JurassicCollectables Reviews the Kaiyodo Sofubi Toy Box T. rex “Classic Colouration”
A few days ago, JurassicCollectables posted up onto their excellent YouTube channel an unboxing video featuring a trio of tyrannosaur models that we, at Everything Dinosaur had sent them. The narrator could hardly contain his excitement as he opened the box and unwrapped the three colour variants of the Kaiyodo Sofubi Toy Box T. rex. In that short, unboxing video we were promised that each model would be reviewed at length in the near future. True to their word JurassicCollectables have posted up a video review of the Kaiyodo Sofubi Toy Box Tyrannosaurus rex “classic colouration”.
A Video Review of the Limited Edition “Classic” Kaiyodo T. rex Articulated Figure

Inspired by the Artwork of Zdeněk Burian
In this video review (it lasts for a little over twelve minutes), the narrator discusses the packaging (this model comes in a special edition box) and points out the degree of movement afforded by the ten points of articulation. This tyrannosaur is known as the “classic”, as the colour scheme chosen for this figure was inspired by the highly influential Czech painter and illustrator Zdeněk Burian.

The recently reviewed Eofauna Scientific Research Giganotosaurus (G. carolinii), makes an appearance and helps to provide a size comparison with the Kaiyodo figure. In addition, JurassicCollectables uses a Papo green standing T. rex model to help to give an impression of the figure’s size. Naturally, off-colour Alan gets involved too and the narrator comments that when the Kaiyodo Sofubi Toy Box T. rex is placed next to the Alan Grant action figure, it looks like a juvenile T. rex. This is highly appropriate as a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex is referenced in the original Jurassic Park novel by Michael Crichton.
Beautiful Background Provided in the Presentation Box
The narrator comments upon the beautiful background image provided in the special presentation box and reflects on the skilful craftmanship and the care taken to produce the stunning paint scheme and the graceful airbrushing. The mouth and jaws (the figure has an articulated upper jaw), are singled out for special praise.
