Papo Running T-rex King Kong dinosaur review

[The Arc]

This T-rex looks closer to the V-rex in King Kong than it does to the Jurassic Park T-rex...  I think.  Although it's quite skinny in my opinion,  to the point where it looks as if it's starving.  I never really heard any complaints in this regard.  Am I the only one who sees that?  Here's a YouTube video I made on it:

I honestly don't see V-rex as much as I see a T-rex that got it's lower jaw busted in its youth.  It has a lot of indents into the upper jaw from the teeth and a lot of scarring.

[The Arc]

Good words-  Yeah now that you mention the lower Jaw,  I think that's part of what bothers me about it.  I still think this is a pretty good model and am certainly glad I purchased it..   I think I like the sitting model more,  the skull and jaw seems more JP like.

I can see the V. rex in this model and I said the same thing back when the model's first production photos were released. It's still mostly JP inspired I think but those teeth scream V. rex.


And yes, the model does have an emaciated shrink wrapped appearance. Certainly a lot of artistic license was taken with this model.

[The Arc]

I wonder if they'll have another T-rex model somewhere down the line.  Nice pic of the V-rex there btw

I keep this model's mouth closed at all times. I can't stand seeing the teeth when the mouth is opened.

[Dobber]

I agree with The Arc,  I always thought this Rex looked very skinny. That coupled with the large feet always makes me think it is a juvenile/subadult that is still growing and hasn't filled out yet.

Just based on the look of the head I've always assumed this was an old, battle scared individual that's probably missed a few meals.

[Dobber]

That too.

First thing that always hits me, though, is thinking of some gawky Teen that has the older face with a stupid mustache but is all lanky with big hands and feet because he is still growing. Lol!

I'm right there with yah dude. There is one tooth protruding from the bottom that just make it look ridiculous.

I think it'll look better with the older Papo rex's head. Been waiting on someone to do a proper head swap

[Dilopho]

I'm stuck between, when I have enough money in a few weeks, getting this one or the sitting one.
I'll probably get the sitting one, but I love the colour green....
Anyway, I think that this one has been clobbered by an ankylosaur in the face, and now his painful jaw means he can't eat for a while without pain, so that's why his teeth are out of place and why he's so skinny.

Kind of like my entry for last year's diorama contest!

Amazing photo  .

[Gwangi]

Thanks guys!

[The Arc]

Yeah that photo is sweet lolz

[Viking Spawn]

How did I miss that image the first time?  That is cool!!!   

[Dilopho]

Ok, I couldn't resist. I got the figure.

[Dilopho]

Here's my figure! Apart from some black splodges on the teeth, the detail is fantastic! I wonder why that one tooth juts out of the mouth. It even has a notch in the upper jaw to fit inside, indicating that this tooth has been here for a long time and probably caused the animal a lot of pain from digging into his top jaw. I wonder if this makes him so skinny, because when I play with him fighting the AAA Styracosaurus, I can't fit any part of the Styraco through the front of his mouth, only the side, because the tooth blocks it. He must be only eating meals small enough to fit into his mouth. Don't worry, rex, it'll fall out soon! Actually, I hope it doesn't- I like my figures to stay un-broken, and a fall from the table might remove the need of a dental visit. I recommend keeping this dinosaur away from edges.
