TYRANNOSAURUS REX - Unboxing Day 3



Oh, wow! On going to open the side of the box I realized there was a flap on the front. Tugging at the flap revealed that this is actually a window box, with the front panel held in place by two sticky Velcro tabs. So, I get my first look at the model itself...


It looks just like the photos all over the box. Lots of shades of muted browns and tans, with tons of fine skin detail. The proportions look good, though it’s hard to tell completely. There are some very prominent seam lines, though.  There’s a thick and clear one where the base of the tail attaches to the body, and there’s one on the head where the jaw meets the neck (the lower seam will presumably allow for the jaw articulation, but the upper part looks like that’s where the head, as  a separate piece, has been attached).
Interior of Box Flap
Through the packaging, the teeth and claws look good, but not spectacular (I may be spoiled by my X-Plus Godzilla figures, though). The teeth don’t appear to be as fine and individual as on the Rebor model, and the claws look to be painted a simple black. Time to get this guy out…
