Mojo lion: the best lion figurine at the market?

Well , yes, they are cheaper priced .

For their prices , they are decent models .

I would like to have as many lions as possible in my collections , from different brands , in different feel and poses . I love them all .

I love to display them all in one group .

These 2 lions have not come out well in the photos . May be they are non- photogenic .

What about an old 1980's NeoForm lion? I have one in my bedroom. It's represented roaring, widely "ambling". (In french, "amble" is the type of walking where an animal moves the two legs on one side at the same time, like a giraffe or a gnu).

Are those a sort of soft rubbery material? I think I have one.

Yes, it's soft rubbery material. Do you also have the tiger?

No, but I think I have a Polar bear as well--do they have an NF stamped on them?

Yes, they have.

To get back to our lions, I'd say you're also a bit severe with the Bullyland one. After all, its pose is original and nowadays, you don't get many "Made in Germany" toys on the market anymore!

I guess I have NeoForms, who knew? They are kind of weird looking to me.

And honestly, I think it is rather ethnocentric or disingenuous to determine that 'better' and 'European' are automatically synonymous. There are a lot of terrible Schleich figures from the German days, and Bullyland has a lot of misses as well. On the Asian side, I don't think anyone would deny that Japanese companies like Kaiyodo and Kinto can make some amazing figures--even if they then produce them in China. Plus, I have plenty of really cool made-in-China figures that are worth more to me (and possibly to collectors) than much of my German Schleich stuff.
