Babirusa is coming?

Ok, I know that the 2013 Mojo Mountain lion will be avaible in september at hobby lobby.

However, while i was there today, i found two empty spaces, now the sticker on one of them was for the mountain lion, but the other was for the barbarusa!

Here is some numbers i got from the barburusas sticker. I had no idea what they are for, and one of them could be the item#

650127

39428

I really bealieve that The barburusa will be comeing to Hobby Lobby sometime before 2013.

If any of you know any more info, please say so.

I really don't know about the babirusa but that's really exciting. Anyway it is easy to understand why a mountain lion is launched early in an North American shop but a babirusa? Thanks for sharing the information!

Last babirusa was made in 1971... So a 2013 one could be launched early everywhere I guess

Great news!

WOW! This is SO exiting

I suppose this question is aimed specifically at Roger, but any informed answer would be quite welcome: When the Puma (and perhaps the Babirusa) are released through Hobby Lobby, will the models be available for purchase exclusively in the store? Or will Hobby Lobby ship the modes as well?

Phantastic info

I can't help, Hobby Lobby has an online shop with a very limited range of mixed Safari and Mojo figures. I don't know if they will also sell it online but as long I'm informed I'll let you know.
I hope the babirusa antecipation will happen once, as usual, Christophe is right! Such a long time without this animal in this hobby!

I will have to return to Hobby lobby monday or sooner, so i will take my camera and photograph the two spaces.

Thanks Roger! Let's hope they ship the Puma when it arrives and that the Babirusa comes with it!

The Sticker

Barbarossa !!!!

Which one ?

So the question is, will Mojo be making a series of historical figures, 2nd WorldWar strategies, is it a spelling error, or does it not have anything to do with Mojo ?

Since it's Papo Corsair with Gun behind it, it's probably Barbarossa the pirate

Yes, Susanne is right! I remember seeing the Papo zebu in a catalogue and immediatly I gave the news to the forum that the figure was not retired as we thought. But the catalogue was from a local distributor and not from Papo. Mistakes are evidences of our enthusiasm and enthusiasm is the best part of this hobby! Anyway I find the information very interesting and I'm almost sure that soon or later we will see the babirusa!

Now if it said "Babyrousa celebensis" we'd be more certain.

I think it's at all amazing that a company adopts the Babirusa and I am very to be glad.
After such a long wait time.... I have my wait time already bypassed a few years earlier.


@Takama - Is it no problem, we all are human .

Cool babirusa figs! Also like your warthog profile pic! I assume all customs?
