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~

Tease 2: We can create her, we have the technology.

FB User: I remeber seeing the little rex embryo in the pod? Is that coming out this year REBOR?
Rebor: Next year

In all honesty... I really like this. I used to make things like this myself, not with dinosaurs, but cryptozoological specimens. This could be much more interesting to me than Rebor's other secondary lines.

[Victoria's Cantina]

As weird and unexpected as this is, I must say I kind of want one...

[stargatedalek]

I'd really love a series of these, maybe even small enough to be keychain lights.

[tanystropheus]

I was planning on eventually giving my bedroom a minimalist but 'museum' type look. I thank REBOR's Oddities line for making the idea more likely.

REBOR should invest in the cryptid toy market, as well.

Have you seen Creatureplica's figures? Impeccable detail. But yeah, would be interesting if Rebor ever expanded into a totally different type of product line.

I WANT ONE!!!

Yeah, they look pretty good. But I think REBOR could do even better, especially in terms of their imaginative bases 
Skunk ape + swamp diorama. Ogopogo + lake diorama. Chupacabra + goats diorama. The possibilities are endless.

keychain lights would be pretty cute. It seems possible. They did do fridge magnets.

[LophoLeeVT]

you mean the ceratopsian head busts???

[Silvanusaurus]

I'm imagining this as life-size... but a smaller piece would be more practical and affordable I suppose. Imagine something like a fully preserved specimen of the famous velociraptor vs protoceratops entanglement, pickled in a jar, or tank, with all it's brutal detail intact!

[Arul]

Hmm...interesting, im wondering how small is this gonna be

for all the nit picky accuracy dino nerds out there - check out the hands!  They look to be supinated.

It lacks feathers and the skull should less boxy and more slender, so correctly positioned hands don't make this embryo accurate.
Gotta say, I like the concept of this piece. If the embryo was more accurate I would not mind having one.

Ya sure that's an accurate tyrannosaurus?

[stargatedalek]

An embryo wouldn't necessarily display feathers, even some birds don't hatch with them. It depends on how dependent infant Tyrannosaurs were as to whether feathers would be expected on hatch-lings/embryos.

Oversized feet and generally lithe proportions are sometimes seen in bird hatch-lings, which leaves only the skull shape weighing this piece down.

But this one looks like a rather developed embryo, which soon will break out of the egg. Shouldn't it had at least bit of plumage?

A lot of birds are born with absolutely no feathers. Although as I just realized the wrinkles covering it may be intended as scale lines rather than a preservation artifact of being preserved in liquid, which would be incorrect no matter what.

[CarnegieCollector]

Is this a real T. rex fetus, or is it just a rebor model?

About that, I just mean the lack of pronation in the hands would be a step in the right direction for Rebor.  Please correct me if I am wrong, but a baby rex is yet to be discovered?  I watched a doco where Jack Horner discussed that pachycephalosaurus and stygimoloch are really growth partners, so the juvenille skull is more slender and eventually loses the spiky crown as it grows into a pachy.  Whereas in the case of Nanotyrannus for example, Robert Bakker and Philip Currie's theory suggests that it is probably a new genus, however the argument is controversial as it could be one of three things. Nano could represent a baby rex, different species or separate genus, but with lack of specimens the argument remains polarized.  So I guess my argument is how do you now a baby rex indeed had a more slender snout?  perhaps it was a perfect replica of it's parents?  Just a theory and as I said, please point me in the direction of new or more accurate research as I would love to know more about juvenile rexes.
