REBOR 1:35 Utahraptor ostrommaysorum Museum Class Replica “Wind Hunter” [updated]

[TJ_Terrorsaur]

I purchased a small piece of 2mm diameter clear acrylic rod for mine.Doesn't bother me and its not really noticeable unless your up close

Where did you buy the clear rod? I'd like to buy one for when I get mine from Dan's Dinosaurs.

Maybe we can use a strong straw to replace it ?

Got it from ebay,you only pay for the amount you want.

I'm looking around youtube for similar complaints. One particular user seems to resolve the leaning problem at 2:30 of the video. Perhaps, you have to jam in the peg? I don't speak the language so it is unclear to me whether he had the model for a while or if it was recently unboxed.

Mine is jammed into the foot as far as it will possibly go, in fact it's lodged tight enough that I'd have to put some effort into removing it. It still leans.
You can right it for a few minutes by bending it back, but after that over the course of a few hours it leans to the point of resting it's front claws onto the floor.
I've bought everything of Rebor's so far but very disappointed with this. Still, I've more hope for their next two offerings.

Wingrave, who on ebay did you buy from, do you have a link? I've only been able to find quite expensive options for just a small plastic rod, maybe I overlooked something.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of the REBOR Utahraptor by PixelDan:

On Facebook, REBOR stated that the first look at Acrocanthosaurus will be in May .  When I asked about when the Utahraptor would be in stock on BigBadToyStore, they had this to say: "They will have Jolly in stock this month and fixed Wind Hunter in early April "

Wahh may, still 2 months ago but no problem we can save our money little bit longer

An easy fix to Utahraptor's problems:

An easy fix to Utahraptor's problems:

Just paint it brown to look like a stick.

[tanystropheus]

no transparent butterfly clips?

..I'm building a little trunk around wires so it'll look like a dry plant...

Honestly, apparently seen I refrain from buying the utahraptor of Rebor, so I see only artficialmente remains standing.

That does not make me any grace, I prefer a resin replica dinosaur in these cases, although they are more expensive.

Resin kits are gorgeous.
But I have no time to assemble them and no talent to paint them properly..
Utahraptor from Rebor is a beautiful model and its stability problem is not a "so serious" issue to me.
Personal point of view....

..fix finished...

Very nice, though I do not like the Raptor.

I'm having the same problem. I can't seem to find a very small one. All I'm finding are 12" or so ones.

Great idea Robin

Thank you. It's easy and inexpensive. And it works well...
