REBOR general discussion

[Viking Spawn]

I happen to like Rebor and never had any issues with them.  In the correspondence I've had, I treated them with respect and got the same in return.  It seems there are those simply like to stir the pot which has gotten really old already.  I said my peace on their Faceboook page and have no need to repost it again here.

But I think Robingoodfellows has summed up my feelings about the whole thing as well. 

If someone here doesn't like them for whatever reasons, I can respect that and so be it.  I just get tired of the same "cliche" rants/bickering over and over. 

There are plenty of other things that can be focused on in this forum.  Maybe with this new subsection, those that don't like them won't have to be bothered with seeing threads about them everywhere else.

If REBOR would do a JP Dilophosaurus, without the frill but heavily inspired by the spitter, I would buy it in a heartbeat. The only thing I regret with Papo is that they didn't copy the dilo from JP back in their early days.

Ugh, no offense, but I don't ever want to see a JP "Dilophosaurus" again.  They didn't get anything about that animal right other than it stands on two legs and has a crest.  They didn't even get the shape right.

THIS! They also introduced that stupid frill that many cheap toys still spot up to this day.  It should not be used on a Dilophosaurus outside of the JP Franchise. ( The frill only exists in the movie version anyways, the animals in the novel did not have them. )

[LophoLeeVT]

it is one of the superstiotions about dinosaurus from the public media.

[Viking Spawn]

I think that is quite common knowledge that Dilophosaurus venom and frill were Crichton/Spielberg inventions, it is a bit different than the look and size of raptors, I guess. By the way I love JP Dilophosaurus, and JP animals in general, because I'm well aware that are just fictional creatures. A detailed spitter replica on par with those of t-rex and raptor by Papo is still missing on the market of the main and most affordable brands. Kenner and Hasbro toys don't really count because they are... toys.

I went through REBOR's record post just for fun (or boredom) and I've found out that they have claimed to have prototypes or plans for a lot of species, didn't know they had anticipated so many. Hopefully they will soon get back on track with the main line and not indulge on side projects.

Agreed!  I love their main line which I hope they don't ever loose focus with.

Wow, looks like I missed the whole Facebook kerfuffle a week ago. I thought Rebor had already fired their rather unprofessional rep? I guess not. I have wanted to support this company from the start but they make it very hard to do so...

[Fluffysaurus]

So a 1:18 scale Velociraptor is coming soon? Wonder how bug that must be. I am not very good in scale measuring. But that must be Papo size, right? Very curious about that. Hope it will be very detailed.

[CityRaptor]

Depends on if they base it on the real animal or the Jurassic Park depiction.
The Papo is 17 cm long, making it roughly 1:10. ( This varies depending on the individual ). Unless Rebor claims Velociraptor is Jurassic Park sized, it should be smaller, roughly 10 cm long.

[Fluffysaurus]

I dont have a clue on which one they are going to base it.Thankyou for the explanation  . Wonder when it will be teased.

[stargatedalek]

Actually I would expect a realistic one to be closer to 13-14 cm in full length given the proportions of the JP Velociraptor are very compacted.

This is off-topic but who is this [deleted user] guy on the previous page?

[Dobber]

I think it's CharlieP, though I'm not sure what happened or why all he deleted all of his posts.

Chris

Yeah, I've been wondering what happened.  Charlie P. was making good contributions.

[CityRaptor]

I think it looks worse in the Papo 2016 thread. But yes, what happened?

[Takama]

I just had a dream were Rebor just announced a 1:6 Anzu that's fully featherd.   Only to do somting stupid by making it include a head of spinosaurus as if it's one of those build a figure ploys to buy more of there sets.

[CityRaptor]

I think something like that would not be that bad if most of their models were more accurate and more affordable.

[Shonisaurus]

I think something like that would not be that bad if most of their models were more accurate and more affordable.

Fortunately dinosaurs and prehistoric animals Reborn begin to be cheaper. They are becoming more affordable their figures, for example fallen queen and dimorphodon (couple).

[CityRaptor]

It would still be rather steep if you have to collect 6 or so of them to complete a "Build a Figure". "Fallen Queen" is also for the most part just a better stand for the "King T-rex".

[Halichoeres]

I think it's CharlieP, though I'm not sure what happened or why all he deleted all of his posts.

Chris

Ah, that's a bummer.

[Dobber]

Yeah, I liked him. Sad to see him go, just strange that he deleted his posts before he left. The mystery makes me very curious.
