Rebor: 1/35 Scale Ankylosaurus magniventris "War Pig"

[Shonisaurus]

It would also be important for them to make a good chasmosaurus, arrhinoceratops, centrosaurus, anchiceratops or pentaceratops (except for the latter represented medium well in Schleich and good in Favorite) we do not have good representations of that creatures.

Ho-hum. I have the Papo, and no colour scheme is going to tempt me to this one.

I wonder why all their models are male, unless they're cutesy, sitting on a nest (Rose), or dead. It's deeply, deeply tiresome.

Would you purchase the model if it was renamed, "Daphne"?

The real reason the "War Pig" is male is because the testes are visible on the model.

Nope, still wouldn't buy it But I wouldn't buy it if it was named after Artemis, Athena, Hera or any other number of legendary female figureheads, either!! Maybe the trike will be better...

I hope so too, wasn't impressed with their dead versions so it will have to be a significant improvement

Well, looks like something is coming next Spring ...

I hope we'll see it by then. Hopefully the color reveal will be in the coming months too.

I obviously respect Rebor's philosophy but honestly I like more the herbivorous dinosaurs and for that I'm going to lie carnivores without articulated limbs (including jaws) and removable parts.

I do not doubt that it is a great figure that is brewing, but I prefer the time when Rebor made a dead triceratops in one piece.


Honestly the herbivores do not need to have members articulated from my humble point of view and without the intention of offending any member of the forum. To qualify, I bought practically the entire collection of Rebor except polyresin, but I would like to also make figures without articulated members as for example Collecta in its standard figures or its herbivorous dinosaurs.

It is my humble opinion.

[Reptilia]

I hope Rebor won't mess with this one, their first proper herbivore dinosaur must be good or there will be more complaints. Meanwhile the male Triceratops is nowhere to be seen...

Wait, why are they calling this a 'war-pig'? It isn't even close to being a pig. I would understand naming a Daedon or Entelodont a war-pig, but an Ankylosaurus? Although, it's Rebor we're talking about here.

[Reptilia]

It should be after Black Sabbath's song "War Pigs". Doesn't make much sense, it's just one of their random pop culture references. And sounds awesomebro, kinda.

[Shonisaurus]

The important thing and also positive on the part of Rebor is that in the end they will reveal an adult herbivorous dinosaur and that is a point to their entrepreneurial credit.

Either what Reptilia said or this guy:

[Reptilia]

Oh, where's this coming from? It actually is a cross between a pig and an ankylosaur!

[CityRaptor]

It's Ankylo from Dinosaucers. And yes, he also snorts while talking.

I said the same thing when this was announced. The idea of an animal with no visible teeth being named after an animal that's iconic for having really large teeth seems wrong. At least reserve the name for a Heterodontosaurus if you've got to name a dinosaur after a pig.

As clearly stated in the above posts, the 'war-pig' reference is with respect to Dinosaucers. REBOR is pop-cultural savvy, more so than the majority of members on this forum.

We really can't expect REBOR to be accurate in the nicknames department/domain. That's just asking too much. Nicknames are for fun. It's good silly fun. Way too many literalists on this forum.

Seems more in line with their crocs Meta & Lica

Wait, they're really called that?!

I still think it´s a reference to the Black Sabbath song. Seems more in line with their crocs Meta & Lica or the raptors Gunn & Rose. Dinosaucers seems too obscure for them.

Yeah, completely agree. Their pop culture references aren't 80s cartoons, they're metal bands and A Clockwork Orange.

Good point!
