Tomorrow I'll try to open a new topic with all catalogue pictures of Mojo 2013 releases to turn easier to everyone to check what is being introduced.
Honestly, I don't have any information about the repainted Iberian lynx.

Talking bout hooves and 4 horn tips, I understand why some people is thinking in a Jacob sheep, even the pronghorn was expected, our immagination goes often to sheep. It also happens when we look at the sky and try to guess the shape of a cloud. Almost always we think in sheep, isn't it?Well, the last one is arriving soon and maybe Mojo is giving us a herd?

I was thinking pronghorn, but then you said no more antelope. In the U.S. we usually call them pronghorn antelope. That is what through me off.

That's perfectly natural. As long as a pronghorn is not an antelope it doesn't make sense that his common name is pronghorn antelope. Mainly because it is not as far related with antelopes as a sea horse is with horses.
So that's not your mistake. That was a detail and these little "games" are made of details. The most important is that the brand ended with an exciting choice of animals.I hope Mojo continue giving us less known feline species but of course I hope bongo or saiga can introduce the range for 2014. Until there we have a lot of fantastic animals to enjoy and ruin us!

Saiga and bongo would be great, but what I would love to see is a Tibetan antelope.

Yes, a chiru is also among my favorite and most wished animals. I suspect it is a nightmare in terms of manufacturing! Though, I think Mojo will ask here and on FB our most wanted animals to be released and you can remember asking it.

Yes, I think that those long thin horns would be a beast to sculpt. Constantly breaking and bending.

A chiru would be a fantastic toy Rogério, I would be very happy to have one About MOJÖ, do you mean a 2015 list could begin like the 2013 one ?

Mojo has very great models for 2013.

But i will see, which brand will make a paca, the animal in my avatar. I hope one of the brands will do.

I totally support your demand! A paka for 2014! (o)):

I am actually discussing with James some STS/Mojo projects for 2013 considering 2014 releases.
About chiru I have no doubts it would make a fantastic toy, I also want it. Though, if a bongo is expected I don't think another antelope will be introduced. Mainly knowing the characteristics of the animal. I'm not saying that Mojo sculptors are not able of making it, I'm only saying that it is hard in terms of mass production. Also Mojo give us some diversity and I think the brand is needing more a wild pig (babirusa), an ape, a South American rodent, an European bull, maybe one more Australian friend, etc. Also the range is in constuction and I believe some common animals will be introduced, the brand still don't have an ostrich, cheetah or jaguar, grizzlies, wildebeest, tortoise, etc. We don't need them but the brand needs. Let's enjoy what is being introduced and I'm sure the cooperation between Mojo and STS will continue. I wished more brands followed this example.

Ostrich, cheetah, jaguar, grizzly, wildebeest, tortoise are very welcome on my shelves, the door is still open for some good models Rogério Even common species can be excellent or fantastic models. I still need a good jaguar, or a grazing gnu.
About brown bears (Urus Arctos) it would be great to have a Syrian brown bear(Ursus arctos syriacus) or a Tibetan blue bear (Ursus arctos pruinosus)

As always you have excelent ideas. Considering the importance of US market to Mojo and that the market is crouded of grizzlies, I was tempted to suggest the Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi ) Although I think my suggestion is more promissing commercially, I like best yours!

Agreed! I'm always delighted to have a new tried-and-true animal on my shelf when the sculpt is beautiful. (I know I've said this again and again, but Mojo's Hippo and CollectA's Giraffe were two of my favorite models from 2012.)

I'd also like to see a new Jaguar. My favorite is still the Schleich.

A Chiru would be wonderful. The animal I am always wishing for is an Asian Water Buffalo. It is depressing to me that Schleich, Safari, Papo, Mojo, and CollectA have not made one. I have the Britains and I'd like to get the Bandai eventually. But I still want one from the big, current companies.



But I am always happy when new bears are made. I can live without a water buffalo if there are new bears to comfort me.

Yes, I agree 200%. I think that a kouprey would be awesome too!

This will probably never happen, but I think (this is what we call it) a Pizzly would be cool, that is a cross between a Polar bear and Grizzly, and since the ice caps are melting, scientists are predicting that there will be more and more crossings of these huge bears and may eventually lead to a separate species. Interesting enough, but probably won't happen, and I wouldn't want it to promote bad breeding etc etc from zoos like so many white/albino figures out there...
On another note, a Kodiak and a water buffalo would be awesome.

Pizzly ? This hybrid between grizzlys and Polar bears ? Well some French companies made hybrid bears in the 1950's, they were forward thinking brands i guess I think the Danish REISLER made some too

Still no news on the reworked Iberian Lynx and final paint of the Leopard?
