Mojo Fun--New for 2020

I ordered the Mandschurosaurus last night. It's quite big according to the description - 25cm.
In the end it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens, but that humblest of all God's creatures... the Tyrannosaurus rex.


Shonisaurus

I bought the mandschurosaurus, spinosaurus, mamenchisaurus and Mojo troodon on four separate orders. I pray to God and to Life so that they do not impose tariffs on me. The other day I received the two spinosaurus from Nanmu Studio and fortunately they did not require me tariff rates, but with the hostile attitude that www.correos.es and adpostales are taking I do not get illusions, although I know positively that this unfortunate situation happens to us in all countries of the world. I hope they do not impose tariffs on me.

I think that I'll wait for the DTB reviews to come in, though I'm more optimistic now about a number of these figures.

I will not post the photo due to privacy concerns, but we ARE Getting two paint Versions of the Ankylosaurus, Mandschurosaurus, And even the Tyrannosaurus. There is going to be a Green version of the new Tyrannosaurus now

Shonisaurus

I suppose it is very profitable for brands such as Mojo, Rebor, Nanmu and other companies to take out several versions of paint for both the collectors and those who want to choose what type of dinosaur with their version of paint they want.

A pretty decent attempt, though the sculpt's a little crude looking.

So, I'm confused, are both versions of the mandschurosaurus going to be released to market? According to Everything Dinosaur's YouTube video, the one with brown markings is a prototype, so is the more bland one the official release?

avatar_Stegotyranno420 @Stegotyranno I also like it a lot, in fact I received it two days ago from the Australian Minizoo store and it is a pretty good and decent figure far exceeds its previous version of the year 2018, but one of the defects that I see in the giganotosaurus are its oversized feet although I understand that many brands of toy dinosaurs make those oversized feet serve as support and sustainability to a toy dinosaur figure like this 2020 Mojo giganotosaurus. It is one of my favorite figures by Mojo next to the troodon ( figure that from what I have seen has had little success in sales) and the mandschuosaurus that I think is a very good figure. Now I am waiting for the tyrannosaurus rex and the brachiosaurus to arrive and I sincerely believe that sauropod is the sauropod figure best made by the Mojo brand. Honestly, Mojo giganotosaurus is superior to other toy dinosaurs like Schleich, Bullyland and Papo with an abyssal difference.

Mojo has significantly improved its production especially since 2019 with its dunkleosteus and triceratops, but spoiling the production that year with the tropeognahus.

On the other hand I regret that the Mojo mandschuosaurus prototype (special version) is not available in the online sales of dinosaurs I like that prototype more than the official version.

I'm looking forward to your first review. Enjoy the process of research and writing.

Just realized the mojo allosaurus is based on a Todd Marshall painting. Look at the skull simmilarity




Sim

I see the similarity but I don't think the figure is based on that painting.  I think it's that both artists have a rugged style to their work and the animals represented are similar.  The animal in the painting isn't even Allosaurus, it's Neovenator.

Im aware that it is a Neovenator

Other than very superficial aspects, I don't see a similarity. If there's a figure that's actually based on that Marshall piece it's the Favorite Neovenator.

avatar_Loon @Loon, I'd say that you'd nailed that one. I have it and other than the cranial shrink-wrapping, it's a beauty of a figure. Wasn't cheap though. Mojo, despite its improvements, has a way to go before it can do sculpts like Favorite.

Am i really the only one that thinks these Mojo figures are absolutely terrible? I mean, it's almost hard not to laugh.

While Mojo figures are definitely not the prettiest, they sure as hell are better than the abominations that Schleich puts out year after year. (excluding the Vlad sculpts)

I have all the new Mojo 2020 dinosaur figures (I bought them in Minizoo) and I can affirm that they are his best figures made to date. Perhaps they are not outstanding figures but they are above the acceptable and even bordering on the remarkable. Mojo 2020 dinosaur figures are the same as those of the prototypes. Which is an improvement with respect to the Mojo 2018 theropods and it is more the brachiosaurus, mamenchisaurus and brontosaurus give their Mojo diplodocus a thousand turns.

The spinosaurus is a thousand times better than the initial spinosaurus. On the other hand, Mojo tyrannosaurus rex has a certain resemblance to its Papo counterpart although obviously its quality is inferior. I am honestly very happy with the new Mojo 2020 figures.
