Rebor Scientifically Accurate Tyrannosaurus rex "Kiss” and “Tusk”

[Rain]

I know some of it will be lost between the printing and mold making process but I'm not to keen on that level of detail, it's looking a bit over textured. Hoping the final product looks more like the GNG rex than the killer queen rex.

[JohannesB]

I won't buy both (if I buy one at all), but I can't yet make a choice between this T. rex and Nanmu's upcoming 'Once and Future King'. Of course, Rebor's is just in development, so maybe the choice will be more easy (or even more difficult, who knows..).

[SRF]

Rebor announced that Kiss will get a lipless counter part called Tusk. They almost show the full detail of the sculpt with this reveal.

[JohannesB]

If only they would make the tail more beefy too (bulging more behind the hips, indicating the big retractor muscles). It looks a bit emaciated. I could be wrong, of course. But it is typical how the tail is seemingly treated like an afterthought, illustrated wonderfully by this image, where it is obscured and undefined/unrendered. But then again, I might be proven wrong :-)

[Shonisaurus]

I prefer this tyrannosaurus Rebor figure than models from other factories, some recent both scientific and not. I sincerely have the impression that this tyrannosaurus will not have stability problems and is far superior to its recent counterparts carnotaurus and ekrixinatosaurus "epitaph", not only because it is a scientific figure but also because the sculpture is more finished.

[SRF]

@Archosaur looking at the pictures in the opening post of this thread, I don't think the tail is too skinny. It seems bulkier to me than the tail of Winter Wilson for instance.

I assume the tail is going to be a seperate part of the model, just like with their other theropods like the Killer Queen Rexes. That may explain why it is rendered last, since the detailing must be done in a way that the seem will not be too visible.

@Shonisaurus I think it's a bit early to give this model the edge over other T. Rex models that are released recently. Those who prefer lips on their theropods will most likely prefer this one over PNSO's Rexes, but we don't know anything yet of the colors and pose of Rebors new Rex models. That also means that we don't know how the stability of this figure will be. I don't think this will be the final pose.

It's caused by Zbrush's dynamic perspective view, the tail is beefy enough

Smart move.

Remember guys this is not a competition, PNSO's Wilson is a stunning figure.

We just want to make one rex called "Kiss" and one rex called "Tusk" that's all, the names came first before the actual sculpts

i for one cant wait to see the final outcome of the two versions of this T. rex.

I know it's not. It's not Euro 2020 

But when it comes to T. Rex, logically we're going to debate which model is the most accurate or "best" one on the market. And since there are not that many theropod models with lips in general, I think this one will definitely please some of us.

Is there anything known yet of its size @REBOR_STUDIO?

[Faelrin]

Gotta say I think I'm starting to lean on this one (well the lipped variant), for a non articulated updated T. rex for my collection. It is quite smart to do both a lipless and lipped version because of people's preferences, but also because nothing is set in stone until we have more evidence, even if a lot of scientific consensus is moving towards theropods having lips. It will be interesting to see which of the two sells better in the end.

While I think the scales could be a bit finer (like on the BotM Tyrannosaurus, and possibly the upcoming PNSO Andrea), such as on the face, however it does appear to be much finer then on PNSO's Wilson, and I like how the scales are being applied to the sculpt so far.

Now I'm just curious about the coloration and scale (1:35 - 1:30?) and eventual cost. I'm also wondering if this will have an articulated jaw and what the final pose will be (though I must say I am fine with the current one as is). Will there be coloration variants as well?

Lastly I am also impressed with the lack of shrinkwrapping I am seeing, especially on the head. Like it looks on par with the Safari Ltd Feathered T. rex, perhaps PNSO's Wilson & Andrea, and the upcoming BotM T. rex figures.

I see what you did there. It's coming home anyway

It's going to be a 1:35 scale figure so probably around 39-40cm long.

Yeah well being Dutch, we're already at home now anyway. 

I don't want to be nitpicky, but that's actually too big for T. Rex to be in true 1:35 scale.

glad to hear that it's going to be 1:35. btw, whats the scale of the GnG rexes?

Excellent

[Faelrin]

And it appears both the "Kiss" and "Tusk" T. rex are done now, at least as far as sculpting details. Looks like pose is next in line.

From the looks of it, I'm guessing these will have the articulated jaws, arms, and bendy tails like on many of their other figures?

Pics from their FB page:











From a slightly older post showing how the belly scales were sculpted:




I must say I am very much impressed with how these have turned out so far. Only second to the BotM one for me, in terms of anatomy so far, and potentially colorations, but those wait to be seen for now. I wonder if this will be the first lipped T. rex into production and/or hit the market (other then BotM's)? Unless Safari Ltd surprises us with one for next year. We will see.

Thanks for the news and photos @Faelrin

I have to agree with Faelrin. My only issue with these would be the ribs slightly peaking through the skin. If someone can clarify if this would or would not be present in life that would be great. Other than that these look quite good. Nice job Rebor!

I will be passing on these though due to my downsize in collecting, but can't wait for the reviews, maybe I have to make an exception if these turn out to be extremely beautiful with their colors applied. I am hoping for somewhat of a similar color scheme and application to Saurian's Tyrannosaurus, just my opinion though.
