Our thanks to dinosaur model collector Carl, who sent into Everything Dinosaur his review of the new Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream figures. Carl is a big fan of the King Kong movie franchise.
Here is his review:
Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream Figures
In August 2024, a team member from the fantastic Everything Dinosaur posted up a blog with an announcement to say that Rebor Studio are starting production on a brand-new dinosaur figure. It was to be another Tyrannosaurus rex. This new sculpture comes in two different colour variants, the first one is called “Skull Walker”. The second is known as the “Mountain” colour variant. These two simply incredible dinosaur figures are a must have if you love the 2005 version of the cinematic epic movie “King Kong” – a fantastic fantasy film which was directed by Mr Peter Jackson.
A film that Mr Jackson said he always wanted to do. Furthermore, for a remake to be filmed as close as possible to the original 1933 version, well I think he pulled it off superbly.
Unfortunately, the giant theropod Vastatosaurus rex has had only one showing in the movies. It would be fantastic to see this awesome carnivorous giant show its dominance in another Kong film, or in any future releases from the Monsterverse movie franchise, doubtful but always hoping.

Vastatosaurus rex
Rebor Studio has no official licence to name these as the antagonist from the movie which is the awesome Vastatosaurus rex – (Ravager Lizard King) so, for all intense purposes it is labelled as a Tyrannosaurus rex.
However, these two recent additions are truly fantastic, both models are the same sculpt, once the flexible tail is assembled you can see you have a decent sized figure to display.

For help with the assembly of this dinosaur I would definitely recommend you check out all the hints and tips posted by one of the team members at Everything Dinosaur. It is a big help – thank you.
Impressive Models
Once you have hold of this impressive model you can see the amount of detail that has gone into its production. It is a carefully researched model which has a good screen likeness to the Vastatosaurus rex in the 2005 King Kong movie. Both dinosaurs have incredible skin and scale detail. Looking at the figures from a bird’s eye view gives the appearance of a crocodile (Crocodilia – order of the crocodilians), again relatives of the Dinosauria.
The pose on both models is dynamic, the Mountain colour is more like the Vastatosaurus rex in the movie. The end battle shows a very similar stance if you look closely at it, it is a fantastic figure. However, for me personally, it is the look of the animal itself, if you stared straight at this animal, I believe it would most certainly stare right back with such a vicious and menacing appearance. It is a dinosaur no one would want to mess with.

None of this movie nonsense “don’t move – it won’t see you if you don’t move” – a line from Jurassic Park. Tyrannosaurus rex, fictional or not would probably have been a very active hunter, scavenging at times yes, no different to any other predators past or present.
Anyway…….
Anyway, to behold, this impressive model is now in stock at the fantastic award-winning Everything Dinosaur. A company that is dedicated to everything dinosaur related and palaeontology news and information from around the world.

Thank You Everything Dinosaur
Finally, a huge thank you to the team members at Everything Dinosaur for supplying these beautiful Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream figures – thank you!
Visit the award-winning Everything Dinosaur website: Everything Dinosaur.
To Rebor Studio – from a collector’s point of view, I hope the continuation in producing some fantastic dinosaur collectables continues in the future and beyond. Thank you for producing two more stunning Tyrannosaurus rex figures to add to your catalogue and to my collection also.
One final thing to add is that the new Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream figures stand perfectly well on a stable flat surface, preferably away from any heat source, indoor heating or in direct sunlight.
Our thanks to Carl for sending in his dinosaur model review.
