Mojo Fun: New for 2021

[Thialfi]

@suspsy I got a reply saying "May". Not when in May, but May it seems 👀

[andrewsaurus rex]

that does look pretty good......but  pre pro's always do.  I hope the production model looks as good. 

Anyone know the dimensions?

12.8 x 3.8 x 7.6 cm (LWH) per MiniZoo

Thanks.   About 5 inches long by 3 inches at the shoulder.  Probably look a bit smaller than the Papo Smilodon.  Will be interesting to see how this figure looks in the flesh, er, in the plastic...

Magnificent figure. I have not bought Mesozoo for almost a year now but it seems to me that I am going to make the exception when buying that rare figure of an extinct carnivorous mammal. Mojo has done a good job, if he is bigger than his Papo counterpart that means that he will be the most phenomenal of all of his kind made to date. Only remains ... Rebor's.

I goofed when I made my post......it will probably look a bit SMALLER than the Papo Smilodon, which is about 6 inches long and nearly 3 inches at the shoulder, in a crouch.  There probably won't be much of a size difference between them but I would guess the Papo will look to be the larger animal. This is assuming the manu's quoted dimensions are accurate..

On the other hand, what size of Papo smilodon do you mean, the first version or the second, that is, the tawny smilodon of Papo I suppose it will be the second version since it is much smaller and the prehistoric mammal figures of Mojo do not stand out much for its size except for the deinotherium.

I mean the one without the mane.....i'm not sure which order they were released. 

So, it's my belief that the new Mojo figure will look a bit smaller than the Papo Smilodon figure which doesn't have a mane..

I haven't bought a Mojo in over two years, but I "may" (pun intended) have to acquire this one.

Well then it will be of a more acceptable size, although everything we discussed is only an assumption. You have to see the prototype in photography, video and have it in our respective collections. He is the most attractive figure of that prehistoric carnivorous feline made to date and is only surpassed by his Rebor counterpart from my point of view.

That it's a little smaller than expected doesn't traumatize me anyway, I see that that Mojo smilodon is great and I would honestly be worried if it wouldn't be on my shelves in the near future. Magnificent figure.

if scale is important to you, I am guessing the Mojo figure will be about 1/18 scale for a Smilodon populator, which was the largest of the 3  Smilodon species.  Of course, it can represent the other 2 species as well (gracilis and fatalis) in larger scales.  From smallest to largest the three Smilodon species were: S gracilis about the size of a leopard, S. fatalis about the size of a good sized lion but with a heavier build and S. populator which was about 4 feet at the shoulder and was larger than the largest tigers alive today.

Here's an approx. size chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smilodon#/media/File:Wiki_Smilodon_Size.png

Minizoo says that the Smilodon is expected in July.

With me, Minizoo will have a buyer's insurance. Thanks for the info.

Thanks, A @andrewsaurus . 1/18 makes this a useful addition to a roughly 1/20 scale Cenozoic collection.

[andrewsaurus rex]

well i'm guesstimating the size so we need to wait until it's released and in someone's hand to be certain; but I think there's a good chance that it will be 1/18-1/20 scale.  Hope so, I've got a 1/18-ish  s. gracilis (ania smilodon) and s. fatalis (safari smilodon) so it would be nice to round it out with s. populator.

[SidB]

Yes, A @andrewsaurus , it makes sense to take a chance on this piece, because we get so few prehistoric mammals and also because Mojo has a good track record with its Cenozoic mammals. Preliminary pics indicate a fine looking product.

Minizoo has the Smilodon.

I really hope they don't sell out before they get the remaining CollectA toys in sometime next month!

Thanks for the info, I just purchased one. Shipping was reasonable too.

[Shonisaurus]

Will it be available soon in a store in Europe, that is to say in the EU? It is a very beautiful prehistoric mammal and perhaps one of the best of its kind along with that of Rebor.

The Mojo Fun Smilodon will be in stock @Everything_Dinosaur in the next few weeks or so.  Glad to hear that this Smilodon is being well received.

@Everything_Dinosaur will this be around the same time as the second batch of CollectA? I'd buy it with them if so. Same if any f the PNSOs I am interested in arrives same time.
