It's a pleasure to introduce a figure full of personality but now is time to follow up your comments! :) Enjoy!

my son will be very happy! very nice ! very good!

OH Roger, dead link, I cant see teh pic....

can see now, thanks!

WOW! What a scary T-rex

I don`t know so much about dinoes , but from the books I just borrowed on the library, he has a much more correct head then the ones I have from Bullyland
Have they found new data about the TR ?
Or - the Bullylands are only called Tyrannusaurus ( no "rex"), - is there both a T-rex and one that is not a "rex" ?
Sorry if this is a silly question

A great model, thankyou very much for sharing

wow,,very very nice Rex,,a mean one

Rex is just short for T-rex

T-rex is just short for Tyrannosaurus

all are the same Susanne

now you are updated

ps,,,Rex means King

the king of dinosaurs,,the T-rex,,

Martien, I suppose Susanne knows it, she is only playing with the words! :)
By the way! Who will present it in DTF! I'm a member but I'm only posting here!

Uuuu, that's a nice one

is olready done,roger

by ikessaurus

Very fast!

He's pretty impressive!

This T-rex looks fierce on face!

I do not collect dinos but I have to say this one is pretty cool!

I will be the bad guy here but I don't like this Trex, it is maybe deluxe because Mojo sculptor makes very fine detail on this replica but the pose is a bit odd and unrealistic, the arms are far too big, the hands are prognated and they shouldn't and of course the tripod pose is really vintage.

But ok Mojo, I love your 2012 wildlife animals so much so 2012 will be a great Mojo year

...A very good friend for my T-Rexes boys!

Nice Rex, I don't collect dinos though.

He will really feel at home on your shelf

oh, i was thinking the same thing, but didnt' want to say anything b/c i'm not up to date on dino anatomy. Mostly it's the arms that bug me - sculpter was probably trying to reflect latests research that rex's arms were relatively powerful, with large muscle attachments, not useless after all. even if it could lift a couple hundred pounds with its arms, they still wdn't have muscles large enough to compare to the leg muscles, which moved tons. circumference relative to length, i'd think his arm muscles would be more like a human weight lifter's arms.

come to think of it, he does sort of look like a body builder with all his muscles bulging out. Perhaps his stance is body builder flexing!

Leg muscles that size, wouldn't he need more butt to give those huge things something to attach to?

but i like his head very much. not so much the goth black eye circles, but that's just paint. he's got a great intense stare.
and he's a rex, so he's a

Now you mention muscels + painting around the eyes, - it just struck me that the thing that bothers me is that the muschels are painted on, - or rather the shades are painted on

I don`t like a lot of shading, any shades should come from the mold of the figure IMHO.
Sorry, I have said this before

But you are right, the head is really wonderful, correct or not, he is amazing - and just as scary as he should be, even if he is a scavenger

Christophe, there's no bad boys when we say what we think in a correct way as you are doing! :) Your knowledge and wise comments are a nice contribution to those who wants to read them.
This is a Deluxe figure probably because it is a 1:15 scale replica!
About the pose I know the actual tendency is to make reconstructions in a more horizontal posture! I also don't like those Godzila but that is not the case here. Dinosaurs were living animals, not statues, they surely were able to adopt some different poses like it happens with actual creatures!
Paleonthology is not Mathematics and dino collectors look at dinosaur replicas as it was an ortodoxe reconstruction of a skeleton and not a representation of a living creature.
I agree with the harms and the tripod pose, but it is not a Vintage pose, or is it Safari a vintage brand? :)
This t-rex remembers me the Papo gnu, some inaccuracies, in fact but a very artistic expression in an impressive figure.
Well, you surely remember my vision about Paleonthology in this topic and also a metaphoric way to express my adventure in a dino forum full of real experts and also of people with fossilized knowledge! I'll be back there but with the user name Crocobert so nobody knows who I am!

@ Sergey
Wonderful collection


This TRex looks funny, but i collect only stegosaurs.

Only stegosaurs, what a nice subject for a collection! I don't collect dinosaurs but a Miragaia is in my wish list!

Rogério, I didn't know you had some adventures on DTF, how did I missed that Maybe Or maybe I spend my time on STS
DTF is a serious forum with serious dino collectors and STS is a serious forum with serious extant animals collectors
They talk about replica as we do, sometimes very passionate and sometimes wisely and seriously.
I read and participate in a lot of topics about, for example, PAPO jaguar vs SCHLEICH jaguar, accurate black rhino, the PAPO cheetah red eyes ...
We discussed a few days ago to know what exact specie is the PV skunk
We are learning a lot from each other and I learned a lot about dinos on DTF.
Here we are more cool about dinos because it isn't our first cup of tea but I can't think this is a good Trex when I look at the pics.
Especially a Deluxe one must be more accurate IMHO. This one is a good toy... But not a good replica.
I need to say that because Mojo pay attention to collectors point, also because Mojo wildlife is a big improvement and I'm sad it's not the same with dinos. Maybe Mr James may have to find someone like you on DTF

About the tripod pose, you are right, it is the Carnegie and SAFARI ltd curse But at last, their last Trex is not a tripod one and his hands are not prognated.


The big problem with two footed animals is to find a solution to help them standing: A base like the last SCHLEICH ostrich ? A smaller one like the SAFARI Ltd ostrich ? Too big foot like the COLLECTA suchomimus ? A tripod pose like a lot of dinos ? Having a well balanced model is very very hard IMHO

Just look at the latter T-rex from Bullyland, - always eating grass and hurting his nose

but there is a 5th solution, as we see on the first TR from Bullyland : a smaller head



- perhaps not accurate, but he does not fall on his mose

Hmmm, I wonder how the TRs kept upright whan they were alive

Perhaps they DID support themselves when standing still, using the tail like a kangaroo

Well, I don't collect dinosaurs and I'm not a dino expert, so I cannot say anything about accuracy. But I must say I like this model because of few things: nice texture, nice coloration (he may hide himself into fallen leaves during Autumn ), and SCARY CHARACTER. In my opinion his pose, and head is full of character what makes him nice toy which can be use for play (maybe somewhat like Godzilla destroying city or something like that )
But of course, dino toys shall be also educative, so if he is not accurate with current science it is not educative In future dinos, Mojofun shall do more research, maybe ask our experts for help
