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

[Faelrin]

Yeah this was discussed before. This thing is an Ankylosaurus in pretty much in name only. I'll be surprised if they at least got the head and tail club right, if they ever release it. Maybe the number of digits too, but I'm not sure if that's even known currently. They are probably just going off of an incorrect pop culture version of it, and they've made it clear plenty of times they don't care about accuracy anyways.

The figure of Rebor is good but the tail of the animal sincerely I would like it to be rigid, yes, without joints, on the other hand that the tail rises to the air like a scorpion does not bother me but it does not convince me at all. The paleoartistic philosophy to which I am accustomed in terms of ankylosaurus is that they must have a rigid tail that at most would bend at the height of their body. But it is my opinion.

Besides, that belongs to an artistic license from Rebor that I respect and sincerely do not dislike. Anyway, unfortunately, this ankylosaurus, due to what the experts of the forum say, knows very little remains, so it is very difficult to get an exact figure. I simply respect Rebor's decision on my part.

In any case the figure or rather the prototype does not look bad even without painting, I think it is a good figure but I would like it to be big. In all the ways I have to see more pictures of that figure when it is fully made to decide to buy it or not. It is still too early for me to comment on that figure sincerely speaking.

I wonder if they're intending to produce these as a double-pack? War Pigs?

[Reptilia]

I think they've put two only to set a scene for that picture, I don't see the point of a two-pack actually. Looks a lot like the Papo one, maybe is just how they posed it, but anyway is cool. And seems like the jaw is articulated too?

[Minmiminime]

Yeah, I wondered about that. Looks like it's been done rather well if that's the case. It'll be interesting to see what colour scheme they come up with

[Shonisaurus]

They are not precise figures from my point of view scientifically speaking but honestly they seem their prototypes are well detailed as all the figures of Rebor, what happens that if they take two models together the price of that product will be much higher.

However, it is appreciated that Rebor is encouraged to mass produce herbivorous dinosaurs. What I think it has as members of the similud forum have commented with Papo's ankylosaurus although this ankylosaurus does not have its tail curved upwards but turns to the left which gives it a more realistic image.

Sincerely, I am curious to see when they will apply paint to these two figures.

[Reptilia]

The full set from Facebook. It's promising, possibly even better than Papo's in terms of sculpt.

[Shonisaurus]

The ankylosaurus are gorjeus. They look like medieval knights or gladiators in fight. Nice outfit. I get the impression that in this year Rebor is going to market many figures.

The ankylosaurus must admit that they look better day by day, I hope they publish the finished image soon. 

[Faelrin]

The posability puts it over Papo's for me, assuming the production figures don't have any issues (like the Rebor Pete did with the tongue falling out in a few instances). Although I do need to wait and see how the colors on this figure turn out. Looks like it has the same number of toes as the recent Safari Ltd Ankylosaurus. I see it also has forward facing nostrils. I do realize this thing is a chimera of ankylosaurid features, but still think it was worth pointing that out. I wonder if this one will have a base too like their other figures? I suppose time will tell.

[Lanthanotus]

I know the tail can be bent, but the head can also rotate, possibly even tilt? Or is that just an optical misinterpretation?

It definitely looks like there's a seam there and Rebors don't have seams aside from where articulation is involved.

[Faelrin]

In one of the older posts on their FB about it they mentioned it would have head articulation and jaw articulation, aside from the bendy wire tail. Here's a link to it: https://www.facebook.com/reborstudio/photos/a.555150811278598.1073741827.555146104612402/1213510308775975/?type=3

Just looked at the post and scrolled down to see comments and found this gem: "war pig is good. war pig deserves a pat".

[tanystropheus]

It's great to see a toy/model company have fun and run with their ideas. I like that REBOR is experimental in nature.

Hoping REBOR gains back their reputation in 2018. I know that they can deliver...if they want to.

The REBOR Stegosaurus is going to be the talk of the town. It will most likely sport a bendy tail as well (with an accurate thagomizer)

[Flaffy]

Putting all personal issues and PR drama aside, Rebor has potential.
If Rebor finally decides to stop dishing out JP clone after JP clone, and all those damn raptors, they could actually cook up some pretty interesting stuff.

[Shonisaurus]

Rebor has a potential outside the normal and can make herbivorous dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures following their artistic pattern as great as the raptors and theropods that we are used to.

Today I noticed that for example the carnotaurus of Rebor has a texture much more finished and smooth than its predecessor acrocanthosaurus and the same can be said of its velociraptor. 

I have total confidence that we will be delighted as much or more by the company Rebor with its herbivorous dinosaurs. 

[Reptilia]

Rebor has potential, undoubtedly, but so far the models that show it are often inferior to Papo in my opinion, for example the Ceratosaurus. Or, when on par like with the Acrocanthosaurus, Papo wins cause it's cheaper. For me Rebor can do its best with movie inspired figures, their raptors are definitely the best you can find on the market at the moment, if you are a JP fan. This Ankylosaurus looks great, as I said might turn out even better than Papo's, but certainly will be much more pricey. And one of the factors that bring up the cost, the multiple articulations, does not appeal to me. So I kinda wish Rebor could specialize in movie monsters once and for all.

[MLMjp]

What I wish that Rebor do is to STOP announcing future products and have a freaking organized schedule release. Of all the prototypes they have shown, how many of them have been released?? NONE. Why? Because suddenly, something completely new is announced and released instead of all the good stuff that they have promised. Sometimes a year passes and  a lot of products haven't been released because another thing that was clearly conceptualized and created after the announcement of other figures is released instead. Announce a product AND RELEASE IT. ANNOUNCE A PRODUCT, AND RELEASE IT. EVERY COMPANY DOES THAT. IT IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT REBOR.

They want to do whatever they want with their dinosaurs? Ok
They want to go with the awesomebro way? Ok
They want to do crazy and weird stuff? Ok

BUT DO IT IN AN ORGANIZED AND STRUCTURED WAY.

[Reptilia]

I understand and totally agree, MLMjp. That's why I stopped waiting for their fabled "King Trident" and sold the "King T-Rex" and "The Fallen Queen" diorama.

[Faelrin]

The lack of organized releases bothers me too. It just seems unprofessional. They keep announcing things, but yet in most cases, there is no proof any of those are even on their way to being put into production, or have been put into production. The Triceratops and Stegosaurus are good examples. Other times you get images of a digital sculpt, or possibly even the prototype, but beyond those you could be waiting a long time for them to be made, and I do realize production issues can happen and delay the release of a product, and even production itself can take a while, but in some cases it doesn't seem like the thing has even entered production yet, which makes me wonder why, since they are supposed to be selling products to make money from. Perhaps they just need to be more transparent about their process as a company, because right now it is just confusing and frustrating. Perhaps having an official website for their products could help as well.
