The Rebor “Tyrannosaurus rex Vanilla Ice” Mountain replica has been withdrawn from production. A source close to Everything Dinosaur has confirmed that this Tyrannosaurus rex figure has been retired. The model represented a version of a tyrannosaur popularised by the 2005 King Kong film.
Rebor 1:35 scale ““Tyrannosaurus rex Vanilla Ice”
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.
