Recent Acquisitions

[Piltdown 龍]

I know Rebor is, shall we say, not particularly favoured, but I thought some people might find these in-hand pics useful

The Grab n Go Redhead T. rex.



Close up of head. Unfortunately the detailing on the rest of the body is not as crisp. The brown version preserves more detail; Redhead suffers from a layer of thickly slathered green paint. Notice also the seams; the tail, the legs, and the arms are all attached to the main body, and the joins are not well concealed at all.   



Regarding the unusual tenuity in the torso, here is a comparison shot with, erm, a more accurate T. rex. However, when compared to the Terra T. rex, the proportions are not as off. (Terra rex was unwilling to join the photo shoot and kept flopping over.) For whatever reason the torso looks more emaciated on the brown version. Optical illusion I suppose, due to the darker brown of the other version.

[Bernie Brontosaurus]

You can clearly tell that REBOR didn't put as much love or effort into this one as they did with their other products. It's like a McDonald's quarter pounder lol!

Did Rebor state that this was an accurate Tyrannosaurus? This had potential but it just looks like it is starving. Thank you for the comparison
@MagicGlueLong!
I am hoping they release the other two color variants. Hopefully they will be better, the one based on the Dinosaur Revolution "documentary" color variant in particular.

@MagicGlueLong
Thanks for the pics! Where did yours come from?

B @Bernie Brontosaurus
To be fair, it is a relatively cheap figure, especially for the size. I can't say I'm surprised the quality dipped with that in mind.

@Bread

REBOR's official teaser post advertised this as "1:35 scale scientifically accurate T-rex"

[Piltdown 龍]

The T. rex came from minizoo.com.au .

[WalkingWithBeasts]

Just arrived today, the Itoy Velociraptor head
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33032336159.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.68224c4dStzxGX

Was surprised to see how big it was when I opened it - and how heavy!

[Bread]

Thank you for the info @Carnoking

Congrats on the acquisition @WalkingWithBeasts
I have always love the coloration on JP3's Velociraptors, even over the original JP's coloration. Definitely a beautiful piece!

[Shonisaurus]

@MagicGlueLong My congratulations on your acquisition. That tyrannosaurus Rebor is less big than I thought which may be a favorable option to buy this figure.

@WalkingWithBeasts My congratulations, that dilophosaurus bust in my case is far beyond the economic capabilities of most buyers and collectors. I especially like the fine detail of the feathers on the head.

Thanks, my favourites are the JP3 Raptors so this is an ideal addition to my overflowing plastic collection!

[Halichoeres]

@Kapitaenosavrvs that customized Spinosaurus looks incredible

[Eocarcharia]

@RaptorRex Nice ceratopsian!

@Kapitaenosavrvs That looks great! Superb work.

These are my 2 latest additions:

[ceratopsian]

Here's the haul arrived from Everything Dinosaur - just a phone shot on a rotten foggy day:

[Shonisaurus]

@Eocarcharia My congratulations on your two new acquisitions. Honestly the PNSO tuijiangosaurus looks better physically than it does in photography or promotional or collector's video.

@ceratopsian Nice booty my congratulations and I'm happy for me. I have noticed that you have great taste when it comes to choosing your collectible dinosaur preferences.

[Bread]

Just arrived this morning, PNSO Ankylosaurus! Been waiting for a few of the PNSO figures I had purchased a while ago. The Einiosaurus was about $7 on Amazon, so took advantage of that over the weekend.

[SidB]

Well done, can't argue with $7 for such a gem and the Ankylosaurus is arguably the best ever made for the mass market, along with its Safari counterpart (depending on what interpretation you prefer).

[cooksonia]

Yes that Ank skin is super realistic. May have to get myself one

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

Lovey acquisitions @ceratopsian and @Bread

[Shonisaurus]

@Bread I'm so happy for you. My congratulations on your new acquisition.

[Halichoeres]

Here's the haul arrived from Everything Dinosaur - just a phone shot on a rotten foggy day:

Very similar to my own BotM selections, only I swapped in the Chasmosaurus for the Triceratops.

@Bread excellent choices.

[Faelrin]

@ceratopsian A bit late to this I suppose, sorry, but glad to see all of that arrived safely for you.

@Bread Great choice of figures. I find it impressive how well those two look together detail wise. Like despite the differences in sculpting style, and perhaps paint application detail, they almost look seamlessly as part of the same line.

I've got something new special thanks to my friend in Guatemala, as a Christmas gift (and partly as thanks for helping him get the SDCC Nedry, etc, and that now that I'm needing to quarantine, can finally ship out to him). He bought me the Mattel Carnotaurus Toro figure. I took a few comparison pics with it.
