Originally introduced in the autumn of 2018, the Rebor “Tyrannosaurus rex Vanilla Ice” in the mountain colour scheme proved extremely popular with dinosaur fans and model collectors. It had a counterpart, the “jungle” version. This too, also proved popular amongst fans of prehistoric animal figures.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Models do get retired occasionally. When a model is retired it allows the factory time to produce new figures and replicas. As products get retired, it permits new models to be developed and enter the product range.”

Rebor has produced a wide variety of Tyrannosaurus rex models. The company has been creating models that reflect how T. rex is portrayed in films. Other replicas named “Retrosaurs” reflect earlier film depictions of theropod dinosaurs.

Recently, Rebor introduced the Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex “KISS” Mountain version, a tyrannosaur with lips. This figure also had a counterpart “TUSK” that depicted T. rex as a dinosaur without lips.
