REBOR general discussion

[Syndicate Bias]

It's just my opinion but to me the REBOR T-Rex is a model where licenced Mattel Jurassic World products are more like toys. I could never see myself letting my young son play with a REBOR figure where as I wouldn't have a problem with him playing with the Mattel figures.

Are you the same person who said the same "gushing over mattel rexes" on facebook to that one kid always bashing rebor in dinosaur collection group?

I agree with your points but just curious

You know a good point some people made is that although rebor isnt making new dinosaurs other than jp stuff i think its got its pros for the market. Other companies are more expensive when it comes to a decent jp figure and rebor knows that they are filling in that gap of affordable jp dinosaurs. I dont like the t rex overall as it is(animal that is) but this is still something ill buy because i grew up with jp and it was my favourite dino until dino crisis 2 with the giganotosaurus. Nevertheless everyone has preferences and this is one of them.

Nope, not me. Not really a fan of the Mattel figures. Not saying they are bad, they just aren't the style of figures I'd collect.

Honestly, im happy this model will not require the aid of a pathetic rock to stand.   Or the need to shell out another $40 to get a base that should of came with the King T.rex in the first place.     

[Shonisaurus]

He would be in favor of dinosaurs not coming in such luxurious boxes but in sealed or packaged bags. Thus the buyers would find the product cheaper.

And without removable bases it would be great.

This was posted in Rebor's facebook page. I hope that this gets released soon.

[Shonisaurus]

Thank you Discrasia for the photography. I suppose that perhaps Rebor has planned before so much "drought" of his figures a massive production of prehistoric animals.

In regards to the titanoboa Rebor comment on facebook if it will be of several colors as the ankylosaurus nicknamed "War Pig".

[Reptilia]

I wonder how durable something like this will be. How long before the first bits of paint or even plastic start to peel off?

[Mini Minmi]

Are snakes shapes more likely to peel? Or is it supposed to be entirely posable? I guess we'll see how the bendable tail of War Pig holds in the long run, I'm guessing they're using similar techniques.

[Reptilia]

I assume a fully bendable snake might be more tempting to tweak than other less articulated figures. Personally I would change its position more often than I'd do with the Ankylosaurus tail, for example. I don't know, gives me the idea of something prone to deteriorate.

A peel-able snake would certainly be a first among toys. It would great to see that Titanboa shed/molt.

[Reptilia]

I think that a model of a snake shedding its skin would be awesome. Of course without any articulation or other tricky feature, just a simple static figure.

Titanoboa


"tribute"

[Faelrin]

I'm going to have to see these both painted up to know if I'll truly end up liking them or wanting them. I hope this means they are both on their way to being sold sometime this year. Now if only they could do the same for the crocs and that TLW tiger striped raptor.

[Shonisaurus]

It seems that the production of Rebor figures continues to advance,

Despite the criticisms made in the forum against the Tyrannosaurus of Rebor, I see that it is one of the best theropods (if not the best) ever made by this company.

The titanoboa and tyrannosaurus rex come with the miniature statues of David based on the figure of Michelangelo and the Venus of Milo respectively. Do you mean perhaps that these figures will come in some future included in the boxes of these dinosaurs? Time will tell.

[Dino Scream3232]

I really like this Rex. I know Rebor is always a hotly debated topic on the forum. My collection consists of both accurate models and JP style models for the nostalgia. Every since I've seen pics of this Rex I've had the idea to make a diorama of the road attack. Think of it as the poor mans version of the iron studios set lol.

[IrritatorRaji]

As much as I don't like Rebor..... I might pick up that Titanoboa....

[Shadowknight1]

Is it just me or does that rex's head look more proportionally correct than the previous images?

[Minmiminime]

You're right, it does seem to look a lot better in this image. I wonder if they've revised it?

[IrritatorRaji]

Oh yeah, definitely. It's way more obvious when you compare the pictures side by side.
