[petebuster1]

@petebuster1. Please avoid disrespectful misrepresentative phrases such as "drivelled on". Thank you

Petebuster1 I hope that wasn't mocking.

Petebuster1 I hope that wasn't mocking.

no an apology

[petebuster1]

eh...see the accuracy issues with Jolly do not revolve around colors but rather three rather direct issues.
A) The egg in the sculpt is clearly and obviouly too small for the intended subject.
B) The egg is incorrectly shaped
C) The egg demonstrates no surface patterning, or for that matter where the shell is peeled , there is no internal structure or thickness for the shell either.
D) If I wished to get really picky I would ask why the dinosaur has pre formed horns while inside the shell....not an expert at the topic but I would assume the slightest movement of the head...and CRACKKKK goes the shell containing chick, allowing its fluids and moisture content to disippate, as well as allowing insects in. While this one is not something I am expert at, common sense would suggest without too much thinking that arrangement probably isnt going to turn out real well.
I do think Tyrannt queen also suggested the hands are incorrect, and from how they are shown it would at least at a glance appear the dinosaur has pronated hands.....but none of these problems with this museum accurate, highly realistic and well researched model have anything to do with its colors

oh come on get real did they really intend this to be accurate? NO come on, common sense please?  i haven't bought one its not my cup of tea but does it say it on the tin? you can takes things too literal

Fair enough. Though attention to accuracy is one of the things that distinguishes a great company from a good one IMO.

I'd rather have a less accurate model that is realistic and more appealing than an accurate looking toy or an over priced model that you'll get bored of looking at after a few months of walking past it and forgets it there (after the first few weeks of excitement)  but each to their own, their next ones out very shortly so we'll see how many holes you can all pick in that one. I dont work for them i just appreciate what they've produced for those suspicious minds

I am not seeing much honest seperation between their pieces that are intended to be accurate and those that arent and perhaps that is the issue. We have Yutyrannus the feathered tyrannosaur, that seems to be lacking feathers, A jurassic park style Tyrannosaurus with a rather badly mishapen head, and now Jolly the incredibly inaccurate hatchling. I am unsure where common sense enters this...the line has claimed over and over and over that everything produced is museum level based on the latest research and I am not seeing this criteria met in any piece, wether it says it on the tin or nor...(not sure what that phrase even means) To me it would be common sense to release semi accurate models if that is how you intend to advertise and if you not, then admit you are producing heaviy stylized toys. Then again common sense is just not common anymore is it?
So now in considering this companys offerings I am also forced to attempt to interpret wether they intend the piece to be accurate or not, and if they did , in what ways does it fail to meet the mark. ..........

[petebuster1]

Personally i don't worry about their claims, i will judge on the models themselves but at the same time they should make clear what they are producing and not say its something it clearly isn't, they are new and will have a website soon so lets see what happens. I'm sure they take on board what people are saying.

Is anyone else having trouble posting in the Rebor Utahraptor thread? It claims to need a response of eighty characters or less, but won't allow that either, then stops you from responding.

[Arul]

I have no problem with posting on there

This sideshow's little brother is not over yet..

[tyrantqueen]

The Ceratosaurus silhouette looks promising

[Gwangi]

I'm actually a little excited for the Ceratosaurus. If there is any theropod that can lend itself well to REBOR's style it's Ceratosaurus. Carnotaurus too I suppose but I think they would have a greater chance of messing that one up.

Indeed, much like Papo, I think Rebor can do an amazing job on scaly dinosaurs (I would love to see a Herrerasaurus or a Panphagia from them). This Ceratosaurus could be very cool (as long as it isn't based on the JP3 one, that is) .

[Patrx]

Hey, that could be pretty nice! Ceratosaurus certainly lends itself to REBOR's sensibilities more than most dinosaurs. Continuing the trend toward really bulky legs, though.

[Concavenator]

Is that Ceratosaurus really official?

[tyrantqueen]

Yes, it's been posted on their Facebook.

Weird, if it continues, pm me. 

[Concavenator]

That Ceratosaurus looks pretty awesome at least what we've seen of it.

[triceratops83]

Weird, if it continues, pm me. 

Thanks. My curiosity's satisfied now, that Ceratosaurus looks like it might be Rebor's hit theropod. I think their detailed sculpting will be more suited to ceratosaurs rather than ceolurosaurs.

[Megalosaurus]

This is a bittersweet flavor to me.
For one side, I love ceratosaurs.
For the other side, Another theropod? 4 theropods vs 1 ceratopsian is not fair. Poor Jolly. And this  nontheropod is  only a limited edition, so its not part of the regular line.

I'm glad that REBOR is throwing several figures per year, so I hope they start producing other types of dinosaurs soon.
