Have these been easier and cheaper to get a hold of now they've been reissued?

They were for me, or at least the Tyrannosaurus was. I still don't have the Triceratops. I was able to get the T. rex on eBay for $50 I believe? With free shipping. Not sure if that is a great price but just the fact that I was able to get it at all (and not from a Japanese site) made me happy.

I got the orange Triceratops for about $50 a while back. Ok then so that seems to be standard price.

So I thought I'd review the Rebor T. rex. I just noticed that they have a thread here. Oh boy....

Great to see you back Marc! If you think that thread is bad have a gander at the one in which they announced the Yutyrannus...

Great review! Did you try it out with other dinosaur figures under its foot?

Haha, I haven't tried that yet, no. Not sure I have too many appropriate figures for the job (hey, Collecta - how about a larger-scale Triceratops carcass? ).

I've had a look around and my review seems to be reflecting the consensus here, which is a happy coincidence. (Yay, no reams of angry comments!) I've noticed some people saying that it doesn't look like a Papo, when...come on now, it totally does. Like I said, a "Papo on steroids".

Juvenile T. Rex from CollectA. The cutest thing that can disembowel you:

Now that's a coincidence. I just got mine today

Both last posts about the different views of the T-Rex are excellent and well spoken.
There is a steroid movie-class with a heavy marketing and a naturalistic way of interpretation. CollectA can't praised enough for their fantastic work.
And thank both authors for this well tempered reviews. Always a pure pleasure and great benefit.

[suspsy]

Thank you. The timing of the back-to-back T. rex reviews is purely coincidental, but it certainly is an interesting juxtaposition. Personally, I'm quite tired of the image of the bloodthirsty, rampaging killing machine. I see T. rex the same way as I do an African lion, a great white shark, a golden eagle, or a polar bear: immensely powerful and deadly, but a living, breathing, complex, and beautiful animal.

Great review Suspy! I enjoyed the opening part in which you describe the scenery! Puts one in the right mood. Quite a contrast between Papo baby and CollectA.

[suspsy]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! And yes, the contrast between those two figures is something. It's science confronting stereotype.
