Adding a Transparent Base to the Amazing Rebor Zombie T. rex Figure

By |2024-09-10T16:03:54+01:00September 10th, 2024|Rebor Models and Figures|0 Comments

The innovative Rebor Zombie T. rex figure has proved to be popular with collectors.  This imaginative dinosaur model has some incredible detail, and it has been skilfully painted. The design team at Rebor wanted to make the body proportions of this figure reflect the theropod fossil record.  To this end, the feet are not oversized.  A transparent support stand is provided to prevent this beautiful figure from toppling over.  The models we have tested stand fine on a hard, flat surface. However, we do recommend the use of the support stand.

We have received enquiries about displaying the figure.  There are the Rebor diorama bases “Summer Kisses” and “Winter Tears”, these bases could be considered. Unfortunately, we have not had the opportunity to see how the model looks on these bases.

To view the Rebor range of figures and models: Rebor Models and Figures.

Moreover, we have been experimenting with the use of clear, plastic packaging that we could reuse to make a base for the figure.

Using a Transparent Base with the Rebor Zombie T. rex

If you prefer to display this figure without the support rod, then an alternative might be to create your own base.  We have used some clear plastic material that was due to go into our recycling bin.  The transparent plastic would be difficult to spot and virtually invisible.

We could make a base for each foot. However, we opted to use a single piece of plastic and place both feet on it.  Firstly, we had to make sure that the piece of plastic we had chosen was big enough.  If you are going to make a dinosaur display base, we recommend you make sure it is the correct size.

The correct size of display base was cut out.  For simplicity we chose a rectangle shape that permitted both feet to be placed on it with plenty of room to spare.  Other shapes could be tried but we decided to stick with the rectangle as this provided us with a large base for our model.  The bigger the base the greater the stability.  We took care not to leave any sharp edges on the plastic.

The image (above) shows the Rebor Zombie T. rex (plain colouration) on our clear, plastic display base.  When viewed from above, the base can be seen, but viewed from the side the base is difficult to spot and unobtrusive.

Displaying the Rebor Figure

For our experiment, we only tacked the feet of the dinosaur model to the base.  However, stronger glue would provide a more permanent solution. If the plastic is a little thin, we recommend cutting out two pieces and doubling the thickness by sticking them together.  This thicker base would give the model greater stability.

This Rebor Zombie figure is available in two colour variants – plain and jungle.  To read more about these two fantasy figures: Rebor Zombie Models Reviewed.

The lighting in our studio was adjusted to see if we could make the base in our photographs a little more visible.  That’s the problem with a clear, plastic base, spotting it can be tricky!

Creative Carl and his Clever Captions for Popular Rebor Figures

By |2024-09-13T16:00:43+01:00September 6th, 2024|Rebor Models and Figures|0 Comments

Our thanks to Carl for sending into Everything Dinosaur some photographs of his recently acquired figures.  He got creative and added some captions to images of the two, new for 2024 Rebor Zombie T. rex figures.  These Rebor models are available in two colour schemes.  There is the “plain” version, and there is “jungle”.  They make a fine pair and perhaps the photographer was reminded of a double act as he added captions to his dinosaur photos.

The New Rebor Carnotaurus rex Premium Edition

By |2024-08-27T22:14:57+01:00August 27th, 2024|Rebor Models and Figures|0 Comments

Everything Dinosaur will be stocking the new for late 2024, Rebor Carnotaurus rex dinosaur model.  The dinosaur model Carnotaurus rex “Crimson King Requiem” premium edition is in 1:35 scale.  Essentially, it is a replacement for the popular “Carnotaurus Requiem” figure which was introduced a few years ago.  Rebor’s first Carnotaurus figure, the “Crimson King” was launched in 2017.  This is the third Carnotaurus replica to be added to the Rebor range. Team members expect this figure to be available in the late autumn.

“It is a most intriguing replica. The product images that have been released are amazing.  The theropod Carnotaurus sastrei is a favourite amongst model collectors and now those who missed out on the first two Rebor Carnotaurus figures have the chance to obtain this new Carnotaurus replica.”

New Rebor Zombie T. rex Figures Reviewed

Our thanks to dinosaur model collector Carl, who sent into Everything Dinosaur a review.  The review featured the new for 2024 Rebor Zombie T. rex cannibal corpse figures.  The reviewer had purchased both the “Plain” and the “Jungle” colour variant.  Carl asked us to check that these figures balanced without the use of the support stand.  We duly checked the models and made sure they were stable.

Carl was delighted with the Rebor models and sent us a review of the two zombie figures.

The Rebor Zombie Tyrannosaurus rex Cannibal Corpse Customer Review

Here is Carl’s Rebor Zombie T. rex model review (both colour variants).

The wait is over, the infected have arrived!

First of all, a huge thank you to the awesome award-winning team at Everything Dinosaur for supplying these two magnificent 1/35 scale replicas of the infamous Tyrant King, the Tyrannosaurus rex. Also, thank you to Rebor Studios.  A company to be congratulated in creating these two beautiful figurines.  Rebor deserves credit where credit is due.

The first thing about these figures is the size, a good-sized figure which has a gruesome but beautiful display presence. In essence both figures share the same sculpt but this model comes in two different colour variants.  There is the “Plain” colour variant which represents the female T. rex from the “Jurassic Park/World” movie franchise.  The second figure in the green camouflage colours is known as the “Jungle” variant. Again, it is from the “Jurassic Park/World” film franchise.

