Rebor: 1/35 Scale Carnotaurus sastrei "Crimson King"

[Silvanusaurus]

Why is anybody concerned about the tail being unrealistic? This thing is literally stood on lava. Lava. Its safe to assume this isnt supposed to represent an animal that is subject to any laws of known science. If the eyes are glowing with an infernal inner fire, this might be worth getting...

[spinosaurus1]

carnotaurus v shaped caudal vertebra really restricts the amount of flexibility of the tail in exchange for  greater area of attachment points for larger caudofemoralis muscle.  it contrasts quite a bit from pretty much every other theropod.



not only does the top view displays that the tail isn't thick enough, it's much too flexible. with that said, that color scheme though 
not too critical of this,as i don't expect rebor to actully place as much rigor in scientific accuracy of their models,buti do like to see the finished result. digging the demonic hellspawn monster vibe that photo is giving off

Perhaps Rebor where inspired by the Flesh stories in 2000AD? Although they where Tyrannosaurs there was a family Old one eye, her son Satanus and his clone son Golgotha ( the place of the Skull)

[Shonisaurus]

Well, that is not a Disney Carnotaurus.  The base it is standing on also looks like it could be rather hot.

I prefer a satanic dinosaur to one based on the Disney version. The carnotaurus of the Disney film is a figure already stuck and repeated until the satiety in figures of companies like Schleich. At least there is variety and most importantly there is a bit of ingenuity and creativity on the part of the companies, although their dinosaurs more that they hurt to me are not scientifically correct.

Thanks for the info everyone   

I love learning new things about these animals.

Hmmm.... perhaps, the REBOR Carnotaurus represents some as-yet undiscovered abelisaurid with unique energy harnessing properties due to undisclosed, proprietary system of hydraulics found within the tail. Levity aside, I hope there is some light up function, either on the physical model or the base.

My favorite theropod. Will likely end up with two of these... one for home and one for work.

From this new view, it appears this carnotaurus shares many features with the Papo one; mainly the oversized and wide skull/oversized arms. Other than that the proportions don't look too bad, I like my Papo carno and assuming the full paint reveal looks as good as this tease Ill probably pick this one up too. And I agree with others; while the lava base certainly looks cool (and is VERY Rebor) it is a bit silly

The other thing that really bothers me, is that the Carno is literally in the exact same pose as the Acro, just a mirror image. Did anyone else notice this?

[Shonisaurus]

The carnotaurus told the Rebor traders that it would be marketed in April. And we are practically in the middle of March. I suppose they will soon reveal their image, at the latest in the last quarter of this month. Must be falling.

[tanystropheus]

Yeah, they are behind schedule, but I hope REBOR doesn't rush things. No hurries. Just deliver an awesome product.

I actually just messaged them about this, they told me that between the broken prototype and chinese new year (which they said stopped production for almost a month) that we should see full color pics of the Carno in April, because they only do full color pics of mass-produced products. I would assume this means that we should see a release most likely in May, at the earliest end of April

Well, for a long time, Rebor. I get the impression that the company is not doing well with so much re-disclosure of news.

Posted on their FB page today: "Carno next week, have a wonderful Easter everyone!"

I wonder if they mean the Carno himself, or just the promo pics? Looks like there are some 1:35 JP 'raptors in the works, too, though they're not my thing at all these days...still deeply uncertain about the Carno, but on the "yes" side of the fence at the minute, just for its sheer, brazen theatrics if nothing else!

Well to see if they are encouraged to market the carnotaurus Rebor company. I burn in desires to see what the finished prototype is like.

[Reptilia]

Rebor actually said there will be at least seven different raptors, all different sculpts and colours. They have already shown the promo for the next one, called "Sweeney". It appears the scale is the same as "Winston", so 1:18, but they've also shown a picture of the 1:35 version of "Spring Heeled Jack", which is confirmed in the 1:18 line. So maybe we'll have seven raptors in 1:18 and some of them in 1:35 too. That's insane, but I can't wait!

Unique sculpts and poses sounds pretty awesome. It was getting a bit ridiculous to have a shelf full of squatting Papo raptors 

[Reptilia]

Exactly. Papo keep on repainting their Velociraptor, but the overall detail and the quality of paint app gets cheaper and cheaper. Last year's green variant looked like a knock-off of the original version. Rebor's building up a brilliant strategy here, it's pretty obvious there's a market for JP style figures, for adult collectors who don't want Hasbro toyish stuff and can't afford high-end products such as Chronicles. Now, after those raptors, all we need is a screen accurate Dilophosaurus.

Both theropods are excessive it is as if every day we were given to eat chicken meat. What is said is absolutely excessive, but the important thing is that the figures are well made.

[Reptilia]

A couple of days before Easter Rebor said "Carno next week", and again any news regarding "Crimson King" failed to materialize this past week. That's what I find extremely annoying of them.
