Assembling the Rebor Swarm X-REX Radioactive Figure

This remarkable figure requires assembly.  The tail needs to be inserted into the body.  It can be a little tricky to accomplish.  However, at Everything Dinosaur we like to help and here is a guide to fitting the tail piece.

You will need, a kettle, a cup, a nail file and a small amount of vegetable oil, – olive oil from your kitchen is fine. If you have a hair dryer that would be helpful too.

1. Check the tail end plug, make sure it is clean and smooth. Check the hole in the back of the model, make sure there are no burrs or other obstructions, bits of loose plastic that could make inserting the tail difficult. If there are any, simply remove them with small scissors.
2. Take a nail file and gently file around the inside of the hole in the base of the model, to make sure there are no parts that could prevent the tail from being inserted properly.
3. Blow into the hole to remove any filings.
4. Boil a kettle and fill a cup with the boiling water. Take the tip of the tail (the plug) and put into the boiling water for 3-4 seconds. This will not harm the plastic but heat the plug and make it a little softer. Dry the plug and try to insert the tailpiece into the body. It should be easier to push it home.
5. If you are still struggling, use the hair dryer to heat around the hole in the base of the figure. Dip the tail piece into the boiling water once again, dry the tail piece and try inserting the tail now that the hole and the tail piece have been heated up. The tail should be easy to push into place.
6. If you are still not able to insert the tail, then heat the hole with the hair dryer, dip the tail piece plug into the boiling water to heat the tail plug. Then dry the tail plug and add a smear (a small amount of the vegetable oil to the plug. The vegetable oil is organic, it will not affect the plastic but lubricate the tail plug and make it easier for you to push the tail piece into place.

Following these steps should enable you to fit the tail into the body of the model. It is difficult and it takes some effort as the join is very snug.

An Alien Replica

The figure is the third alien replica introduced by Rebor.  Science-fiction fans are delighted.  Collectors are advised to take care when adding the spines and the small jaw accessory.  Hot water treatment or a hair dryer can help with the installation of these small pieces too.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We congratulate Rebor for their amazing design work. The head dome can be removed and there is a jaw accessory just like the alien creature from the movies. A great deal of care has gone into the design of the Rebor X-REX Swarm Radioactive scale model.”
