Mojo Fun--New for 2020

[Gwangi]

If I came across the Mandschurosaurus in a store I might buy it, but that's it, I'm not at all excited about any of them. I will say that they do seem to be improving overall, baby steps. Most of these aren't "bad", just boring compared to what else is out there and what I already have.

[GojiraGuy1954]

Honestly the Mandschurosaurus and Troodon are looking really nice in those images. Probably some of Mojo's best I think, and a step in the right direction. Not so much for their other figures though. They just look like more of the same.

Edit: I was meaning specifically those in the part 2 blog post by Everything Dinosaur.

In regards to all, I have to say those two, and the Baryonyx are probably my favorites of the ones they've put out for this year (I think the Ankylosaurus is quite adorable, but it sure is based on an outdated reconstruction of sorts). Looks like the production samples are looking pretty good this time around too in terms of paint apps, if that video is anything to go by.

Another edit: I wonder why the Giganotosaurus was left out if the rest were sent to him?

The Mamenchi looks nice

[Shonisaurus]

The mamenchisaurus, mandschurosaurus and troodon look magnificent. Honestly they are the ones that interest me most. On the other hand the tyrannosaurus and spinosaurus of Mojo 2020 do not look bad.

The baryonyx is beautiful and on the other hand the brontosaurus and brachiosaurus of Mojo 2020 I see them with indifference. Its brachiosaurus is better than previous versions but both that figure and Mojo's ankylosaurus, stegosaurus and triceratops do not show much interest in my case there are other better ones in the market, besides the figures are too small, I would have liked a larger brachiosaurus Bullyland brachiosaurus type with that size maybe my opinion on that Mojo brachiosaurus figure would be much more favorable.

Mojo brontosaurus is a obscure dinosaur figure in the toy market but I honestly keep another replica of another brand.

The allosaurus is perhaps the weak figure of the group and honestly the new "army" of news from Mojo is much better than other years and in this case fortunately they are the real dinosaurs (not the images of the prototype) and they leave sincerely much better favored with the details of painting and sculpture the mandschurosaurus, troodon and baryonyx than its prototypes and that sincerely are the ones that I like the most along with the mamenchisaurus.

New news from Mojo, a new triceratops for the year 2020 will be commercialized. This was not mentioned in the batch of figures of 2020. I pass the message of Mojo from Facebook and the link,

Leave the other triceratops figure this year in shame.

Here's the picture @Shonisaurus mentioned:


Not bad honestly, probably the best Mojo Dinosaur ever. Though, the head seems a little small.

[Faelrin]

It's not perfect, but wow that's above and beyond what I would have expected from Mojo. While some figures are sadly still retro looking, this is certainly one of the more accurate takes on Triceratops, perhaps aside from Safari Ltd and PNSO (and the Beasts of the Mesozoic ones). The front digits appear to have been done correctly (fourth and fifth are small and clawless) and the integument is represented here, for the most part, on the sculpt. I think only the head (cracked horns, lack of keratin on the head, perhaps the size of the skull is too small), and back digits have some minor issues, but other then that, that's really nice.

[suspsy]

Two new Triceratops in two years. Huh.

[PhilSauria]

Yeah, pretty good for Mojo - it's going on my list. Can't resist a new Triceratops - just as well I have the new mazzanine level on my Triceratops shelf.

[Shonisaurus]

I pass a link of the video about the new Mojo 2020 brontosaurus, for those who are interested in this obscure dinosaur figure, considering that most of the toy and resin figures focus on the apatosaurus. The video is from Andy's Dinosaur Reviews:

Yeah, a must have for me too. It'll go well with last year's model. Getting the front digits basically correct - that's a breakthrough!

[Halichoeres]

This is one of Mojo's most impressive lineups ever, except some of the repaints. I think they'll make good additions to some collections. I generally only collect one figure of each genus, though, and unfortunately none of these rises to the level of replacing the exemplars I already have. Mojo's improving, but not quickly enough to keep up with other companies.

You have admirable self-restraint!

Ha ha, more like I have no self-restraint and this self-imposed rule is the only way to fool myself into limiting the scope of my collection. I've gone to some pretty crazy lengths to acquire figures of rarely-represented species, though.

[tanystropheus]

I am only interested in the Mandschurosaurus and that's assuming it looks like the promotionals.

[Loon]

If have to see a review of it first. It's not a species I have, and I could always use more hadrosaurs. Though, I sincerely doubt any of these will look as good as the promo images.

[Shonisaurus]

I would like the figures marketed of these dinosaurs to be the same as the promotional images. It was frustrating especially the year 2018 with respect to the real images of the three baryonyx, giganotosaurus and deinonychus theropods of Mojo.Their sculptures were acceptable except for the giganotosaurus that was much more crowded than it appeared but the painting sincerely discouraged any buyer included child and I say it with all the sincerity and respect of this world.

[bmathison1972]

From feedback on the forums, Mojo is notorious for not living up to promotional pictures, extant and prehistoric (although the one 2019 figure I got of theirs was good).

I picked up one and only that one from them this year, and it was good too - that was their new Triceratops model. Hope that the new one (not the retro offering) also lives up to its promise.

New Baryonyx
Big feet.

[SidB]

Though I hate "clown feet", my preference being a base or a tripod, if absolutely necessary (since designing stable theropods seems to be a generally elusive target), this decision seems to be one valid option, if Mojo's primary market is casual buyers who are not selective  collectors.

Otherwise, it looks quite okay, though not serious competition to the Favorite and CollectA models. I bought Mojo's T-rex JP-type model of a couple of years ago, and its over-sized feet are tolerable when hidden by foliage of one sort or another. The same could apply here, IMO.
