At face value it looks nice; curious what avatar_DinoToyForum @DinoToyForum thinks about it!

Glad to see Mojo keeping their trend of releasing one interesting release per year. ;)
Interested to see what Dr. has to say about the figure too.

This is only the first prehistoric reveal for them this year. Perhaps they have more in store?

The first Mojo figure I'm interested in purchasing since their 2013 mammals.

I'm pleasantly surprised, you can tell it's a Cryptoclidus! They've clearly referenced skeletal reconstructions. My overall first impression is very good, all the broad strokes are correct, I'm impressed! Of course I'll have some minor nitpicks about some of the finer details (elements of the head, for example), but I look forward to adding this to my collection!

Mojo's 2024 wildlife line consisted of new moulds while their prehistoric line was all repaints. Now their 2025 wildlife line is all repaints and we just got the reveal of this Cryptoclidus. Perhaps this is Mojo's new strategy, doing all repaints for one line and new moulds for another, then alternating each year?

On the other hand, we only got one new prehistoric toy in 2021, 2022, and 2023, so maybe this is it.

Oh wow that's exciting! Could maybe do with a more subtle blue (well we'll see how it looks in hand) but the sculpt looks pretty good and we've LONG been overdue a Cryptoclidus toy (I'm surprised there wasn't one after WWD)

I'm not sure about this- I found an iguana and a bearded dragon at HL that are new and I am certain they are new for 2025 sculpts and not exclusives like with Schleich. Just waiting on the announcement of those and whatever else they might have.

Great!!! Then I'll add it to my intended purchase list, too!!!!

Looks pretty good. We're long overdue a Cryptoclidus!

Very glad we got a proper figure of this one from someone. Loved this plesiosaur ever since WWD, but it has been ignored for so long on the toy market.

Well, that's a surprise. I'll definitely be ordering this one. Haven't had a Mojo figure in my collection since I ditched their okay-for-the-time Dunkleosteus.
