REBOR general discussion

[Rathalosaurus]

I mean just a touch of fuzz. Like this:

[Shonisaurus]

I guess unfortunately polyresin, ie a material brittle.

So in my case and for reasons of space, and being a great figure ... saving me money.

REBOR's Jolly is made of polystone and is not brittle at all. It's actually quite hefty for its size.
The newer hatchlings look 'organic'.

For me nothing unwrap the triceratops Jolly was laughed out of the egg-shell, without being dropped or even the floor, I had to glue together dentures that have assured me that they are the strongest in the market, and fortunately I made it fixed.

Therefore I disagree with that figure not contradict fragile and forgive.

Do we know whether Velociraptor hatchlings were precocial or altricial? Because that would make a big difference. A robin is born mostly naked, but a chicken is born fuzzy and ready to run.

Best I can suggest there is this...regarding eggshell that comes to market, we get lots of broken and shattered small pieces but very little for egg halves or larger chunks for some reason...

Precociality is supposed to be ancestral in birds. I think there was evidence of it in troodontids.

The names may be punny, but I kinda like them.  I think I like Lock and Barrel a little more than Stock.

[Arul]

Wow can be separate  cuteness overload !!

[tanystropheus]

I'm assuming the MSRP will be $79 -120
based on weight, Jolly is 880 grams (retail price of estimated $65)
Hatchlets are 1300 grams, and while the package includes 3 models, the weight alone suggests that it will not sell for triple the price ($195)
weight based pricing comes to $95, however packaging costs and total number of parts will bring the pricing up to $99
However, REBOR is free to price the models however they please. Reasonable expectations would place the pricing bracket at $79-120 (price could theoretecially be positioned at the lower end of the spectrum depending on whether the eggs use hollowed material)
The REBOR Club Selection line also seems to sell with limited stock.

[Dinomike]

I find them cute too! I hope the price won't be too much!

[joossa]

I am disappointet. Why aren't they just even a BIT feathered?

The most direct answer here is because Rebor didn't want to. It is what it is.

It looks as if I've estimated the price of the model correctly. The hatchlets are part of the Club Selection Line (Limited Quantities, n=1000) and will be priced towards the lower end of the price bracket as I've mentioned earlier.

Surely these are effectively 'unofficial' Jurassic World tie-ins? There's no reason for them to look quite so 1993 otherwise. Velociraptor was feathered like a bird; it wouldn't have had scaly chicks.

[CityRaptor]

Given that REBOR claims that their obviously scaly "Y-Rex" is just molting, they might as well claim that those are like other naked bird chicks.

That's the thing, though - they're not naked, they're scaly (which I know is your point). There's been a tendency for Rebor models thus far to look very '90s, but these take the cake.

The Club Selection Line (as well as the upcoming REBOR Oddities Line) are not part of their Museum Class collection.

The New Yutyrannus by Shane Foulkes also seems to have the same level of feathering as the REBOR Y-Rex.

No, Foulkes' has more. The only thing that is similar is the fineness of the plumage.

I don't think they can really be excused for pumping out figures that are 20 years behind even (by now) the majority of popular reconstructions, just because they don't claim 'museum accuracy'. I loathe the likes of the Papo Oviraptor and Schleich Velociraptor on the same grounds - they're just screamingly, brutally wrong.
