Rebor 1/35 Crocodylomorpha: Deinosuchus "Meta" and Sarcosuchus "Lica"

[Reptilia]

Really, it is a reference to Metallica? There's an "L" missing, it doesn't make any sense. And how Metallica would relate to crocs? Did they ever wrote a song about it?

But it doesn't have a proper sense. There's a lot of awesomebro names to choose among metal bands, they might as well call one "Metallica" and the other one "Slayer", or "Sepultura", or whatever else. Why "Meta" and "Lica" omitting a letter? Did Rebor officially say the names stand for that? If so they are the silliest monikers choosen so far.

Glad to see they fixed the head!  This could be the first Rebor I get, but I'll still need to see some photos of the final product, whenever that comes out.

Is the tail intended to be bendable?  I see a distinct break between the tail base and the hips.

Hasn't been confirmed. They are experimenting more and more with bendy wires, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were bendy.

[Reptilia]

I hope it won't be bendy or articulated, except for the jaw, otherwise it'll be another pass for me.

I can't wait for this figure to be released! Always wanted a detailed Deinosuchus and/or Sarcosuchus in my collection!

Update on this old topic, in case interested people did not know:

Sorry,

I dug the Rebor Facebook a bit,
and apparently their Deinosuchus / Sarcosuchus has been cancelled:

( Look at the comment from Rebor).

Lets hope other manufacturers like  Nanmu or W-Dragon eventually decide to make one.

Not much of a loss, I guess. I prefer the Safari Sarcosuchus more, though, I think Deinosuchus is still in need of an update.

[SenSx]

Well I think it is, no one has even made a 1/35 Sarcosuchus.
The Safari one and even the Papo would not fit in a 1/35 collection 

I'd much prefer that over all those overdone Rexs, Spinos and such...

[Flaffy]

PVC cancelled =/= Vinyl cancelled.
Remember how the 2 crocs were transferred to the GnG line?

The Safari one is In 1:35 Scale, According to the Sculptor,  It looks a lot smaller for two reasons

1 Paul Sereno's 40 foot estimate is out of date, because a new Scientific paper from March 2019 by Haley O'Brien et al. puts the max TL estimate at 31 feet

2 REBOR Tends to OVERSIZE there models. Just like Almost Every company that gives there models a Scale Ratio these days.

Since we're talking about this again, can I just say these are some of the worst names Rebor has ever given their figures. Like, if you're gonna give them musically inspired names, why not "Elton" and "Suzie"? I guess that would just make too much sense.

I suppose that for Rebor the deinosuchus and sarcosuchus represented a great economic risk and even more so in times of serious economic crisis. I understand Rebor. For Rebor, it is preferable to sacrifice its two prehistoric crocodiles than to sacrifice more profitable figures from a commercial point of view such as the tyrannosaurus and spinosaurus. I understand Rebor. Courage Rebor! The important thing is that we get out of this pandemic and if possible both Rebor and the rest of the toy dinosaur companies and businesses in general survive the economic crisis that is going to unfortunately happen after the passage of this horrible pandemic and the oil war .

Meta the Deinosuchus Hatchlings are sold out so yeah this is happening😆

[Bread]

Glad to see it's happening, but hopefully it won't be a long wait. A lot of releases happening so I may forget this one sadly....

[Shonisaurus]

I also wish to add to my collection a fully representative deinosuchus and sarcosuchus in my collection, Rebor is the preferred candidate, I am glad that they are planning to make those crocodiles, I see that deinosuchus is projected and I hope that sarcosuchus also enters their plans. I'm very happy about it all.

[SenSx]

Great !
I hope they won't be oversized though.

I'm using the safari Sarchosuchus and the Safari Aligator as a Deinosuchus in my collection right now.
I wonder how the rebor will look like compare to those.

[suspsy]

It's nice to see a Deinosuchus with a relatively more accurate skull. Shame that the osteoderms are all wrong, though.
