Grab N Go Giganotosaurus when
@REBOR_STUDIO

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Honestly the painting of both figures (the pair of dilborosaurus by Rebor) I see a little unreal and too fantastic.

I don't see it's anything more than say CollectA has done. It's also a more detailed/realistic paint app then a normal toy.

If it is true, what you say but the colors are a little baroque. I would have liked some more realistic paint touches. That does not mean that they are some great pop art paleoartistic figures of dinosaurs. It is also true that Collecta usually adopt those colors in many of its figures and I respect the philosophy of both companies and I even share them but perhaps with a little more conservative colors, both dilophosaurus would have been left with some touches of more authentic painting comparing them with the big ones and medium current animals. I did not mean to offend anyone, it's just an opinion.

No offense taken or intended.  Just stating my own take on what you remarked on.

[DerbesSchuhwerk]

Those Dilophosaurus are just depressing knowing that those tasty 'Grab N Go' figures are waiting around somewhere.

Indeed.
Is there any news on the 'Grab N Go' figures? As far as I am aware of the known pitures, I like the sculpt of these figures more, than those exaggerated scaly and overdone detailed figures.

[tanystropheus]

I'm actually a bit confused. The Dilos don't have that characteristic REBOR look. In fact, I would say that the pair resembles Carnegie style toys minus the overtexturing.

[Fenestra]

I'm still  wondering why Rebor keep creating models with such crude and repetitive texture along the whole body..
Too much cheap 3D textures on Maya or ZBrush software ? Come on..   

I've been wondering the same thing, their newer models look nowhere near as good as their early ones. I would've grabbed their killer queen in an instant if it was textured like their original rex.

I agree, not a huge fan of the repetitive over-texturing of these newer models. Maybe because the individual scales are too big and/or too deep? The similarly shaped and sized scales causes a lack of distinction between body parts/regions imo.

Would've been nice if the details were closer to their source inspiration.

I totally agree.
Too much texturing hurts these models quite a lot. They would look a lot prettier with less or even smoother skin. It would probally benefit the paint job as well I think. Nothing wrong with the colours. But because the pattern looks like a child drew it on a cobbled pavement with crayons, because of those immense scales, hurts the overall figure.

Did anyone know when the grab and go Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus are going to come out, I'm sick of seeing the same jp things over and over again

[tanystropheus]

REBOR did something rather interesting on Facebook. They have printable sheets of Dilo frills! They claim the paper texture better approximates what the frills would look like once attached to the model(s).

Originally Rebor had commented on their post that they didn't include frills for copyright reasons. I can't seem to find the comment anymore.

I can understand why. Frilled Dilophosaurus is a JP exclusive. No other franchise depicts Dilos with frills. However, having printable sheets of frills that are not labeled should be safe.

[stargatedalek]

A few other franchises have had frilled Dilophosaurus, though they typically differentiate the rest of the body from Jurassic Park's far moreso than REBOR has done.

Oh okay, I wasn't aware that there were more frilled raptors. I do think it is good that REBOR is staying on the safe side but then again, I don't really know all these other companies get away with copying JP (e.g. Nanmu, Papo, Itoy etc.). Perhaps. no one really owns the rights to a generalized dinosaur design (even though it really isn't too generalized).

  I must admit besides the Dimorphodon and the Acrocanthosaurus diorama I wouldn't have bought any of REBOR's Dinosaurs if PNSO had been there earlier.

  Their (maybe) upcoming "grab and go" figures look promising, but beyond that I'm not very interested in REBOR anymore.

[Flaffy]

The excessive texturing really brings thing figure down imo, as with most Rebor products.

[Shonisaurus]

Honestly the camouflage paint of the two dilophosaurus of Rebor is very beautiful but honestly I do not seem figures as spectacular as the acrocanthosaurus "Hercules", the two tyrannosaurs "Killer Queen" and the carnotaurus of Rebor.

The crests are not as spectacular as I thought a little thick from my humble point of understanding. On the other hand the positive thing is its articulated mouth with wet tongue, but honestly I do not see both figures as striking as other figures of Rebor including the ankylosaurus and velociraptor. I have to be honest in this case.

The crest and legs and in general the modeling of the two dilophosaurus I do not see them as finished as other theropods of the spectacular brand of collectors' figures. I would have liked some less thick ridges and more realistic legs based on the great saga of JP. I have to be honest but I would be lying if I said something else. I really like the camouflage color of these dilophosaurus but sincerely I am more interested in other beauties of the Rebor brand that are to come.

I apologize in advance to those members of DTF who have offended but would be a complete hypocrite in this case in relation to the brand Rebor with respect to what I think of these two dilophosaurus.

[Dino Scream3232]

Here my full review on the Rebor Dilophosaurus pair. I like them. Don't think they are their best offerings but still a good product. The bases are fantastic and one of their best. I did address the Killer Queen stabile issues in the review. And how you can use the bases on the Queens. I'm not a fan of the texturing. Just wanted a different "feel" for these dilos. https://youtu.be/stgCVWSt-L4

[Shonisaurus]

Honestly I like the Rebor brand but for reasons of savings I will not buy them and the same goes for the four dinosaurs of Nanmu Studio (two sinoceratops and two carnotaurus). I like them but I want to be practical and honestly it does not take away my sleep not having them independently that they are very well sculpted, but I understand that the set of the two dilophosaurus as well as the other mentioned dinosaurs that are only sold on eBay seem to me excessive prices and in My case has spent a lot of money and I prefer to dedicate it to other tasks such as collecting dinosaurs from time to time. In this case I behave as in the fable of "fox and grapes" I can not buy although I like all the dinosaurs and prehistoric animals that are sold in the market although they are fabulous as those two dilophosaurus of Rebor.

Anyway, I congratulate you for your brilliant presentation of dilophosaurus very well modeled and extraordinarily painted (it is the most remarkable and positive of the figures) with some formidable war paintings and at the same time attractive and attractive.

Maybe it is sleeping after a long difficult fight with another T-rex...

[stargatedalek]

I wasn't tempted by their Spinosaurus before, but if that's going to be a base that it comes with, I might just get it.
