- Smilodon, the epitome of the sabre-toothed cat!
These beautiful models from Rebor capture a majesty and awesomeness that likely hit many of us the first time we learnt about these incredible animals. Rebor gives us highly detailed, beautifully painted, and absolutely aesthetically stunning animals that belong on the shelf of any fan of big cats, especially prehistoric ones.
The detail on these has to be seen to be believed, and in this video, you can hopefully see just how marvellous a job Rebor has done on these iconic prehistoric mammals!

Rebor does things other prehistoric toy companies almost never do.
They certainly have their 'oddities' 😁😉
Awesome review on the fantastic and beautiful Rebor Smilodon
Also I hope you have a great day and can't wait to see more.
Thank you, this was an awesome piece from Rebor!
Oook.
I was not expecting you to review Rebor figure! Surprised in a good way!
Haha well I don't review by brand. Just what I really like. And for all non-Chinese models you guys get them way earlier than we do here, so by the time it hits all the reviews are out and I won't be adding much value to what's already online! 😉
Man, those teeth and gum detail are absolutely immaculate, it looks so cool.
It is downright sick. I think if Rebor decided to go for accurate representations in a big way, will be a real force to reckon with!
Love your video, love the model, and the music is so sassy!
Thank you for your kind words. Time really flies; I can't believe how long it's been since I first got these delightful Smilodons!
Black panther like version of these would be SO cool! Neat review!
That would be an absolute Panthor for me! 😍
@@DinosDragons Yes same!
Pretty kitties!
One thing to note though (since you mentioned that your mammalian anatomy is a bit lacking) the right hind leg that is outstretched has it's ankle (or Hock) at an awkward angle.
When a digitigrade animal has the leg outstretched past the butt like that the ankle would be either pointing straight downwards or be angled slightly towards the body. Your Safari is a good example of proper ankle angle as well as the pic you showed at 9:27.
With the way that ankle is angled in these models it gives the impression that the animal either has a deformity in that joint or had an injury that limits that joint's movement.
Thanks always appreciate your input! I usually run my mammal stuff by a vet friend of mine but this time I failed to do so. I'll definitely ask him when he gets back. Thanks again for your insight! 😁
@@DinosDragons No problem 😊
Got my tiger version today from Amazon prime yesterday, cheaper than Aliexpress and no need to wait. Debating if I want the jungle or tiger , I like jungle more because the fur on jungle seems a bit more dirty. However , I am going to get ice age no mater what, so it’s better to get the tiger since the pattern is different. So, I am going to have exact same set with you , not copycat just better combinations for different color and pattern. The jungle ver on yesterdays prime day was only 63, so tempting
The problem I have with Rebor's Smilodon is that the colour variants all look damn good! Even if I had the money to pay for them all, I don't have the space 😔😔😔 Any of those variants you name I would be happy to own!
@@DinosDragonsI feel the same way. I put my tiger one with Nanmu, and I think they look great together. Wish I can show you. I am waiting for the ice age. I separate PNSO and Nanmu, they are just too different.
I was skeptical about the detached parts from Rebor, didn’t like it especially for Kiss. So I didn’t get any Rebor. This one is good, almost can’t tell unless from the top. I am waiting for the 恐鱷, I think it should be ok since the scale design can kind of waive the connection part.
Very good and scientifically informative again 👍
It's a nice looking model.
Me now waiting for Rebor Kiss T.rex.
Got my Gastonia! 😀
How on earth did you manage to get one at this late date!? I hope you didn't pay too much for it!😲
@@DinosDragons I made a search-post over local ebay. And suddenly someone wrote me that a NL collector shop has one...new and sealed. He saw it there. Then I searched the shop (has only facebook page, but I searched it really exists in NL ) , wrote the owner and made the deal.
I thanked the dude from ebay for the information... he said: No problem dude - the world of real dinosaur statue collectors is very small!
Actually I payed the same like I would have payed for release price + shipping from USA. Really :)
Frustrated with the balance issue with Rebor made theropods n their obvious seams linking the tails with the bodies, I had decided to stop purchasing Rebor product n instead went with Namu until I came across this smilodon by Rebor. I love this "ice age" figurine with its acute details n a very impressive size. This somewhat restores my confidence in this company. For once, I find no flaws with this figurine. Great job Rebor!
