Rebor: 1/35 Scale Carnotaurus sastrei "Crimson King"

[Reptilia]

What are you talking about when you say that "they also did not tell us the truth about the Dunkleosteus"? And why they would simulate a damaged prototype? What would be their purpose? Rebor is a company which sells a product, they are not internet trolls or simply bloody awful people like sometimes are depicted on this forum. I don't want to offend anyone, and certainly not you Shonisaurus, but this sounds a bit like a silly and pointless speculation. Is it possible that everything about this company gets always interpreted with so much suspicion? I'm not Rebor's advocate, but come on, what's the point?

[Takama]

Rebor has done some silly things in the past.  So much so that the got banned on hear.

[Reptilia]

Ok, old news. Now what would be the point in simulating a damaged prototype on Facebook?

That's just the problem, they are internet trolls. Have you seen how they respond to criticism on Facebook? They curse and swear and post insulting memes. Nothing they say can be taken as the full truth.

Additionally, while they should have nothing to gain by destroying their own prototype, one must admit it's quite convenient how with them being what 3-4 releases backed up a product happens to be damaged in shipping forcing them to postpone it.

It's also a great opportunity for REBOR to reboot their product, especially since the Carno generated a decent amount of criticism fairly early in the design process.

People's relationship with Rebor is odd at best. I think it would require me quite an emotional involvement to be always that edgy and suspicious on my opinions about something. And it's a toy company we're talking about, so go figure yourself.

As I said I don't gain anything in defending Rebor, and I'm not doing so, actually, I just thought the idea of them damaging one of their prototypes to make a joke (or to find an excuse for the delay in release, as you suggest) to be plain silly. They'd must be total idiots to do something like that.

Plus I don't see where they would have lied about the Dunkleosteus, given they didn't even announced it but simply showed a picture of a work in progress sculpture. But since I don't keep track of every post and message they drop on their Facebook page I must have probably missed something.

It's also a great opportunity for REBOR to reboot their product, especially since the Carno generated a decent amount of criticism fairly early in the design process.

To be honest the criticism came from the very same side that had to complain about basically all of their past models. I don't see them need to put on such a pantomime just to retool the Carnotaurus and try to please their haters, they should be fairly confident that it'll sell as much as all other previous "awesomebro" theropods in the line.

Is not that a Rebor joke?

Remember that they also did not tell us the truth as to the dunkleosteus. It can be a simple joke or mockery of Rebor. That company is somewhat peculiar in its way of behaving, so I do not discard anything. I can not believe that such a fudge has been committed with the prototype.

It is simply speculation. In the past Rebor has said and commented things that were not serious, for example when they were criticized their figures in his day and were angry representatives with the forum said they would make a triceratops with plaques like stegosaurus, Chimera and put it as if they were going to do it with box and everything. I do not have the link but that's true. So I would not miss anything about Rebor.

That was the Terribliisaurus germanicus and it was an April´s fools joke Shonisaurus.

Dorsal view of the Carno revealed on FB.

[CityRaptor]

Well, that is not a Disney Carnotaurus.  The base it is standing on also looks like it could be rather hot.

[Shonisaurus]

Well at first sight the carnotaurus looks good. But as always Rebor with his secrets always tries to reveal all the details of the figure at the last minute. What would be appreciated if his figures were cheaper, how interesting that the figure did not carry that wrapping (which is the box) that makes the figure more expensive.

On the other hand in April they said that the figure would be revealed. But I'm really sick of so many theropods. I hope they soon make the dinosaur herbivores they have promised

[Halichoeres]

I like the color scheme. Shame about the sinuous tail. This will be easy to pass up despite the attractive paint job.

[Derek.McManus]

So the rumours of Rebor's demise have been slightly exaggerated!

Dorsal view of the Carno revealed on FB.

I think that looks very cool. I am looking forward to seeing more pictures.

[Silvanusaurus]

Is it supposed to be standing on Lava? Admittedly the colour scheme of the figure itself looks very nice.

[Dilopho]

I have no intentions of buying this but it's only due to money issues.
This looks...great! Sleek pose characteristic of a fast predator, lovely lava base (! lava is so cool !) and a great colour scheme, kind of like in JP.
On image alone I'd give, like, 4 point something out of 5 on design!

[Derek.McManus]

It's certainly a very striking and dynamic model!

[stargatedalek]

I think it's based on the JPS2 Carnotaurus, nice colourscheme but I won't be getting it. The neck and tail are just so crooked.

[Dobber]

Ok I have to say I'm a bit confused by what people are having a problem with regarding the tail. Back in 2015 I asked about the CollectA feathered T-Rex's tail, which has a much more pronounced "Zig-Zag" to it than this or another release that has recently been shown (can't remember which company) that people are critiquing...but when I asked about the CollectA's Rex everyone said there was nothing wrong with it. Am I missing something?

Here is the thread, about half way down is when I ask about it.

Carnotaurus' tail was rather less flexible than Tyrannosaurus'.
