Let’s take a closer look at the two new for 2025 Rebor Beelzebufo figures. Which one do you prefer? There are two different versions of the Late Cretaceous prehistoric frog Beelzebufo from Rebor. Each figure has amazing detail, and they are poseable.

The exact taxonomic affinity of the Beelzebufo taxon remains uncertain. The image shows the 1:2 scale Rebor Beelzebufo ampinga GooGooDoll version in anterior view.
These two amazing prehistoric frog replicas in 1:2 scale are due into stock at Everything Dinosaur possibly around June (2025).

Which Rebor Beelzebufo is the Most Scientifically Accurate?
We have received a number of questions about these two frog figures. Collectors have asked us to confirm the model’s measurements. The figures are slightly different sizes.
- Rebor 1:2 scale poseable Beelzebufo ampinga “GooGooDoll” Swamp Version measurements – length 13.5 cm, width 15 cm and height 7.5 cm. With fully stretched limbs the figure measures around 26 cm in length.
- Rebor 1:2 scale poseable Beelzebufo cornuta “Little Feet” Rainforest Version measurements – length 13.5 cm, width 15 cm and height 9.5 cm (hornlets). With fully stretched limbs the figure measures around 26 cm in length.

An anterior view of the new Rebor Beelzebufo 1:2 scale model (Little Feet). The known fossil material indicates that this Late Cretaceous frog had a blunt snout and a large, wide mouth.
As for which figure is the most scientifically accurate? It is hard to say. The taxonomy of this taxon remains disputed. With two different and contrasting figures, Rebor have attempted to cover several bases. A case could be made for each figure being scientifically accurate.
When this huge, prehistoric frog was first described back in 2008 (Evans, Jones and Krause), it was thought that the jawbones indicating a huge mouth and a blunt head resembled frogs found today in South America – specifically the Ceratophyrinae (Sera-toe-fie-rin-aye). Several living members of this frog family possess horned eyelids. This is why the “Little Feet” version has this feature. However, not all members of the Ceratophyrinae have hornlets. However, the paint scheme chosen for the horned “Little Feet” version is a very close match to the original illustration that was provided with the 2008 paper.
See our blog post from 2008 which shows this illustration: Beelzebufo – The Frog from Hell.
Changing Views About the Taxonomy of Beelzebufo ampinga
Only one species in the Beelzebufo genus is currently recognised – B. ampinga. Rebor has decided to give one of their figures a different species name. The “Little Feet” version has been named Beelzebufo cornuta.
Scientists have recently challenged the taxonomy of Beelzebufo. Some researchers have suggested that Beelzebufo might be more closely related to the Pelodryadinae (Pel-oh-dry-ah-din-aye). These frogs lack hornlets. They are large, wide-mouthed frogs known from Australia and New Guinea (mainly). Many members of this family of frogs have adaptations for climbing, but no one has suggested that Beelzebufo was arboreal (as far as we know).
Since at this time, there is no real clarity regarding Beelzebufo taxonomy – just go with the Rebor figure you like the best.
