Where'd you get the Mojo figures?

Cammy · January 11, 2015, 05:22:06 AM

Here are my latest dinosaur toys, stacked on top of my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pinball machine. I know they're bootlegs, but I still really liked the look of these cute Chinasaurs and bought three more of them, the Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Brachiosaurus (behind them are the Stegosaurus and Miragaia I got last week).

But what I am most happy about are the two amazing Schleich figures, the Quetzalcoatlus and Pentaceratops! These were both gifts from my best friend who knows how much I love Dinosaurs! The cute little infant dinosaur standing on a base is not made from plastic, but is a little painted statue (the ones that are always broken when you find them on the shelf in Chinese shops). I'm not exactly sure of the species, so if you can identify it I'd really appreciate if you let me know!

It's based on artwork depicting a heterodontosaurus. I have a couple ceratopsians from the same line.

Oh, I see now that it's not an infant but a small adult dinosaur. Thank you so much, I think I found the artwork you're referring to!

Finally, after three auctions, won this "Mcgrady" Triceratops. I'm assuming CM Studios. Anyone got this or know anything about it?

Photo directly from Ebay page.

It's smaller than his current offerings..but there may have been a time when he sold those early on. You could try emailing Charlie and asking?

I was just reading the old Stone Troll Studios thread, where they were selling Matt Manit kits and I saw this.

Have I scored a Manit kit?

tyrantqueen · January 11, 2015, 04:40:48 PM

They look similar but I don't think so. The Manit kit has a different base. If you look close enough, you can see little differences that set the sculpts apart.

Ahh, I think I should contact Mr McGrady, then.

Just got more stuff from Japan to feed my collection addiction (thanks Brett!).

Among other things, a few Capsule Q Museum figures, some Capsule aquarium figures, a few Yujin figures, more of the Takara sharks (another 6-gill! Secret eating goblin shark! Broken peg for a frilled shark...) and some more Kaiyodo Marine Reptiles & Triceratops figures--including 2 of the 'rare' green version. Most of these came from a single bulk lot from YAJ, but the CapsuleQ and Capsule Aquarium ones came directly from Brett (other than the Pitta bird, only my second Kaiyodo bird figure...). The mudskipper was a figure I've tried to find for a reasonable price for a while now.

Several of these are doubles for me, so I will likely be putting them up for sale/trade soon.

The lot also came with some other things--a bunch of Kaiyodo (?) Japanese fighter planes and two odd animals--a put-together salmon (made by Bandai) and an attack turtle...

I am looking for the green Kaiyodo Triceratops, if you're willing to sell one of them.

Fofer · January 12, 2015, 11:22:42 PM

I am! Feel free to PM me. Just so you know, I don't have the paper (but then, they're just generic anyway; if you have one, you have them all).

Been a while since I have posted anything, heh. I have another vid to post tomorrow with another recent acquisition.

good channel ignite444

ignite444 · January 13, 2015, 01:07:04 AM

Thank you! :>

Dinomike · January 13, 2015, 01:27:13 PM

Very thorough unboxing and a great clip ignite444! It always surprises me how some of the Carnegis are NOT tripods

Just got myself the Carnegie Albertosaurus. I repainted it though - will post it somewhere soon.

I love this company's models. Though I wish they would put their dinosaurs in more dynamic poses. The straightforward walking pose is so boring.

UK · January 13, 2015, 08:51:47 PM

Grabbed this wonderful bunch of Kaiyodo and kabaya amongst others. There are one or two very desirable figures but rarity in particular.... Can you see it?

Roselaar · January 13, 2015, 11:00:47 PM

Excellent lot! Personally I would say it's all very desirable.
