the sculpt. That would be the most natural Cape Buffalo on the market for sure, anatomy is excellent, animals look so alive

Beautiful Figures!!! I would like to have Mr.Second with Mr.First horns too. :)I like the darker colour very much,Thanks for sharing Christophe!

Thanks for showing all the wonderful pictures!!!!!! I like Mr. Second!!!!!! I really really like what Mojo is doing!!!!! Possibly my new favorite brand??????

Thank You for showing photos of Cape buffalo Christophe!! I like Mr Second more :) Maybe just without this white shade around eyes. It would be nice to make this color around eyes brownish or grayish but not white. Anyway my vote is for MR Second

Yeah, thanks for the pics!
I'd propose to manufacture both versions - buyers will a have a variety. And it'd be cool to mix them when making some kind of herd. Although the poses are similar, color variations will lend some variety.

Hello macaques crazy as I think Robert
I prefer the color of the second with horns painted the first!
Thank you to Mojo for the peaks.

first i must say this fellow is so wonderful i will be happy with him in any color. (Well, maybe not pink ). He is truly beautiful.

I'm sure Mr James understands that our "critical" comments of 'i like this better than that' or 'i don't like that', are only because we wonder if we're being asked for our opinions on how to make this figure the best it can be! Clearly everyone loves this sculpture!

I do not care for the white around Mr 2's eyes very much. If it were darker, that would be better. I think i also think best would be Mr 2 with Mr 1's horn color. But i will be happy with either.

MOJO!!!

One more great Mojo-model

Fantastic sculpture

We already have a lot of votes for mr. Second . And I agree
I would love to see mr Second with mr First`s head

Hurray for James to let us look at both versions, it is a fantastic opportunity

Thankyou for presenting them, Christophe, I am afraid if it continues like this, I will have to take a loan in the bank next spring

Another fantastic figure by Mojo!!! It seems that Mojo will soon have some of the best species available.

Well, it seems Mr Second horns have a very very very small fan club  

O k but I still think it is more interresting than Mr First horns, which looks a lot like SAFARISCHLEICHPAPO horns, more consensual...
I would prefer those kind of horns  

as a prehistoric collector

i wil vote to

i say mister uno
beter look at the body,,and the horns are more real

But...but.. Christophe, ...none of the horns look like in that photo    

FANTTASTIC MOJO I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I CANT WAIT, EVEN MORE, I CANT HOLD ON.............................
TELL WHEN AND WHERE TO GET THOSE ,,,,NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SH...OE:cheers: I love him!!! What a fantastic buffalo!

I´m definitely for Mr. second with horns of Mr. first and without the whites around his eyes!!!

I love them both! I can't choose. But if I HAD to I would choose #2.

Mojo 2012 is going to be amazing!

-Kristie

Mojo is planning a massive attack on collector's budget

...A nice Cape buffalo Christophe! What variant better? I love the both variants! There are difference colour of animals in the same herd yeah?

Yes Susanne, but the pics are here to discuss about the 2012 Mojo Cape buffalo... And not only to choose among Mr First and Mr Second

Ahhh, I thought these were the final mould

You are right for the mould... But not for the paint
