Got mine yesterday, absolutely breathtaking figure. Other companies take note, we want sauropods in this size.

@@MahmWithThePlan Agreed!

@ronniepatterson2827 It's about time! And when Rebor produces dinosaurs, they go big and go home. And big is what we need in sauropods!

@Mahmoud-rz9mb For sure! True 1:35 for sauropods please!

@@DinosDragons Agreed! Seems like Sauropods overall are more popular than ever, & I couldnt be happier about it.And how about Mattels huge Sauropod selection, with more on the way with the Hammond Brachiosaurus! Amazing times Sir.

It really is a happy day for sauropod lovers indeed, who have given up hope of ever seeing a decently sized 1:35 sauropod. And Rebor has done it. I'm really happy and it's defnitely a must have. I believe you will be very happy with them, especially if you experiment with the neck poseability more than I did here. In retrospect I was too conservative.

Thank you! I believe you will find it worth the wait! 😁

Thanks, and nice to see you here again! It's a delightful model for sure!

Yes many people still prefer EoFauna's. Actually, the unusal proportions aside, if the EoFauna was just bigger, it would be a lot of people's favourites. And of course, more affordable.

Congratulations! I think you will be quite dumbstruck when you actually receive the Patagotitan! 😁

Behind it feels the teeth of allosaurus haha

@@Torvophaganax It cold also kick said teeth in, haha.

@Torvophaganax 🤣🤣🤣

@The Poke'Saurus Yes indeed I have heard that idea! I was going to expand a bit on the various theories of tail use, but it would have made the video even longer! 😁

@@DinosDragons Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard of it at least.

For sure! And 1:35... wow!

Yikes! I should have talked about that! 😫 In fact this is something I was very interested in a few years ago when I came back after a long break from dinosaurs and saw this new idea. Briefly, the main evidence comes from the Czerkas 1992 paper, where evidence of dermal spines were found in the Howe Quarry. Some were isolated, some loosely associated with semi-articulated tail vertebrae, but there were also skin impressions around the distal, whiplash part of the tail suggesting the spines were located on the mideline. It's important to note they don't know how far up it went, but it's reasonable to suggest that they continued up the proximal tail. They then suggest it could even go further along the body and neck, just like in hadrosaurs, but that's all speculation really. Since then this has been a common trope and when WWD ran with the idea, I suppose that's how it became the norm.

Wow I haven't thought of that. Usually I'm so busy that when I review a model, I just do comparisons with similar animals except for special cases that just beg to have a popular antagonist, e.g. Triceratops vs T Rex. Also my collection has grown so big that I have to rotate them, so not everything is within easy reach.

Thank you mate! It's a little easier because of course sauropods are my favourite group 😁 The EoFauna does have its merits. It does have very spindly proportions and even the contour of it looks odd compared to other reconstructions I've seen. It's a favourite of many collectors and many viewers have shared they prefer it still to the Rebor. That said, I think you will be very happy with yours when you have it in hand. Just the poseability of it is enough to keep you amused to come up with the best poses. Truly a magnificent offering from Rebor! 👍👍

I think you got a very good price for it! It's even better in person, and if you are less conservative than I am with bending the neck, you can get some pretty diverse poses from it!

Larramendi's paper calculates volume, estimating pneumaticity, and so on. It is a rigorous process for estimating the density of the dinosaur to a degree I have not seen before. However it does not detail how this morphology was arrived at, nor was it intended to represent any final appearance. Still, the important thing is that _you_ like it. Don't let anyone else tell you different. 😊

Haha indeed I loved it, and I have reviewed it. I think you will see how awesome both are! 😁

EoFauna is well-known for its rigorous adherence to the science. Unfortunately on a personal aesthetic level I just didn't like the form of their diplodocus. However if you want scientific accuracy, it's always safe to go with EoFauna. But if you want also the size for a 1:35, this one I believe is closer.

It’s too small

@@starbirds2464 yes it s small compared to this one but here in italy the price is 30 euro. Really a good price for the size and quality. I like painting more. Love latest rebor models but i ll buy eofauna instead of this one if i had to choose only one.

@Cuiffo Arancione The EoFauna is indeed still very popular, but it does have some rather odd proportions compared to how people envision it, and of course there is that small size. Is Rebor a lot more expensive in Italy? I would have imagined Europeans would get a better price than elsewhere. The shipping from EverythingDinosaur shouldn't cost as much as to the US or Asia.

@@DinosDragons rebor here is probably cheaper than in USA.

@@DinosDragons I live in Australia 🦘 and rebor is double the price of eofauna

Diplodocus you may be able to get from Everything Dinosaur if you're near the UK. If you are nearer the US, see if Dan from Dan's Dinosaurs can help you.

Lol no. Did he put it up for preorder? Sounds like you have though! 😁

No, one of them is clearly of a more yellow tint. To be fair however I use very bright lights to show the detail, so I may also have lost some of the more nuanced detail. In addition, depending on how your monitor is set up, it might show different colours from mine.

@@DinosDragons I have both on pre-order so I’m happy to hear there is more variation in the colors. Thank you very much for the reply!

Haha of course. Chinese forums are discussing it furiously.

Like punching a snowman

@Omarlversen I couldn't think of a more apt description! 😨 I think most movies have not covered the less obvious dangers posed by herbivores, even unintentionally and probably even unnoticed by the dinosaur in question! The horrors that would actually unfold are chilling.

@VENATOR That's a horrible thought...😖 would make a real scene of horror in a film with dinosaurs!

Here you go 😊 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrJkndyc0cmylmw.html

It's ironic that someone else just said that it's the round separated scales that he didn't like! This one has a mix of both 🙂

@DinosDragons but aren't the seperate scales more realistic? Anyways, still beautiful, but i worry about the neck snd tail

Yes indeed. For _carnegii_ I take the median of 25m and arrive at roughly 1:30 scale.
