As far as I've heard, the Mojo 2013 releases should be out in late August.

Someone should really explain seasons to them--specifically, when might zoos and museums be most interested in having the stock on their shelves? (hint: when the most customers are there--which is rarely the fall).

The Longhorn looks good in the catalog but.



Its a big cartoonish disappointment

I don't think it looks that bad. "Cartoony" (basically meaning stylised) is only bad if the anatomy is off. Maybe the sculpting style isn't to everyone's tastes, but I don't see any glaring errors. I'd have preferred a more realistic, detailed look, but I guess that's down to personal preference.

The Phat Capybara was quite stylised too, but ended up being decent.


They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell....

Oh myyy, I hate to say it but Schleich's version is much much better looking than this one :)) Good to know, it is now officially off my wish list...

 :o I refuse to believe that this is a 2013 Papo sculpt until I see it for real .... it just doesn't look like one.  ....... really disappointing.