Both tyrannosaurs are supplied in a deluxe pack, having two severed arms, one from an Indominus and the other from an unfortunate Spinosaurus. The sculpt detail on these two beautiful dinosaurs is absolutely incredible.  You literally have to hold them in your hands to fully appreciate the effort involved in the creative process from Rebor Studio.

Praising the Rebor Zombie T. rex Figures

You are looking at loss of sight, peeling skin from the infection and horrible, open wounds.  In addition, muscle and sinew shows damage.  The tibia is exposed along with an open area of damage around the left flank exposing the rib cage.  However, no gastralia or possible floating ribs are showing.  This could be because of the massive trauma to the animal’s abdomen.

This figure has been skilfully designed and carefully thought out.  The sculpture displays a huge amount of detail.  For example, the hanging intestines are a highlight on both tyrannosaur figures.

The painting application has been carried out to a high standard.  It gives the appearance of a Tyrannosaurus rex which has lost its battle with an unknown, deadly disease.  This disease ultimately killed them both and they were reanimated as a zombie cannibal corpse.

Grab these two beautiful figurines at the fantastic Everything Dinosaur, a company dedicated to all dinosaur related models, the latest information on palaeontology and much more.

Grab them whilst they are in stock.  You will not be disappointed.

Our thanks to Carl for his review of the two, new for 2024 Rebor zombie T. rex models.

New Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Models Announced

By |2024-08-17T06:30:08+01:00August 16th, 2024|Rebor Models and Figures|0 Comments

Rebor have announced that they will be introducing two, new Tyrannosaurus rex figures in the autumn of 2024.  The Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream figures (Mountain and Skull Walker) will be in stock at Everything Dinosaur in a few weeks.

Both figures have been beautifully sculpted. The represent robust variants on a T. rex theme.  Each model measures around forty-two centimetres in length.  The head height is estimated to be around fifteen centimetres.

These new tyrannosaur figures will have articulated lower jaws.  We expect the tails will be flexible and require insertion into the base of the model to complete assembly. The forelimbs will probably be articulated too.

The Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream Pair

The Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream pair, Skull Walker and Mountain will be arriving on the same shipment. Everything Dinosaur customers will be able to select their preferred model, or perhaps pick up both.   A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur praised these figures and pointed out the innovative “arrow-shaped” end of the tail.  The spokesperson stated that the skin texture on these figures looked fantastic.

Commenting further on their appearance, the spokesperson added:

“Skull Walker and Mountain are excellent figures.  I am most impressed with the amazing texture and fine details of the scales.  For me, these two figures remind me of the Vastatosaurus rex from the 2005 film ‘King Kong’.  Their grey, pebbly appearance, blunt heads and large, irregular teeth remind me of the tyrannosaurine from Skull Island.”

New Rebor Zombie T. rex Models in Stock

By |2024-08-11T07:42:53+01:00August 11th, 2024|Rebor Models and Figures|0 Comments

The new Rebor Zombie T. rex models are now in stock at Everything Dinosaur.  Two fantasy dinosaur figures with different colour schemes.  They also have different severed arm accessories.  However, both models share the same Rebor build quality.  Marrying the fascination of prehistoric dinosaurs with the modern horror of zombies is a truly inspired concept.  We congratulate the design team at Rebor for their innovative creations.

The Rebor Zombie T. rex Models (Plain and Jungle)

Two Rebor zombie T. rex colour variants are available.  There is the brown version, known as “Plain” and the green version “Jungle”.  Both models measure around forty-one centimetres in length when assembled.  Collectors have to insert the tail into the rear of the model.  Fortunately, in the figures we looked at, this was easy to accomplish.  The head height is approximately eleven centimetres.  Each figure has a declared scale of 1:35.

The models are supplied with a transparent support stand.  Purchasers will also receive an Everything Dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex fact sheet.  In addition, each figure has a severed arm accessory.  The arms are different.  We think the “Jungle” version is supplied with a Spinosaurus severed limb.  In contrast, the “Plain” version of Zombie T. rex has the severed arm of an Indominus.  Of course, we could be wrong about the Indominus, but we like to think that Rebor have done this to acknowledge the influence of the “Jurassic Park/Jurassic World” influence on dinosaur designs.

Combining Dinosaurs and Zombies

Mike from Everything Dinosaur praised the team at Rebor for their creativity.

He commented:

“Marrying our fascination with dinosaurs with the horror concept of the living dead is an extremely clever idea.  Rebor has demonstrated that they are an innovative company.  The detail on these figures is most impressive.  If you like gore and fantasy figures, then these models are a must have.”

Both “Jungle” and “Plain” have articulated lower jaws and articulated arms.  The tail is flexible too. Rebor has declared a scale of 1:35 for these two tyrannosaurs.  The idea of these ancient apex predators being reanimated as mindless, ravenous undead creatures is both chilling and captivating.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur added:

“What makes these two T. rex figures compelling is the contrast between the power of these theropods and the otherworldly horror of zombies.  Rebor have once again demonstrated how creative and imaginative they are.”

These are two most impressive dinosaur figures.  Furthermore, these models are a fusion of awe-inspiring natural history and our darkest supernatural nightmares.
