02/03/15:

We will release a entirely new line called "REBOR Oddity" soon, one thing you can know for sure that is this line is definitely NOT kid friendly, such as dino fetus in jar with real liquid or dinosaur fossils replicas, this line will be the gathering of weird and frightening products, if use one word to describe this line, it will be "freakshow".

About 2015 Releases:

Keep making a real dinosaur rebor based on physical/scientific evidence 

We will release a few more dinosaurs this year then focus on prehistorical animal replica/Oddity/Club Selection line 

02/09/15:

We are planning a entirely new line called "REBOR Oddities", it will be the gathering of collectibles that related to fossils, specimens, fetus and other unusual elements; real glass, brass, wood and even liquid will be used to decorate these extraordinary models to create vintage feelings, then a little touch of modern technology will be applied such as LED lights or even USB cables!

This product line is still at the planning stage and we have no idea of what we can actually create, although the first product could related to this 1:50 Tylosaurus proriger fossil replica (yes, the one on the poster is a 1:50 prototype sculpture), which is inspired by one of the most famous and complete Mosasaur specimen. Anyway, we will show you something amazing, in time.

We will offer the most crazy ideas, most exquisite concept arts, most unique designs and most bizarre products to fans and collectors. Welcome to REBOR Carnival and it's time for the FREAKSHOW!

FB User: Will this new line be limited edition like "Jolly"? Hope no
Rebor: Nope~

07/01/15:

Just a quick tease, this is the beginning of a new line

FB User: How big it is !!?? Seriously consider it. Nice decoration!
Rebor: slim, light, portable, designed to be either displayed on the shelf or hung on the wall, just everything you need

05/24/16:

The tradition carries on! Tease 1: Look what's back on the menu?

FB User: Does it come with lights or is it just for the picture?
Rebor: What you see is what you get

07/13/16:

FB User: Wonderful but probably not same kind of prices than other REBOR things... ^^
Rebor: Oh you'll be very pleased when you see the price Should be even lower than Y-rex

09/15/16:

FB User: Seriously though, when?
Rebor: End of the month

Quite an interesting new release. I'm not so sure the market for fossil replicas is as strong as for 'in the flesh' interpretations, but I'm curious to see how it will sell.

[Viking Spawn]

I wonder if the oddities line will eventually have full skeletal desktop pieces?   This fossil/showcase line sounds very promising and could expand into something remarkable.   The Tylosaurus reminds me of something I just seen during one of my recent trips to the museum.

Thank you for taking the time to do all of this Joossa.   

[Fluffysaurus]

I love this one. Hope they will create more amazing stuff. I never forget they teased a site.
Also was a ammonite on the picture i thought. This one is a must have.

[Shonisaurus]

It seems to me that those precious fabulous fossil replicas are illuminated with LED lights which are among the cheapest in the market lights.

Rebor understand that even in that attentive. I congratulate you ... although I prefer paloartísticas reconstructions and a marine reptile from the Cretaceous as the mosasaur. The truth and truth are giving a good business image.

[joossa]

I wonder if the oddities line will eventually have full skeletal desktop pieces?

That would be pretty cool. I know there are some skeletons that are pretty visually appealing to me: like the new spinosaurus and dilophosaurus.

[Arul]

since the first teaser, im really really waiting for this beautiful piece. cant wait for this one. so 1/50, how long the size its gonna be ?

[Victoria's Cantina]

The fact that this will have LED lights illuminating the skeleton is what makes this really appealing to me. I can see it now, mounted on the wall behind my other REBOR dinosaurs.

I somehow missed this information.  Wow!  This will indeed be an interesting line!  Now I'd really love to see full skeletons on a base illuminated by lights for a true museum touch!!!   

[joossa]

Looks like Rebor has finally revived this... and it's looking pretty nice too! So Fancy!
See first post of this thread for all info.

Mods, can you please move this thread to the Rebor forum? Thanks!

[Victoria's Cantina]

Finally! Wow... this would look very nice mounted on my wall right behind my Rebor dinos. If it's successful I wonder if they will do further species.

[tanystropheus]

This is a must have. I hope it's not too expensive 

I'm pretty sure that even folks that don't like the REBOR aesthetic would find something to love here.

[empire3569]

I will admit, as someone who is really only a fan of Rebor's 1:35 line, this is pretty cool. Not too sold on the other two tease's from this line, but the mounted fossil is very tempting.... I can't imagine this will be more than like 40-50$

I would imagine a $79 price tag for this wall mount, especially because it happens to be backlit.

However, they could probably release it for $49, depending on the size of the overall frame.

[LophoLeeVT]

looks very promising!!!

[Arul]

Coming out this year woohooo! my last comment on this threat was almost a year ago. Glad this product will on the market soon

[joossa]

Looks like this will be available soon. Looks neat.

[Erwinonychus]

Instant buy. I think the potential of this line is awesome. Looking forward to see the berlin archeopteryx or other complete fossils from them.

Wondering what they're selling it for.

[Megalosaurus]

I like it a lot. Hopefully it will not cost too much.

[Mamasaurus]

This looks beautiful. I would love to see what they would do with the iconic Archaeopteryx, or any number of similar lagerstatten fossils
