Mojo Fun - New for 2018

[Badger]

Does anybody have some version of this whale, whether Mojo, Papo, or otherwise? I've had my eye out for the old MBA Sperm Whale, but keep missing my chance. Looking at the stats on the Mojo website, it seems like theirs is comparable in size. If that's the case, I may forgo my search for a cheap MBA specimen and get the the Mojo instead.

I have the Papo version, and I would definitely recommend the Mojo/Papo sperm whale if you want a reasonably large and accurate (at least just as much as the MBA model) model of a sperm whale.

Does anybody have pictures of the sperm whale? I'd like to see a comparison of it against some Safari figures, just so I can get a rough idea of it.

I have only received the Mojo fun Elephant seal figure today, and was surprised.

The sculpt is exactly, and I do mean EXACTLY, the same as the long since retired Schleich Elephant seal shown here:

It appears that Mojo just bought the molds from Schleich and relaunched and repainted them.
Both figures were made in Portugal, so probably same factory.

Anyone else who has noticed this? Did I just discover something amazing or is this already widely known?

It's possible they are Maia & Borges sculpts, as I think M&B produced figures for both Schleich and Mojo

When the same figure is supplied to different brands, the definition of a knock off gets confusing.
