Rebor Club Selection: Velociraptor Triplets "Lock, Stock and Barrel"

[Arul]

Are the left eye looking forward but right eye looking back ? Barrel or stock ?

[Hathaway]

It's Barrel. I've taken a couple of photos to illustrate. His right eye looks back while his left looks forward.

Yes i see it when i compare the pict from official photo and the video from ED, looks weird but maybe its relate with eyeball movement of dinosaur itself, moved by muscle and nerve, did anyone in the forum had discussed this before ?  Or rebor is intend to do it like that for some reason maybe, the worst is its a production mistake. i dont know still no further explanation from rebor about this model after released

I think it has to do with the nictitating membrane (third eyelid) that a lot of animals seem to possess. It gives them that look for a second or two.

Review by jurrasic collectables is out now, what a beautiful piece good job rebor someday i have to get this model in my hand...

Hathaway, in jurrasic collectables video you can see the same just like your photo  jc said barrel on alert position haha

From what I understand Birds have a very limited range of movement with their eyes if any at all. I wonder if dinosaurs or at least Ceolurosaurs had the ability to move ther eyes.

Maybe it's meant to look that way so if you display Barrel from the other side, it'll be looking a different direction?

Also, which one of the triplets was meant to be the female?  I know REBOR said, but I can't remember.

And I think it's funny how Everything Dinosaur claimed that maybe the hatchlings look the way they do because young dinos don't always look like the big ones, and that makes sense, young Tyrannosaurs look very different from the adults.  However, using that as an example, the skulls of Tyrannosaurs go from slender to a bit more robust.  ED is seemingly suggesting that these Velociraptors are doing the opposite, going from a more robust skull to something a lot more slender.

That's good then, glad it's not a defect. An interesting decision to make though. I suppose because the eggs can be positioned however you choose, there are more options with where the raptor is gazing. I wonder what Rebor's official answer is though.

You never can be sure whats happening behind you, when you are a hatchling Velociraptor

[Shadowknight1]

Got my raptorlings the other day, will get some pictures up soon-ish.

[Dilopho]

I'll never be able to afford these, but they looks so adorable! I think it would be cool if someone painted them red and added the gooey egg bits to make something like this:

Got my little ankle biters in today from Dan's Dinosaurs and they are so so cute.

[TJ_Terrorsaur]

I actually went and glued my babies to their base....I didn't want to but they were all doing a balancing act I was nervous. So I did what gave me piece of mind. I also never planned on holding them. I was going to do a Own Grady cosplay with them, but I didn't want to risk any of them getting broken.
They still look great though. I love them.

[Victoria's Cantina]

The cuteness finally got to me. I ordered these little beauties from Dan's Dinos as a Christmas gift to myself and found the perfect spot for them on my shelf near my other Rebor dinos. I must say that these cuties are so lovely! Very detailed and realistic. I love them.
