Mojo 2013 Retired Figures

I received from Mojo the list of figures to be retired in 2013. :)
Remember that the brand only started in 2011, so that little list is already impressive.
Those figures will turn in collector itens and won't be produced anymore!

387038 White Tailed Deer Stag
387018 Leopard
387023 Moose
387064 Iberian Lynx
387069 Arabian Stallion Black
387084 Arabian Stallion Chestnut
387100 Red Holstein Calf standing
387101 Red Holstein calf laying down
387102 Red Holstein Cow

Red Holstein Cattle will be repainted to Jersey Cattle!
Deer, Moose and Arabian horses will be replaced for new sculpts! :reindeer:
Leopard and Iberian Lynx will receive new and improved painting!
Some pictures later!

Thank you for this great news, especially for leopard. He needs new paintjob!

I'm eager to see moose with new sculpt

WOW

I can`t wait to see what the lynx will look like with new painting

Thankyou for the info, Roger

Mojo figures are not easy available for me, otherwise would be the first edition lynx and leopard on my shelf today. I am really happy for the company decision to improve current terrible painting for so well sculpted figures!!! (o)):

Wow, I'm looking forward to see new paintings on two cats First when I saw Iberian lynx on retired list I felt scared!
I'm also very curious about new moose

Here are, directly from factory, pictures of Jersey cattle repainted molds from Red Holstein cattle.
And the leopard!


Jarda, surely it will be not a problem to find the cats for you.
Ana, I also feel scared when I read my post even I know it will be only repainted.
Now I'm like Susanne, hurray for lynx variations!!!!

Now I will have to get a leopard

I didn't they would retire anything until next year. I am excited about this though, if their arabs are anything like their new horses than they will be great! Also I am curious about their moose, I thought it was good to begin with, if htey replace do you think it will be in the same pose? or different? and maybe they will introduce a family for him. The leopard and lynx I don't have yet, but now I do not know if I want the old paint jobs or the new ones? decisions, decisions... I feel that Mojo keeps getting better and better as the years go on! (o)):

Thank you for the information! I'll probably order the stag when I next buy figures online : )

WOW!!!!
I don`t know which I love most, - the cattle or the leopard

THANKYOU for sharing

these looks even better as the retired paited one's

Mojo is on the right track
good to know there is a brand that listen to there collectors

very very nice panther

Still not sure about the leopard, I like his spots now, but he's just too bright, maybe it's just the photo.

I am sorry for not sharing the euphoria.
The repainted leopard is better than previous version (the worst leopard figure painting I ever seen) but still not good, it is just another confirmation that painting was and is the weakest part of Mojo figures. Is it really hand-painted figure?! The bottom leopard body part is lighter (it´s OK) but I miss any darker parts on the background colour. This leopard painting remains me the old Bullyland style for their standard edition leopards. The Mojo people probably never seen the Papo one (model from 2004!) - shame...

They are really great with new coloring :) I can´t wait to see new moose :)

what the hell?
That leopard looks even worse than before, but with some additional "spotwork" he could probably be easily repainted saxicolor subspecies,.... But so long i still like to find the "old" lynx somewhere as it wasn't even available before it was retired,.....

I agree.
Earlier today I googled some pics of the old leopard for comparison and I think the paintjob was better in that version.....

In my second opinion ..looking at the panther,,

the body collor is to bright
the spots are to much there
when the body paint is a bit darker,,

than it wil be a fantastic repaint

Iberian Lynx? But why? It,s nice and rare model made with help of STS-members!

i still dont have the current Iberian Lynx.

Current Iberian Lynx is not bad and wondering how is the new paint like?

I think the leopard paint is definitely better than the first version. if can be like this is even better

Will it cost too much to produce something's like that?

I like best this leopard version although , to result realistic, it needs much more spots. More and more concentrated spots gives immediatly the idea that it is darker.
I also think that making darker will give the illusion of more spots. Papo leopard has an unusually good painting but I can remember that this figure also suffered variations during the years, see as example how poorly painted is the new Papo reindeer, I'm sure next years the brand will improve the painting work as well as Mojo will make the same with some figures.

Sergey, Iberian lynx will only be repainted, we hope in a better version. As I told before, the sculpting is very good and realistic and deserves a better painting.

Are you suggesting the paint should look like this photo?
