Grab N Go crocs sounds okay to me.

Newbie here:  what is the difference between vinyl and PVC in dinosaur models?  I understand polystone does not warp, but can break.

PVC technically is vinyl (polyvinyl chloride), but in the context of toys PVC usually means solid molds like those used by Papo, Schleich, Safari, Favorite, etc. Vinyl usually means hollow, often two-piece molds like those used for Kaiyodo Dinoland, PNSO's Huanghetitan and Ceratosaurus, or Sega. I hope that helps.

Which leads me to wonder,   Would such an Abomination have a place with the Idominus, Indoraptor and "Tyrantegosaurus" on the blog ? http://dinotoyblog.com/2016/03/23/tyrantegosaurus-predasaurs-dna-fusion-by-simba/

Thank you, that makes sense.  I trust neither is safe from warping?  I am more than slightly annoyed by some of my models napping all the time ....

The stiffer a plastic the less it tends to warp over time, but the softer a plastic the easier and more effective D.I.Y. techniques for fixing warping are.

Favorite Kinto figures are a great point of illustration; they are made from a super hard and stiff plastic so I've never had or heard of one warping on a shelf, but they can get warped during shipping, even inside their original packaging, and despite many efforts I've yet to ever repair one that was warped.

I hope not. That Abomination (for me) should not be considered a reviewable figure on the DTB, being more an alien figure than a dinosaur. Predasaurs and other ibrids are invented animals too, but they're still completely dinosaurs, so they can be reviewed.
(Naturally this is only my opinion).
Honestly, I prefear REBOR when it works on less monstrous models.

I totally agree that I would like to review Rebor's tyrannosaurus (vastatosaurus), the indominus and the two indoraptors of Nanmu Studio. They are fantastic dinosaurs but in reality those of Nanmu are dinosaurs manufactured by genetic manipulation and the vastatosaurus is a dinosaur that has evolved on the Skull Island where King Kong resides.

In fact King Kong of Rebor (when it is marketed) is still a gigantopithecus that has evolved.

Yeah, neither is safe from warping, but I think vinyl might resist warping a little bit more, given the same stiffness (see stargatedalek's post for that factor), just because it's hollow. Imagine a small hollow metal tube, and a solid metal cylinder of equivalent mass, and I think you'll agree the tube will be harder to bend.

[Andanna]

This is helpful and I appreciate your explanation.  I guess we will have to see how the Grab & Go line will perform in this respect.

Having said all of that, I got my man cave climate controlled, and the warping issue seems to have lessened.  I also bought a small diorama base for my Queen and all of a sudden, her health seems to have improved and she does not need that many naps any more.

[Renecito]

This will be my first Rebor. 
I guess it will look better with the fangs.

[Primeval12]

Any news on the price?

[Ravonium]

(nvm)

Constrictors don't have fangs in real life, so I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with that...

[Faelrin]

I think they said it will be 80 pounds. Which is like nearly $100 I think. They said it will expensive for them to produce because of the material used. This will probably have a limited production run too.

We said it should be listed for around £80 as the materials and the manufacturing cost a lot but we don't want people say something like "it's just a toy snake why £80 you are being so greedy REBOR" so the UK retailing price should be around £35-40, it will be a limited release because we'll be paying the difference with our own money which means the more units we make the more we'll be losing.

Also just want to clarify our products are not expensive from the very beginning, back to the early days we had fewer sellers and some scalpers were listing our products on eBay with prices doubled or even tripled so there's always a misconception going on saying REBOR products are expensive and REBOR is greedy. In fact our products are always in the £20-40 price range, products from the Club Selection line are slightly more expensive but are still below the £50 mark. The most expensive REBOP product by far is the Bony Bonnie statue which was around £60 but that's a large desktop model and we need to pay royalty to Eofauna.

Thank you for clarifying and correcting me on this. I sincerely hope I can afford this figure (aka be in a good financial state), depending on when it will be released, since I've been wanting this one for years (and well your many other products I'm behind on). Also thank you for not canceling this figure even though it won't fully pay out in the end for your business, giving fans a chance to still get a figure of this genus for their collections. Also thanks for doing some variants too.

Yes, my bad, I meant pointed sharp teeth. (I also made the same mistake on their Facebook page)

Those angry eyebrows are still really distracting and ugly.

Hey you think Rebor is watching our every move when we comment on this thread?

If so "I wonder if there's hope for G&G Rex and Spino by end of year or early 2020" 🤔

[Seijun]

I am thinking of buying the Tyrannosaurus Rex "Killer Queen" in the Plain color, but it is out of stock wherever I look. Does Rebor restock, or is this figure out of stock forever?
