That's really neat. Would buy before Chronicle.

It's $60, yet Chronicle wants to charge $300 for that POS 1/6 scale. :LOL:

The cost of many collectibles have become inflated. Do you guys honestly think a Hot Toys figure is worth $265 right out the factory? Fuck no. It might cost them, labor and all, about $80 per figure, if that.

Same with Mafex. Those little shits are now $100 figures, when just a few years ago they were $40 and $50. We’re talking around the time Suicide Squad came out. There is no way that improving the joints a little (to prevent breakage and looseness) can raise prices a whopping $50 dollars. There’s just NO way. I bet it costs them no more than $15 to $20 to produce some of those figures.

These companies, retailers included, are making a killing on collectibles now. The more sought after stuff anyway.

That rubber raptor is cool, but too much for the size. I have the Winston raptor by Rebor on PO, and it's half the price. Looks a bit better to me as well.

I think the cost as the video said was over the fact he used industrial rubber so it would hold up. Sculpt wise yeah it needs work, however if it was digitally sculpted and then molded with more detail I could look at the price point then.

Received the Rebor "Killer Queen" Rex and Titanoboa from BBTS. Both are really cool, my first Rebor pieces and well worth the money.

How's the paint quality?
Better than any of the Tyrannosaurs I've seen from Chronicle, and it only cost $45. The quality is very close to the protoype pics, the scales and pebbling of the skin stand out well. The teeth are a different material with a glossy coat, so they look realistic.

Looks like Chronicle is done for, so no 1/6 Grant or Raptor. It sucks, I was looking forward to seeing how Grant turned out.
