Rebor: 1/6 Scale Dimorphodon Male and Female: "Punch" and "Judy"

[ZaZZU2]

It's gonna be so awesome!!!

Yup! Really looking forward to these. I asked REBOR in their facebook page and they said that the male and female figures are going to be sold separately. Wallet's gonna take a hit again hehe

[Shonisaurus]

Rebor is exceeded every day I would see female dimorphodon as soon as possible, the truth and truth have to give up a lot in my case to buy these beauties of male and female dimorphodon.

Male and female can be combine into one diorama if i see on the rebor fb, but they will sold separately. The size is small, no need much space, this is a good stuff

[reinier zwanink]

I loved the first model but the 2nd one looks great to
Looks like il be getting all of them
Cant wait to see the real colors on them

[stargatedalek]

Very excited for these, they are an absolute must have for me! And I hope they don't hold back all the bells and whistles, I want to see that little gecko rival the likes of Kaiyodo's and Yujin's amazing geckos!

[Halichoeres]

Well, this gets better and better. I hope the lizard (or perhaps, sphenodontian?) is time- and place-appropriate.

Annoyingly I couldn't find an exact age, but I know geckos go back a long way, at least to the beginnings of the cretaceous. And those specimens were very similar to those today so its reasonable to assume they were not the first geckos.

Yeah, Cretaceogekko was a thoroughgoing gecko. I consulted timetree.org, which says that molecular estimates for the root of Gekkota straddle the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary. That would still make them a little bit late for Dimorphodon's time. There definitely aren't any fossils that far back, but there are probably animals assignable to the Scleroglossa. Anyone know what sorts of lepidosaurians, if any, were actually found in the same deposits as Dimorphodon?

So I see the female dimorphodon is attached in my humble opinion to the ground by a transparent bar that attaches to your body and therefore is related to male dimorphodon that sits on the branch.

Apart from this prehistoric gecko is part of the diorama.

I do not know if in the future this can be verified.

AWESOME!! Glad to see a wing spread pose too.

The two of them will make for an awesome display!   I hope the wing span is as impressive as it appears in the teaser.  Again, these are non-scale!!!

I'm interested to see the color dimorph...ism (sorry). Will they play it conventional (drab female, showy male), or take a cue from the phalarope?

Male on the left, female on the right:

I don't think that image shows her attaching to his base, I think it shows quite the opposite. Look at the base of the branch, the combined image shows the branch sitting either on or in front of her base.

@Halichoeres
That would be really cool, its always nice to see more diversity of muses! Everyone always thinks of the peacocks

Very, very keen observation!
Will modify the first post.

I'm expecting to see color differences between genders.  Rebor has done a great job with their selection of paints so far.  For a second there you lost me with the description of your image.  I think you meant that other way around?

[Shonisaurus]

This is by simple deduction. The male dimorphodon have more bright colors and larger than the female dimorphodon size.

Moreover the male dimorphodon as happens in the animal kingdom will usually be more impressive in terms of physical features (physical attributes, as with the current lion) dimorphodon female.

[Halichoeres]

Well, I brought up the phalarope by way of contrast. It's one of those species that defy our expectations, in that the female is larger and more colorful than the male (she mates with multiple males and the males tend her eggs in separate nests in her territory). More species than most people realize have this "reversal" of sex roles. I just thought it would be cool if Rebor also defied expectation in the same way. But if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on a showy male and drab female for this particular figure pair.

The Phalaropus lobatus claim to fame is the female being more elaborately coloured than the male. I think it would be great if REBOR did something similar, every one of the few times dimorphism has been shown the male was always shown as being brighter and larger, a change of pace would be nice.

*edit* Halichoeres beat me to it.

Is it known in pterosaurs whether the males were larger and more robust than the females? I was under the impression that with dinosaurs, several unrelated genus are hypothesised to have a female larger than the male; for example in the stegosaurs, tyrannosaurus and dromeaosaurs - the latter suggested since modern day raptor females are often larger than the males.

I just wondered whether any evidence on sexual dimorphism had been unearthed for pterosaurs.
