Mojö Fun 2013 Griffon Vulture

I have a great pleasure to present new bird from Mojo, wonderful and beautiful Griffon vulture. Phenomenal work in my humble opinion, great detailing, good proportions and paintwork...

Wonderful!!!!

It is fantastic, the expression, the peak, his look, impressive. Mojo outdoes himself (o)): (o)): (o)): (o)):

Alfonso

A wonderful bird!!!

WOW! it's a masterpiece (o)): (o)): (o)):

Thanks for showing, Robert! I agree with everything being commented. I only want to add that the pose gives a sumptuous and artistic lloking to what is surely a magnificent replica of a griffon vulture!

Very nice figure, on the photos looks more realistic than the Schleich one. Until now I have no Mojo in my collection but this is probably my second Mojo 2013 (bird again!) figure on my wishlist :)

nice!
good future options for bird figurines.

super! i love it!

It's my number 1 bird!! Great work!!

MAGNIFICENT

A real worthy bird to join the Mojo-eagle (o)): (o)):

Wow, Mojö is becoming the best birds brand, after the Emu, this one is just stunning! Hopefully there are more to come, maybe Crowned Crane or the Secretary Bird from the FB voting!

AAAAAMAAAAZIIIIIIING! (o)): Want!

A very fine bird. I have already a nice place for this wonderful fellow in my aviarie

Just gorgeous!

I have been googling, but can`t find out why it is called a GRIFFON vulture
We call it a goose-vulture . Is a goose called a griffion in some language ???

I think griffon came from griffin a mythical hybrid creature? That suits this bird I think? It has eaglelike bill and lionlike mane?
Just speculation

better than the schleich one

Unfortunately there is no more birds this year. These 2 birds from FB/STS choices are really hard to make and very beautiful species. Probably they'll be introduced in 2014? The emu was also projected to 2012 and Mojo wanted to give us a figure with highest quality standards and decided to release it only in 2013. I think it worth to wait.
I know penguins are sometimes a little appart when talking about birds but I think Mojo is launching three great birds if we don't forget the Gentoo!

I also don't know yet which one is the best. I'm afraid I need to get both!
However, knowing that you are a young boy still very attached to Schleich and with an increasing interest in animals. I must say that it is great that you feel confortable choosing a figure from a brand you're not used with. That's freedom, that's personality!

Here you go Susanne. I looked it up to see where it lives. Here is a photo and a description link to Wikipedia.

I am just excited that the one from Schleich won't be so lonely being my first and only vulture to my collection anymore! I like how the bird looks very noble. Great details again and I love teh texture on Mojo's animals now. Great release Mojo! (and I am soooo happy that you decided to break the whole waiting til next week coffee break! )
