Rebor 1:35 "Tyrannosaurus rex" Vanilla Ice

    "He's the rex we collectors deserve, but not the one we need right now. So people will criticise him. Because he has to take it. Because he's not our scientifically accurate dinosaur. He's a silent paleoart. A watchful predator. A true awesomebro."


Wow. No.

Lol, Rebor why do you guys make the best movie quotes?
Also you got to wonder who wrote that?

I'm not sure what to question first.. the education or sanity that produced that statement.  lol

Wish they'd stick to JP replicas though, a Dilo would be great to go with the raptors.

[Syndicate Bias]

Kinda wish they would not dive so deeply in movie dinosaurs honestly.

[Shadowknight1]

It's not a bad design, but...I'm just not interested in yet another Tyrannosaur, especially not one based on the King Kong dinosaur.  If I add more models of certain species, it needs to be an Acrocanthosaurus, Allosaurus, or Dilophosaurus.  This doesn't interest me much.  And paraphrasing Jim Gordon from The Dark Knight doesn't make your statement immediately good.

We don't need more tyrannosaur models honestly

We don't need more tyrannosaur models honestly

According to you, the tyrannosaurus rex is a prehistoric animal (in this case dinosaur) very trite and commercialized in abundance in the toy market of the PVC dinosaur and even in the resin figures.

What that figure has, whether tyrannosaurus and in this case vastatosaurus, is a very accepted figure known to the public both as a collector and as a child, is perhaps the most well-known figure of prehistoric animals and that is why it is returns to present again and again in new paleoartísticas representations and sold in this case massively in the market of the toy.

However, it would be good news that Rebor risked making other known figures of Jurassic Park instead of making tyrannosaurus or velociraptor figures again and again. As far as the philosophy of Rebor is concerned, they will only market figures based on the Jurassic Park film, so it is almost impossible to change their way of thinking and I deserve all the respect in the world. Although they could also change figures, in the movie saga appear other dinosaurs such as gallimimus, brachiosaurus, triceratops, quetzalcoatlus or tylosaurus to name a few examples.

As for the figure of the vastatosaurus its modeling seems very well done to me but it is a very repeated figure as I have said in the market both that and that of the tyrannosaurus rex.

My man, well said. I mean it's a nice figure. The v rex is a nice addition and all but compared to the movie one the sculpt has one too many bumpy scales were the movie one had a more smooth approach to it.

My biggest issue is that rebor doesn't seem like they'll do something like focusing on other theropods that aren't raptors or a rex

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

if they would only focus on prehistoric creatures from film they might have my business.  I'd love an affordable Gwangi, 1950's Kong Rex,  the Rex from Caveman, Phil Tippet's Prehistoric Beast,  Planet of the Dinosaurs...there is a huge list i'd love to see.

And now they make a Vastatosaurus......How long is going to take them to make Indominus rex then? If they can get away from copyright with this calling it a "Tyrannosaurus" "Vanilla Ice", then do the same with Indominus rex, just call it (Insert whatever name you consider appropriate) an voilà!

[Reptilia]

A grey Giganotosaurus with reddish eyes from Rebor would sure be fantastic! I don't care for copyright honestly, cause legally they can do whatever they want as long as they don't attach a JP logo to their products. And they'll probably keep on fooling haters around, like with that Facebook post above, cause the reaction is always exactly what they seek for.

[Syndicate Bias]

I hope Jurassic world makes a giganotosaurus like they teased with the indominus rex genome make up so we can get a giganotosaurus from rebor I think I'd most definitely get a giganotosaurus from just about anyone tbh

[EmperorDinobot]

Remember, he's a "silent paleoart".

[Joey]

Remember, he's a "silent paleoart".

And a "true-awesomebro".

[Derek.McManus]

There is some hope for a Gwangi inspired movie dinosaur then!

[Shonisaurus]

The Gwangi Valley, what memories they bring me! I saw it more than thirty years ago and it's one of my mythical films. It would be nice if Rebor made an allosaurus in the style of a movie or a styracosaurus.

And a "true-awesomebro".

I am rolling on the floor laughing...in a dignified way, of course.

The detail looks fine to me, it's the design that's to blame. Even the smaller scales are very large which makes their repetition that much more grating, nothing to do with digital vs physical.

That's sorta what I meant, sorry. I know nothing about digital sculpting but I assumed it's because they're "copy and pasting" the same scale texture over and over as opposed to individually sculpting each scale, they way they've done for their previous figures.

Though, l'm not sure if you can even do that lol.

In theory you can do that, but that alone wouldn't cause the problem. Nature itself even "copy-pastes" most of the scales on an animal (especially lizards). The problem stems from the scales being so large compared to the animal. These scales are even larger than scales on actual living reptiles the same size as the figure, to say nothing of keeping them in scale for a large dinosaur. This leads to them failing to create a convincing "flow" across the animals surface, they almost clash with the animals own movement looking like it's wearing chain mail.

I'm not so sure it's the size of the scales, their early models have inaccurately large scales as well, though they still look good and don't appear repetitive the way they do on this model. This one just doesn't look like a Rebor to me, right now at least, it looks like they used a texture stamp to do all the detailing as opposed to individually sculpting each scale, the way they've done in the past.
