Sable antelope 2012 Wild Safari Wildlife, walkaround by Kikimalou

Thank you so much Chris for these photos!!! Now I know for sure I love this model!!! I love the pose, head, horns (I have a problem with Mojo´s horns... ) :) I can´t wait for mine in my collection!!

I really like this model for some reason - however I still think the hooves and feet are too big/wide. I wish Safari could make their hoofed animals with smaller and smaller hooves!

Also the horns seem to seem backwards too quickly and it should be upright a little more. Perhaps a moulding issue with the plastic - something which we could fix with the hair dryer/cold water method.

however I like the detail on this model and it seems to have character, I think its very nice indeed! Cant wait to get a herd of them....

Martin, Numaan, I'm happy if my pics enjoyed you .

Numaan, I can't wait for the COLLECTA to complete the herd

Exactly!!
Safari is weird with hooves... they are too big and round (cape buffalo, giraffes, pronghorn, oryx...). I don´t like them
Hooves of horses, zebras or donkeys are great but other animals... nope.

That's only problem to me too! Always oversize!!

I think I like the pose more than mojofun.

me too ...

I must put a link showing that the pose of the Mojo sable was a choice from members of this forum, Kiki already told it, isn't it a little unelegant this kind of comments when it was the first brand that gave us the chance of making such choice?
It doesn't surprise me that some brands are very far from us, like Schleich, Papo and so.
I have a huge respect for the democratic decisions of this forum and for the brands that care with collector opinions.

The main problem is - people mix phrase "good pose" with "good model"
Is this a good pose? Yes, I suppose it is...

Well, nobody is perfect

I guess every sable will find a fan club... And that's not a bad thing. I understand one can prefer the pose of the SAFARI Ltd. Even if the MOJO pose was the choice of STS, some members disagreed and again, why not ? But it's fair to remember the pose was not MOJO choice.

I have the SAFARI ltd and MOJO FUN models and I have my favorite too, but my "less loved" one is a very good model too... 2012 will probably be an excellent year for collectors

Exactly! I was speaking just for myself, Roger And you know I had some problems with standing pose of Mojo sable... we had a little fight about it... But even though I like this model and it will not be missing in my collection! I looove Mojo as a brand. I love them for listening to fans and James is a great guy and it´s nothing against them!!

I forget to say the "best pose" isn't the main criterion to choose my favorite

I only have the Safari sable so far but will get the other three. I really would say the pose of the Safari Sable is my favorite, as well as the female CollectA Sable. The Safari one looks to be hand painted with a very bright white while the Mojo and CollectA are airbrushed with a less bright white. The stance of the Safari one I think is exactly the same as the Safari Zebra...but they are great. I like his face--not sure which is more true to life but I feel the Mojo face looks very thin.

Even thin, the MOJO fun face, and body , is more true to life

Same here...

I like the pose, brighter paint and muscles of this one better than mojo's and collecta's.
