Rebor 1:35 "Tyrannosaurus rex" Vanilla Ice

[suspsy]

This model is pretty ridiculous. It's not a Tyrannosaurus, so why are people calling it one? It's a "Vastatosaurus" from the 2005 King Kong film. While I do enjoy that movie an awful lot, I have never felt the want or need for a model of any of the fictitious animals seen.

They are monsters, much more so than anything Dr. Grant ever witnessed in Jurassic Park. Why did Rebor think there would be a market for this?

I gave Rebor a try years ago when I bought the Ceratosaurus and Compsognathus, and while there was a time when I wanted their Dimorphodon pair too, I decided to put those monies toward the better researched Collecta deluxe Dimorphodon in the end. Rebor just ain't worth the money. I have neither of those models on display anymore.

Sorry Rebor fans, that is my objective point of view. 

AYUP.

Tbh my only real issue with this model is that they're calling it a T.rex and yet it doesn't look anything like their other Rex models. It looks like it was made by a completely different manufacturer with a different sculpting style. They have an armada of Velociraptors, but even though they all vary in colour they all share the same shape.

If the producers of Jurassic World give Rebor the production of animal figures from the film, I would not care in my case that Rebor made exact or similar replicas of the Indominus rex or the Indoraptor. We already know that like the vastatosaurus they are fantastic figures but they would have great acceptance among the young and even adult public.

Not especially interested in fiction dino-monsters!

I'm not a supporter either, but for example it has a lot of acceptance among collectors and the general public, the fantastic creatures or monsters based on the Alien movie saga for example. It is the sad reality that ultimately commands the end of the market.

They have just revealed a photo of the tyrannosaurus nicknamed "Vanilla Ice" by Rebor and sincerely, even if it is not a dinosaur, as the forum member rightly points out, it is still a very well finished figure. I suspect that said figure will be available shortly, I pass the facebook link:

Looks like they're doing a JP Spinosaurus, too. Maybe they intend it to go with the Papo version.

It ain't going with my Papo version though, I'm past that at this point in my hobby

[Syndicate Bias]

Eh, I'm hyped for their orange JP raptor as i don't own any because they lack a nice paint job that i like. Their V Rex is kinda off putting to me. I still kinda like.it but my issue is that its too bumpy on its head. The movie V Rex has a smoother head and this one is just meh to me. Ill probably get it but most likely in two years or so. Right now im focused on PNSO and their big four to me, once i get those and if papo has lacklustre releases in 2019 i could be looking into Rebor and their Two versions of Spinosaurus as they stated they will have the JP one and an accurate one, although if its not better than PNSO Spinosaurus i think ill just get the awesomebro one.

Their JP Rex looks promising. Wish they also had an option for us to have a non JP one that was accurate. But its all good. At this point i see Rebor as my cheapest way to get jp stuff. Hope they do Indoraptor and Indominus Rex. Since Chronicle Collectibles is a bit too dear.

With the paint scheme there now, I kind of like this more then the Papo one, although I'm still not a fan of the excessive copy pasted detailing it has.

I sincerely like dinosaurs and prehistoric animals in general, but for personal and economic reasons I will make war economy. I like Rebor, but between choosing Rebor and other companies like Vitae and PNSO I'm left with difference with those last two companies are more scientific.

Honestly perhaps this year will be the last to buy figures of prehistoric animals, I would affirm with complete certainty. Now I'm focusing on other discontinued brands as I mentioned Play Visions and Battat, and in the remainder of the year I will buy together the dinosaurs that are missing from Mojo, Papo, Schleich and Collecta, the dinosaurs of Favorite and Kaiyodo that I commissioned from Brett .. And for me the collection of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals is over. I have spent a lot of money in these years and I feel that they are going to present some years not only in my country but in the rest of the world quite bad from the economic point of view.

It's not that I'm burned from the collector's point of view but in my personal case I'm going to focus a bit on my own survival unless there is a miracle that I doubt.

But for those who fortunately can buy such beauties sincerely, although I like Rebor (they are finished figures) I like more the figures of other companies and I comment with the utmost respect.

I agree with your opinion Syndicate Bias regarding the comparison that Rebor makes with other companies. Totally agree. I will continue giving my opinions as up to now in the forum with the total security that I leave the collection of prehistoric animals to my regret.

[Shonisaurus]

There are two color variants of the tyrannosaurus rex, the Tyrannosaurus rex Vanilla Ice Mountain and the tyrannosaurus rex Jungle. Two photographs of the figures of Rebor have appeared, I passed the facebook link:

@IrritatorRaji I love it. As a fan of the Peter Jackson's King Kong lore, this is bringing back a ton of nostalgia.

The scale pattern does suck, and could have used a bit more blending between the back and the sides of the body. The maw also does seem to be kind of odd, with how shovel-like it looks.

Anyways, looking forward to its release as well as the Killer Queen. If I had to choose one or the other, this guy probably gets the short-end of the stick.

Anyone got any good estimates on pricing?

[stargatedalek]

It makes sense with the snake, but the bendable tails on every single release feels more like REBOR adding clumsy gimmicks to try and justify the price staying the same as they remove bases. Which despite their only recently announcing it was clearly planned for some time as nothing since the Carno has had one.

[Dyscrasia]

I am really not sure about this one.

I do think that the production pieces will look as good as the ones in the promotional images, but this doesn't feels like a T. rex at all.

But for V. rex fans, this might be a decent piece to add to their collection.

[australovenator]

eh, as much as I liked the V.rex design I'm just not feeling this model, doesn't quite hit the mark and a bit too pricey probably.

[Shonisaurus]

This is obviously not a dinosaur. It is a science fiction monster is a vastatosaurus. That does not mean that it is a rather detailed figure, but it does not stop being a fantastic creature.

The mouth of said figure is excessively wide, the colors are beautiful and sincerely without becoming too conservative they are quite realistic and striking. What I suppose is that it will not have a detachable tail like Rebor's ankylosaurus, by the way I see that it has an appendix at the end of the tail or it's a figuration of mine. Otherwise the release date is in October, but honestly I still abstain from buying it because they will leave new things from other companies at equally expensive prices and sincerely prefer before these two figures of Rebor awesome and very nice but fictitious a true prehistoric animal or a dinosaur with scientific patterns.

I also buy some of these two creatures for later but in October there will be many figures of other nice and cool companies and I prefer to buy a lion rather than a chimera with all the respect I have for the brand Rebor (magnificent in the development of his figures) and without denying that perhaps in a few months after its launch in October, he will buy some of these artistic recreations.

Thank you for downloading the photographs from the Internet IrritatorRaji.

Curiously, in a reply to someone's comment about thd uniform scales on FB, they mentioned that they have lots of T. rex designs coming...

Rebor
"The skin textures of these beasts shouldn't be random as the goal was trying to make them look more crocodilian. Don't worry we got plenty of rexes with different designs coming "

[tanystropheus]

eh, as much as I liked the V.rex design I'm just not feeling this model, doesn't quite hit the mark and a bit too pricey probably.

It's as close to V-rex as possible without being a copy and paste hack (sure, the scales could be raised a bit more). I think it is worth it and the price is about right. It looks a bit shiny but that's probably because of the lighting on the photographs. If the exact model was released by NECA folks would be praising.

[tanystropheus]

It makes sense with the snake, but the bendable tails on every single release feels more like REBOR adding clumsy gimmicks to try and justify the price staying the same as they remove bases.

Do you feel the bendy feature takes away from the model (in terms of aesthetics or functionality)?  I think for army building purposes, it adds a bit of variety...but for single models (no point having a tribe of rexes), it neither adds nor detracts from the model.
