That is the Beeze knees.

That is the Beeze knees.

Was going to comment about how good this is looking but I don't think I can top this.

[Joliezac]

I was on the fence about this figure due to size but wow that looks so insanely life-like! I used to have toads and their eyes look just like this! Rebor really knocks it out of the park when it comes to textures and details. I think I can totally see myself picking this guy up. I just wish the Giga, Spino, or Yuty would be released also...

[Rayeknor]

Looks about as realistic as the deinosuchus figure, I predict another 10/10

[stargatedalek]

I'll believe it's releasing when I see an in-stock listing. REBOR has burned me before.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

looks nice.

It's hard to get excited for products from a company with such a controversial reputation ngl.

Especially with new allegations from W-Dragon's sculptor about Rebor's poor behaviour in the past.

Wow, you stay classy, Rebor.

I've found REBOR very unpleasant.  The one thing that affected me the most from them was when REBOR addmited telling sellers to not stock Vitae products just because Vitae didn't take REBOR's advice regarding a factory owner.  I was hoping that REBOR had come to an end after that post from a little while ago, but clearly no.

Lower and lower!

I don't really get these comments that say that Rebor is getting worse since the one in the image says "many years ago" (a cursory glance at their X page shows that they've been with W-Dragon since at least 2019, so this would have to be yet more time before that) and the Vitae incident is also not very recent. I also feel that this story about Rebor harassing retailers and trying to get a random guy's home address to "personally educate" them just because of a comment about the accuracy of a figure quite suspect, especially since Rebor has only started caring about scientific accuracy relatively recently, and at most it's probably just some rogue member. Although they have demonstrated rash behaviour this kind of stuff really borders on gang-like and I'm wary to believe that a well-respected (maybe not here though... lol) company would go to such means to defend their (back then) barely existent scientific accuracy.

Honestly, it does not need any of these allegations about inappropriate behavior etc. in order to arrive at an informed impression about the attitude of Rebor as a company. The behavior of the Rebor representative in this forum is fully sufficient.

[Turkeysaurus]

All i care product and the price to be honest.

REBOR pretended to care about accuracy from the start. And they were actively vicious and vindictive about many peoples complaints regarding those claims at the time. Look up the REBOR Yutyrannus thread here, though I don't know how much of it is still there.

Given what we've just recently seen from the apparent owners public behaviour, I don't think "rogue" member is a likely scenario, though it could indeed not be representative of the whole team.

Years ago, I strongly opposed Rebor. Because actually, many of their designs were too similar to the cinema monsters for me. Meanwhile, my view has changed, because I see Rebor as a small company with European roots that has managed to survive for 10 years and yet obviously still has to fight hard for it time and again. How difficult that can be, I was recently able to see in the figures for new models at another company. Rebor has already taken many intelligent measures to optimize packaging sizes and thus shipping, with clip-on tails, color and shape variants in the details and an elegant packaging in black and white.
Accordingly, the Rebor model range is a bit of everything for me, including some of the company's personal preferences and certainly some sales considerations. Some of it is pure movie merchandise for Jurassic Park and Jurassic World or King Kong. Some of it, like the Zombie-rex, is pure shock fun. The laboratory sets are great. "Teeth" are overrepresented and there are always new tyrannosaur variants in particular. Some of them are closer to science and many are just spectacular.
So for me there is no continuous line and no absolute primacy for the accurate reproduction of the state of research. I have some absolute favorites like the Ceberus clan, the Diplodocus and the T-Rex "Kiss" with lips. And there are plenty of designs that other fans need. But hopefully they will continue to exist so that the company hopefully survives. And then from time to time delivers designs that also inspire fans of accurate representations.

 I want that Beelzebufo. The person who made this cannot be a bad person .

 I find these EdenBuster "Me too" statements quite peculiar .
 And as always - I'm not interested in what a person (if it is a person) I don't know says about another person I also don't know.

Separating art from the artist goes both ways.

I understand and agree with not holding the actions of the REBOR company and representative(s) against their products, and I similarly hold nothing against those who enjoy or purchase REBOR products. Heck, I might buy the Beelzebufo if and when it releases, since articulated animal figures are hard to come by.

But we should also not excuse the terrible actions from REBOR staff because we enjoy their products. And calling someone an "it" and doubting their authenticity because they accused a company whose product you like of harassment is a disgustingly cruel thing to do.

 If you believe anything anybody writes on the internet - okay. I don't.
 I didn't call anybody an "it". I was just taking into consideration that it wasn't a real person who wrote this (AI or whatever).

"I'm not interested in what a person I don't know says about another person I don't know."

Many individuals throughout history have employed this exact same apathetic sentiment as an excuse not to stand up and speak out against all manner of bigotry, injustice, and wrong. It's a pity.
