OH MY GOD!!! I WANT IT NOW!!!

Killekor

[Derek.McManus]

Killekor...again with the captail letters, bold type and multiple exclamation marks...?

Clover looks like an interesting product for me since Stegosaurus is a favourite dinosaur of mine and I live in Ireland and will be celebrating its national holiday St Patrick's day. Depending on price I may well purchase one hopefully it won't have mould lines like the other Rebor Stegosaurus baby I purchased.

[RobinGoodfellow]

..no, another egg...?    Next step will be a dino-omelette..

This one has won me over, I will pick it up.

[Jose S.M.]

Aww it looks really cute actually!

[Flaffy]

Cute, but not my cup of tea.
I'm just waiting on the herbivores Rebor announced they would make.

Thanks for posting that!

I like them, but the eggs always look too small for the infants hatching out...i don't know..it bugs me.

[Reptilia]

I don't like these club selections, they were probably supposed to be cool limited items to rival Sideshows but they just come across as weird and ugly, in my opinion. If only Rebor focused on their main line we would have had more variety of figures at this point.

[Flaffy]

I remember then mentioning making a diplocaulus?

[Victoria's Cantina]

I actually think this looks really cute. I didn't expect them to do another one of these so soon after Bony Bonnie, but I'm sort of glad they did even though I only own the Velociraptor Triplets. Stegosaurus is my favorite dinosaur, so I wouldn't rule out getting this. (I passed on the baby Stegosaurus though.) The ferns behind the egg are a nice touch. Should her plates be almost nonexistent though?

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I like them, but the eggs always look too small for the infants hatching out...i don't know..it bugs me.

Actually a combination of two factors...the embryonic hatchling is more developed and mature than it should be at hatching, as well as the egg being a tad small. The eggs themselves are not that far off in reality....for instance a segnosaur egg is barely 3 inches in diameter, however the baby it is showing looks to be more than a fresh hatchling to me

[acro-man]

that's more like it.
No already-born infant posed in a broken egg sensation any more.

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Sideshow at least were a little more in scale I think, they felt more correct anyway :



I think were I them, I would ditch the egg all together and just make a 1:1 infant dino.  That I would buy.

[Reptilia]

If they were to make a 1:1 infant dino it'd be necessarily a small one. Out of these only the raptors could be around the right size, I guess. Cool idea though.

[empire3569]

I mesaged REBOR about the ferns in the background (since no plant/backgrounds are present on any of their other eggs) and this is what they had to say about them:

"Those are wire inserted bendable PVC ferns, they are not removable"

I was kinda wishing they were removable, but Im interested in seeing how bendable they truly are

[tanystropheus]

How developed are the plates and spines supposed to be on a stegosaurid hatchling? Perhaps, the ferns are supposed to give the illusion of the plates

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Unsure if we have any embryonic or hatchling stegosaurs to allow a definite as to how defined or no the plates or spines might have been however....you can use some rather basic logic to infer to some degree at least. Consider a young unhatched stegosaurus within an egg....the last thing you would want or have is bony armor projecting from various points behind yourself.....reason being as you move or stir within the shell you do not want anything that might pierce the shell, or the structures within it until such time as the embryo is fully developed enough to hatch out. Said Logic could then be applied to the triceratops hatchling , with its projecting horns .It would see most sensible such structures would remain subdued or not fully calcified to prevent damage to the host egg from within. Otherwise one wrong move, and valuable fluids, and egg content would be spilled as well as allowing intrusion from the elements, insects and predators.

[suspsy]

Yeah, I can't imagine a newly hatched stegosaur's plates being little more than smooth little bumps on its back.
