Statue Sideshow - T-Rex: Tyrant King Statue

[Blade-of-the-Moon]

Thanks . I should look into the deinonychus then. Prefer my displays in uniform scale.

Deinonychus? I highly doubt if one is made it will be in scale. The Velociraptor is about the same length as the T-Rex maquette.

I think the Deinonychus will probably be in the same size with Dilophosaurus. And may be a couple too. SS won't precisely make every dino in uniform scale...but I think they will definitely make someone bigger and someone smaller to make us visually accepted when put them all together. Well...Stegosaurus is an exception...I still don't know why it has prerogative to be much bigger.

Only have a few minutes today but wanted to go ahead and share a few quick shots comparing the previous T-Rex with the new one.

This pic is a little deceptive given that the position of the smaller Rex makes it look a little larger than actual size.

Overall I'm REALLY happy with the paint and pose (more pics to come if you'd like), but the one issue I have is the rear foot won't seat all the way into the base. This is the first time I've had this issue and after a quick inspection it's hard to tell exactly what's keeping it from seating all the way. Anyone else seen this issue?

Nice pics!

In regards to the foot issue, my Spinosaurus was like that. I think maybe the hole wasn't deep enough, I could have drilled it out a bit but it sat so close I let it go. It didn't appear unstable at any rate.

Great pics Chris C, & yes, please keep them coming! Interesting how the overhead shot shows the similarities in pose for both Rex sculpts. I also own the Krentz Rex, & was wondering if the new bigger version compares, detail wise, with the old? Maybe some close-up pics with both side by side would be great.
Thanks & congrats!!!

Chris, mine does not look like that. Both feet are planted with just the tiny gap between foot and surrounding ground like your's front foot, but a smaller gap.

I am surprised that this piece turned out pretty good in terms of paint application. Especially after seeing the Carnotaurus paint disaster and the plasticky look of the Styracosaurus.

I had that issue with the first edition Carnotaurus. I had to cut very carefully with a hacksaw like 1/8" off the hard wire that goes in. After that the foot made contact with the base.

Sideshow's factories seem to excel at earthtone painting.or at the lest less detailed paint apps. The Triceratops now might be an issue.

Obviously you'll have to display her beside your life size Tyrannosaurus, Chris. That would make for one heck of a photo.

I like it that your T.rex lacks those black "speckles" between its jaws. I hope that mine turns out like that too.

Anyways, thanks for the awesome pics!

That is ridiculous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got mine and it looks great. Sorry to hear about you tooth, hopefully SS can get you sorted out.

My guess is that the tooth broke, and they reglued it but due to being in a hurry and not waiting til it dried rushed it on and forgot paint.

For the amount of money you hate to see one defect. But it is fixable easily.

Wow sorry for the teeth, it's a shame!!

Here's mine
