@Over9K how did you manage to get his mouth to stay open that wide?

@Over9K how did you manage to get his mouth to stay open that wide?

I stuck a bit of BluTac putty under his tongue, and pressed it down onto the part of the jaw hinge under the tongue.

If you pull the lower jaw down as far as it will go, and use something to lift the back of the tongue, you'll see a sort of horn that is part of the upper hinge. I put the BluTac on that, and then pressed the tongue down onto it. It lasted about 5 minutes, long enough to take the pictures. You can get 80% or 90% of the same result by just propping the mouth open with a bit of stick. Leave it for a few days and when you take it out, the mouth will very, very slowly return to it's mostly closed state, but you'll have time to take photos.

Of course, if you wanted it permanently that way, you could just hit that hinge horn with some Gorilla Glue and press the tongue down on it.

Just noticed Kiss is back up for pre-order on BBTS (sorry if this was shared before and I missed it). Expected arrival is October.

Enjoyed the dramatic musical background.

Guess who's having a comeback? And this time as the Prehistoric Planet one. Pre-orders up later this week (according to them).







Rebor also gave an update on the upcoming Beelzebufo figures. Stock images are done, but will be revealed once pre-orders go up.

Edit: You know I've never actually noticed the PP T. rex has those rosette markings before, until now with Rebor's take on it here. But yeah they really are there on the design (looking at screenshots from the show). Really interesting they gave it those sorts of markings.

Well now I have to buy it...

[Duna]

Oh, how cool is that! I love the head.

[Joliezac]

Ok this is an instant purchase for me!! I love my Kiss dearly but I've been dying to get a Prehistoric Planet version. Yes yes yes!!

[SidB]

I wonder if this new iteration of 'Kiss' comes in two pieces, like the original?

I would assume so. Personally I really like that Rebor does that because it saves on shipping and space to store the boxes. I like to do outdoor photography and it is so much easier to transport Rebor figures as opposed to others because they come in such a large package.

Oh my goodness gracious that color scheme is incredible...AND it has the bulk we've been looking for. AND LIPS. Christ, I might just get two of these.

Rebor having troubles? And yet they release one of the best pieces that they've ever made? Hopefully things are going smoothly because I LOVE this. I might just sell my old Kiss for this one.

God, boycotting Rebor is getting harder and harder lol, I think I may just get this if they actually decide to release it lmao!

[Carnoking]

Winner!

[Tattu]

Niice! I have the PNSO Wilson and abide by a self-imposed rule to only get a single specimen for a given species. Also, really not bothered with the exposed teeth and other complaints on the PNSO. But this release is making me reconsider...

[Paleo Flo]

Personal taste: I don't like the nose.

The announcement comes to my surprise: was Rebor not closing the gates?

[thomasw100]

I believe that PNSO will surprise us sooner or later with a lipped T. rex that will top everything.

Maybe that's gonna be the christmas offer...

*murmurs to self:* I don't need another T. rex, I don't need another T. rex, I don't need another T. rex...
