REBOR 1:35 Tyrannosaurus rex museum class replica official photos updated!

[petebuster1]

I just got several figures in the mail including this Tyrannosaurus (also got the The large Sega Dino King Tyrannosaurus, Kaiyodo Yutyrannus,  classic Rex, and The special edition Feathered Rex...all awesome but sooo small!) Nothing really new to add that hasn't been said already. About the Rebor.  I think it is beautiful! The paint and finish are gorgeous, I LOVE the coloring of this piece. I do also agree with what others have said, that this is in some ways a missed opportunity for Rebor...to set themselves apart. I'm 39 years old and have been a life long fan of this dinosaur. I have been able to see many different incarnations of them (looking forward to CollectA's theoretical feathered Rex Lin a few months....so I'm no particular fan of the JP Rex nor am I against it either.  It seems as though there is a whole generation of new dinosaur-files that where born from that movie and thus are attached to that design esthetic. It's just that there are so many replicas emulating it that it would have been nice to see something a little more...different or "scientific". I obviously don't dislike the JP rex design as I bought this and already have a Papo, but I think Rebor has the talent and could've really done something special with their talent.

At any rate, it is a GORGEOUS replica and a welcome addition to my growing collection. Good job Rebor, I hope to see more great replicas in the future. One nit picky thing I did notice, though, is I CAN see seems on my model, 1 extending behind the thigh to the base of the tail, another running the length of the underside of the tail, and another around the bottom of the left foot. I only mention this as it was advertised as seamless and others have said it as well...really no big deal to me.

Finally, after reading all the Rebor threads, and not wanting to stir up more crap, but, maybe instead of phrasing it as a "museum" quality replica and maybe instead use "High" Quality, they may be able to avoid some of the critisism that they have received. Just a thought.

I agree with your comments, i will only add that as i've said before they've only produced 2 with a lot more in the pipeline so lets see if they can change the mould with future models and see if we get something different. I would have preferred a non jp rex but its still very appealing.

Summarize, its better than papo figure. (Jurrasic Collectables)

[Megalosaurus]

I've just received my REBOR King.
It is pretty good. I'm prefering it over Safari, Papo, even over Battat. Pretty good job there REBOR.

I have only 2 complains now:
First is that I'm unable to open its mouth. I tried even with my fingernails but was in vain. Any advice?
Second, the base doesn't fit the way it was intended. I can't pose it like in the official photos. The only way it stands is if reversing the base.

No idea about the base..but the mouth has been notoriously hard to open on these from what I've read. Maybe they are closed before the paint dries?  People have managed to get them open though..I wouldn't use my nail though..maybe something with a soft tip that is strong and can be levered? Would heat loosen it up?

Everything Dinosaur did the hot water trick on a Papo Dilophosaurus with the same problem.   Perhaps a Hairdryer could work

[Dobber]

Yeah, mine was very hard to open the first time too. I think I used a spoon and just worked it a bit on each side of the mouth...a little at a time. Once you get it open the first time it starts to get easier and loosen up.

Hairdryer is a great substitute for water..less messy too. If it was exceptionally difficult a heat gun might also work.

I got mine to open after some coaxing and by pinching the lower jaw. It opened without using tools or any heat source.

Made a diorama for mine base a bit lacking but great model

[bruno]

apart from sideshow or expensive resin kits it's best out there an accurate depiction would have been even better, the paintwork is comparable with sideshow so let's hope they do an accurate version in the future

REBOR could always release a 'scientifically accurate' version of T-rex and give it a nickname like...say, "Sue" or "Stan" or "Jane". The same way they labeled the baby Trike, "Jolly" and the Acro is given the nickname, "Hercules".

[tanystropheus]

I also hope there is a new base (hopefully, sold separately) for the King T-rex as my model is beginning to show some signs of toppling over.

Rebor acro puzzle complete, in my opinion this figure is still the best of other rebor figure

Yup, they uploaded the entire image on the REBOR Facebook page! It looks even more impressive than the Ceratosaurus and we haven't even seen the base! They've come a long way since the introduction of the Y-rex.

Yeah the ceratosaurus....for the diorama base i think from the crratosaurus is the best until now

[joossa]

Just added him to my shelf and looks great. He is a bit wobbly... Does anyone know if the CollectA dead Triceratops or Stegosaurus fit nicely under the Rex's raised foot?

[Arul]

Parasaurolophus papo or collecta dead trike is good, but i think collecta dead trike is to small for rebor trex..

You might consider the older Carnegie or Great Dinos Triceratops on it's side.  I'm not sure either would be super stable though.

[joossa]

Thanks guys... Going to stick to it's base for now. I found a better positioning for it that's much more stable.

[Arul]

Wait i just noticed, papo vraptor v1 ??  great collection !! Haha
