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

[Reptilia]

Awesomebro guys like hard rock and metal. Sounds badass, I guess.

They posted this on their FB. Looks like the tail will be bendy, thus it will not be accurate.



This reminds me of something they said on their Facebook.

We are not idiots you know...We know exactly how to sculpt scientific accurate dinosaurs, we just choose not to because we prefer the awesomebro style

you really think a team of guys with master degrees in natural science and engineering don't know how to read papers do research?

So I guess a degree in engineering and natural science means you know a lot about dinosaurs? This reminds me of that creep Bill Nye claiming he is a scientist because he has a BS in engineering.

Why are they so afraid to make dinosaurs that look like the real thing? It puzzles me.

[Reptilia]

Well at least you can position it straight and make it accurate.

[Shonisaurus]

I am honestly thinking of buying the ankylosaurus "War Pig" with removable and flexible tail. Sincerely this company exceeds in the realization of parts articulated sincerely is excessive.

I have always had the image of herbivorous dinosaurs in one piece (I am not in favor of jaws and parts of the body sincerely articulated). They are converting a company destined to collectors to a company destined more to children and I say it with all the respect to Rebor.

I respect them, Rebor has his own artistic license but I do not share his tastes. What I have said is that I am seriously thinking in case that they commercialize it, buy the ankylosaurus Rebor.

Yep, I guess that is true.

[Cephalopod]

Its about time They make an adult living Herbivore, i kinda like the awesomebrostyle. I grew up with it. Nevertheless i also collect accurate dinosaurs. Cant wait for war pig to create Some havoc Here.

And why are you so persistent in telling a private company what they have to do with their products? It puzzles me.
They are not afraid, they just found a very wide audience to sell their products, and it is clear that dinosaur geeks are not part of that audience. Accept it. It is just their policy as a company. if you don´t like the product, just move on. There are other companies too look for if you want accuracy.

I have never bought any Rebor figure so far...to me they are absolutely ugly. The JP raptors are the only ones I like, but just because they are what they are and I love JP. This one is more of the same. But you won´t see me here again and again and again saying how bad their stuff is. I just don´t care about it. Good for those who like their figures.

They did mention a while back that it would have a bendy wire tail. So is this one going to see the day of light after all, since they have more to show on it?

I'm just going to chime in here and say that Bill Nye may not be a scientist strictly speaking, but he's always strived to present science as accurately and honestly as possible, and he deserves to be applauded for his ongoing efforts. As such, he is the polar opposite of the REBOR staff.

Also, people who boast about their degrees like that are usually full of hot air. It's just like how Wyatt Earp didn't go around boasting about how he could outshoot anyone else in the Old West. He let his actions do the talking for him. REBOR's actions, or lack of them, speak louder than their words too.

Totally agree, even though Bill Nye is philosophically dense. It's unfortunate that some of his fans (as well as fans of Neil degrasse Tyson and Lawrence Krauss) are such huge proponents of scientism.

Bill Nye's a creep, what'd he do? Also, when has he claimed to be a scientist?

[Simon]

I NEVER thought I'd say this about this company's models (due chiefly to their behavior here on the DTF a few years back), but I am open to *possibly* *considering* getting this Ankylosaurus.

It would fit in nicely with the PNSO/Vitae 1/35 scale critters displayed on my desk ... but I'll have to see a lot more pictures of it ... I am concerned that the body doesn't look massive or wide enough though ...

Maybe back in the nineties (although I never saw with his show, it was never part of my childhood), before he started peddling ridiculous propaganda. He's just an actor.

I don't know what you're talking about, and to be honest, I don't think I care to. Suffice it to say, it's hopelessly self-defeating to claim that Nye is just an actor.

I think its his recent show, touching on gender, etc. really didn't go over well with some. His active support for climate science has also made him a sore spot for a lot of conservatives.

Hard to believe people are willing to get so aggressive because not everyone is as bigoted as they are, really runs home the point of who's the one actually attacking others. Frankly, even though I'm not fond of Bill Nye as an entertainer it's nice to see how much he really cares about the rampant miseducation ruining the world.

You don't need a piece of paper to know how science works.

Please stay on topic or create a new topic in General section. Thanks!

How the Rebor Ankylosaurus compares to an Ankylosaurus magniventris reconstruction.

[Neosodon]

The body is way to small. Looks like it got all it's innards sucked out.
