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.

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.

The amazing detail in the mouth of the model. Picture credit: Carl.

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.

Rebor Tyrannosaurus rex Cream Figures “Mountain” and “Skull Walker”

These two models seem to have been inspired by theropod dinosaurs seen in movies.  Both figures show some remarkable details.  In addition, they look quite fearsome.  Take care!  Those teeth are sharp!

Mike from Everything Dinosaur explained that the arms were quite difficult to move.  He suggested:

“It might be sensible to heat the base of the arms with a hair dryer.  A short burst from a hair dryer would make the arms easier to move and to position.  In addition, it can be a struggle to fit the tail into the back of the figure.  You can dip the tail plug into hot water or add a smear of vegetable oil to help it slide into place.”

To assemble the model the flexible tail must be inserted into the model’s body.  It can take some force to push the tail in.  A smear of vegetable oil on the tail plug can help the tail piece to slide home.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Rebor have produced several Carnotaurus figures in the past. The first Rebor Carnotaurus dinosaur model was introduced in 2017. This exquisite figure was supplied with a display base. In 2021, a second Carnotaurus sastrei model was introduced into the range.  All these figures have been hugely popular with collectors.”

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.

Check the size of the proposed base against the model to ensure that it is big enough to fit both feet. Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur

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.

The figure has amazing detail and is a welcome addition to any model collection. Can novel ways be found to help display the figure without the use of the transparent support stand? Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur.

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!

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 Rebor Zombie T. rex models make a fine double act. Their presence would grace the collections of the most ardent of dinosaur model fans. The Rebor replicas share a joke. Picture credit: Carl.
