Rebor: 1/35 Titanoboa

[Shonisaurus]

Looks great. It is a titanoboa worthy of a collector as is my case.

"Swamp" colour variant. Supposedly based somewhat on a green anaconda.

Still not sure about the angry eyebrows, would've looked a lot better without them. Oh well, it's Rebor, time to lower my expectations a lot.   
Pretty sure the paint is still a work in progress, but I would like to see more colour and shades on the figure, maybe the other variants will deliver. Really impressed that they included an articulated jaw, and a nice forked tongue on such a small head with a fully bendable body, hopefully it'll be durable and not fall apart like their Deinonychus's arms and legs.

The truth although it is still a large snake the titanoba of Rebor is gorgeus. It looks like a real snake. I did not expect the artistic invoice of a toy company, in this case of Rebor, to be so perfect.

Honestly dinosaur toy brands are making me grow fangs, in that they are real works of art, but honestly I am going to limit myself to the dinosaurs and prehistoric animals of Battat and Play Visions that I have left find (if I find them).

Sincerely (and I say it metaphorically and ironically without the intention of bothering anyone) "I am not a politician (be it the ideology that is) or a billionaire" and although I like dinosaurs and prehistoric animals a lot in this case I will wait months to buy those beauties I have spent a lot and sincerely I will be glad that members of the forum collect these figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals.

I like dinosaurs a lot but I'm not a bank robber in my case to buy all the dinosaur figures from the various companies.

Can I wear it as a tie?

The truth is that the snake titanoboa is very well achieved, it looks like a real snake.

The straight pose is a bit boring a figure.
I want an intervined mountain of scales and muscles crushing some poor prehistoric mammal

I think its good that Rebor are planning on modelling something new and different to whats out there already, the flexability lets owners display it how they want to, as for how its face should be, was any of us around when these were alive to actually know what they actually looked like fleshed out, the only thing I would say is it would be far better with a different prey animal, modern Anacondas kill and eat Caimen crocodiles and this could just be that scenerio at a glance, if it was actually a prehistoric mammal that was only alive during the Paleocene era then it would be more recognisable (and interesting) as a Titanoboa.

Shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of extinct mammals available which could be used as prey.

My biggest problem is the size. At 56 cm that would make a 19 meter snake in 1/35th scale. Real animal grew to about 12 meters. So a 40 cm figure would have been big enough.

I'm still going to buy it though. Can't wait to see how my pet snake responds to it.

We have its skull to compare to modern snakes, which is how we know not only what its face looked like but also that it ate almost exclusively fish. Unfortunately from what little I know I don't think we have good data on any truly giant fish from these areas, despite the many turtles and crocodiles.

wait didnt rebor cancel it

As far as I'm aware, not a single living boid display as extreme eye crests as Rebor's titanoboa.
Nor does titanoboa's skull suggest it ever having those eye crests. That's like saying Smilodon could've had scales all over it's body because no one was alive to see a living smilodon, despite all fossil evidence, and features displayed on living relatives suggesting otherwise.

Adding the "angry eyebrows" is not only illogical, but quite unsightly imo. Hell, if the eye crests weren't present, the Rebor titanoboa could stand in pretty well as a modern boid in various modern and prehistoric dioramas. What could've been a very versatile figure (which would've boosted sales) ended up being yet another Rebor product that emphasises "badassness" where it doesn't belong, rather than the natural beauty of real organisms.

Direct quote from Rebor: Then again it's a REBOR product... life is boring anyway so we will always choose "badassness" over accuracy

Hello,

I'm going to make a nice 1/35 Dinos and other prehistoric creatures collection,
and I've been interrested in the Sarcosuchus and Titanoboa.
Looks like the only figure manufacturer who planned to make those in that scale is Rebor.

But from what I see they should have been made alwready, estimated release dates were at the latest for 1 year ago, did I miss them? Are they cancelled or delayed ?


Thanks

What a beautiful snake looks like a real animal, the sculpture is of a supreme quality by Rebor.

On the other hand I would like a sarcosuchus and deinosuchus before the spinosaurus and tyrannosaurus by Rebor. I do not understand why these figures are postponed so much, I think that the production of sarcosuchus has not been canceled and deinosuchus have simply delayed its production for now. Apart from that, the brutal impact of the coronavirus that has caused a new global economic recession must be taken into account. Let's pray metaphorically speaking so that Rebor and the rest of the collectible and toy dinosaur brands do not suffer an irreversible production crisis that would cause the disappearance of many collectible, resin and toy brands. I hope I'm wrong, it would be a total disgrace but as events unfold on a planetary scale this looks pretty bad economically and for countless jobs around the world, I am not a forecaster or pessimist but you have to look at the economic news they are disastrous .

If there is no money to buy basic products, obviously there will be less money to buy products from hobbies such as dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, trains or model ships, to give three examples. I said that I hope that does not happen and production continues and titanoboa will be commercialized soon.

I'm fully aware, alwready concerned and worried about the Covid 19 and the upcoming economic crisis and recession sadly

It might be still ok now, since people who can no longer go out stay home and buy more video games or products on internet ( but it affects productions in Asia).
But that's just temporary, if an economic crisis and recession is coming, dinosaur figures and toys won't be a priority.

Well I hope Nanmu gets to release it's T-Rex before they go bankrupt, I'm waiting for it...
And I agree with you, we alwready got so many Rexes and Spinos to choose...Sarcosuchus / Deinosuchus and Titanoboa would add something new.

Yes, maybe that was the golden age of Dino collectibles.

You could take that as an allegory of the original dinosaur extinction I guess :/

Yeah, this is just like the end-Triassic extinction. 

[Flaffy]

I wonder if Rebor is still going to do multiple paint variants of the Titanoboa.
Or if the swamp colour is going to be the only option.

[Faelrin]

Posting this here too, but if anyone is interested in this one, Everything Dinosaur is having a reserve list for this one, similar to the Papo Spinosaurus:
