I'm looking over to my adorable little Mojo platypus and wondering how the same company is putting out such mediocre products this coming year...

Two more dinosaurs announced today; at least the Troodon is a repaint:






Saarlooswolfhound

The Bary is too. It was originally lime green.

BlueKrono

The Troodon kinda reminds me of the flipper-handed Compsognathus illustration.
I like turtles.

A Herford family. These look pretty good, I must say:








Saarlooswolfhound

Yes! Something new! The cow's face isn't quite hereford-y to me, but these are must haves for me anyhow.

Gwangi

Not bad! But I already have the Schleich Hereford and have no interest in getting more figures of the breed.

bmathison1972

Yeah I have CollectA's Hereford so I don't need another of this breed. But I think these three are very nice!!!

Not bad either, looks like farm animals are Mojo's best offerings this year. I still plan to track down the old Schleich potbelly though, so this one doesn't interest me either.

EpicRaptorMan

I'm guessing this means no more wildlife this year, aye?

Saarlooswolfhound

Those are adorable! Finally, a few farm animals from a brand. I understand most people are focused on wildlife, but this is exciting for me too.

These are interesting, they're in a different style now.

sbell

It looks like Mojo is finally getting into toob sets.

They're... let's say they remind me of early Safari toobs.
Although I am curious what that ray is supposed to be.

bmathison1972

Thanks Sean; here are larger in-post images (will update OP as well):

@sbell - honestly, the ray looks like a spotted eagle ray without the spots painted!  :o

I won't get any of these. I have narrowed my insect collecting and the insects and spiders here are all way too generic (some of them look like old Toy Major sculpts!)

Saarlooswolfhound

These almost look like the rubber Safari minis, is there any info on the material?

I had hope for the ray as I thought it might might represent something different... but the perceived coloration is probably lighting.
The forward pectoral positioning makes me think it would be Aetomylaeus of some kind, not Aetobatus, but it's more likely generic sculpting.

I just realized...they put a fennec fox in the woodlands toob? That's a choice alright (like they don't also have a red fox?)

And just gliding past the usual confusion that what are essentially holarctic (NA and Europe at least) animals aren't wildlife, but every company seems to do this
