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

[Over9K]

REBOR have declared Kiss and Tusk to be done...


Kiss







Tusk

I'm excited about this one, can't wait to see the actual finished product. I already like it more than Wilson.

Oooooo what a nice walking pose in the first image. Can't wait to see the color choices.

[Faelrin]

Sculpts are looking great. Can't wait to see some color on these though.

In the spirit of Marvel... What If.. Wilson Had Lips?







Custom Wilson by @BravoModels

I don't really have a dog in the lip v lipless debate and can enjoy models on both sides of the coin. However, that custom is one case where I think the extra oral tissue looks objectively better than the lipless approach.

[Concavenator]

The scales on these new Rebor Tyrannosaurus are still a bit on the big side, though it's not as dramatic as in the newer Wilson. Andrea corrected this. And onto Rebor's version again, it looks like they have considered the gastralia, haven't they? If so, well done.

Agreed. Hoping that this figure will be in the 1/35 or so range.

I saw that lipped Wilson over on Facebook @Over9K, it's marvelous, much more believable looking.

[suspsy]

That lipped Wilson looks a million times better.

I believe Rebor stated on their instagram that this would be 1/35, but I could be mistaken. However, I think Rebor try to stay in the 1/35 scale range when doing large carnivores.

Also, that lipped Wilson looks really good. I usually don't favor lips or no lips, but in this case I think Wilson looks better with lips. The blending of colors on face as well looks stunning.

Yeah yeah we get it rebor bad

Unless youre meaning a million times better than the released wilson and im just misinterpreting things

Pretty sure suspy is referring to the lipped Wilson being superior to the lipless Wilson. Also, I don't think anyone is trying to be negative on these Rebor Tyrannosaurs. If anything, rebor has possibly the most accurate rex on the market once it is released. Of course later we'll have GR toys and the BOTM series as competition. I just realized that the end of this year and next year will be a competition of the lipped Tyrannosaurus rex!

You are correct.

I don't think any of Rebor's figures are actually 1:35 scale, correct me if there is one.

[SRF]

The Killer Queen Rexes are way bigger than Wilson, and according to Rebor those are 1:35 as well. So I expect these new Rexes to be too big to actually be 1:35.

They do look good. I hope the lipped version gets a color scheme similar to that fleshed out version of Sue.

[Over9K]

REBOR, Nanmu, W-Dragon all claim their stuff is 1/35th and none of it actually is. Nanmu's rex is HUGE, compared to REBOR's Killer Queen, and was sold as "1/35"

I think PNSO actually tries to scale correctly, but they're about the only ones these days.

[Bread]

Was not sure if they were really "1/35th scale" as I figured Rebor would be slightly off as most companies are. However I am assume these are targeted to being 1/35 but again they could very well be off in scale.

I have a question for you guys in the lipped camp.  Personally my preference from an aesthetic POV is the lipless look, a crocodile just looks more menacing than a monitor lizard even if both were the same size because the teeth look so cool.  But that's just me and it's got nothing to do with my question. 

From a technical angle, the PNSO Wilson T-rex has a lower jaw that literally appears to 'tuck' all the way inside the upper jaw, is that correct?  Watching the online videos from dinosdragons he talks about the chinese paleontologist/designer of wilson finding evidence that the lower teeth fit into some kind of sockets in the upper jaw.  This lipped wilson can't tuck those lower teeth into those sockets meaning he's walking around with his lips closed but his jaw partially open?  I just don't understand the mechanics of lipped if indeed that lower jaw is supposed to tuck up inside that upper jaw.  So by extension, is the lower jaw fitting into the upper jaw completely wrong as seen on the PNSO Wilson?   I refuse to buy the figure because of the skin, but I've wondered if that overbite is supposed to be there from a scientific POV and since you guys are very knowledgeable about this stuff I'd like to know how that would work on the actual animal.