Unfortuantely, bipeds really have big issues, since they're dead and static compared to real animals who are making constant changes all the time to stay and move upright. Hopefully Rebor will keep improving, and also focus on more accurate dinosaurs as well! These Smilodons are really amazing and I have no regrets getting two!
Wow, I already have the snow leopard but the Tiger is very stunning !!
This is not snow leopard,this is saber tooth tiger!
Indeed it is! When I saw the release image it looked nice but not as striking, but in hand the design just pops! 😁
Respect! Awesome review 😎🔥
Thank you, this was actually such a pleasure to review!
Oooh ook.
Hello, Hope all is well.
Rebor never fails to impress.
Stunning and beautiful to look at.
I too have a pair of pussycats.
The size and weight is impressive.
Rebor is at the top for quality at this level.
If they went solely for scientific accuracy with what they can do now, I think they'll give other companies even more of a run for the money. I have never really gone in for their designs, but I would really love the Titanoboa which is now no longer available without costing an arm and leg 😅☹
This amazing piece of gold is without a doubt one of the best representations of a Smilodon and I'm so glad that you've decided to own this, my dear Sir
Thanks Rajitha. The good news is that I think there are still some on sale at regular retail prices, although once they get sold out the prices usually go up. If you could, at least get the Ice Age one.
I might get a dire wolf as I love wolves, and it's nice to have a prehistoric model. But we'll have to see how much it costs first! I'm trying to conserve funds especially in this crazy period. If Rebor does it as well as this Smilodon, I foresee I might actually start buying mammals from them, which would be crazy expensive compared to the PNSOs 😥😥
wow今年虎年，冰河世紀有劍齒虎玩具好好可愛呀！🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅🐅💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
哈哈，这是特地为了虎年而上的涂装！我觉得相当逼真，非常高兴买到！
@@DinosDragons 係呀，好可愛那隻劍齒虎🐯🐯🐯🐯🐅🐅🐅🐅💋💋💋💋💋
Thanks for review. I have both from 1st release, pre-ordered both from 2nd (jaguar & tiger), but seller din't ship it yet
Wow you must really LOVE these! And yet having these two, repainted so well and differently, it doesn't feel to me like I have two of the same. Especially with those interchangeable heads. Rebor really did good here!
They were basically the most robust and muscular cat to ever live.
I hope they put African leopard like spots in this model or lion like coloring since Smilodon popuater lived in Savannah’s and fatalis lived in the forest
Oh they actually have a jaguar version, called the Jungle. Really incredible paint variations all around!
@@DinosDragons Can you show me the link
Would like a review on the new Rebor T-rex kiss
I will probably get it, but unfortunately for Western figures by the time we get them (very late), you would already have it and the videos would be out. But if I find enough to say about a model, I will usually put up a video anyway. We'll see! 😁
Nice review, thank you as always!
What do you think of their upcoming Tyrannosaurus figures? (One of them has lips) Will you get them?
I'm still undecided. I think the sculpt is a very beefy bruiser type which is missing, very much like the Blue Rhino sculpt. That alone is a big plus! I wish Kiss had the colour scheme of Tusk, I would definitely have gotten it for sure! I don't often watch reviews but for this one I might decide after watching some. Pretty sure you guys will get Rebor way earlier than I do! 😁
Did the Smilodon really had stripe like the modern tigers?
No one really knows! It's up to interpretation 😁 Also, keep in mind that this tiger stripe pattern was a special to commemorate the Year of the Tiger. The other colours are more what you would tend to see in most artist's depictions.
Hi my friend. I want to tell you that your videos help me to understand the complex science behind this models and are a very good introduction to read the papers.
Are you going to review the eofauna diplodocus? That would be awesome.
Greetings from Mexico
Thank you Bruno! I might do the EoFauna Diplodocus in future, but not for the next month or so at least.
I love every cat in the world and btw do u know that the sibirion tiger is the largest cat in the world. And it is almost going extect BC of human 😢
Yes that is very very sad indeed!
You are right, the Siberian tiger is the largest at up to 300kg. In fact many books like to exaggerate the sizes of prehistoric cats but in fact the extant Siberian tiger was larger than many of them.
How are you 🙂
With models of this quality, very happy thank you! 😁
Smildons werent actually tigers. they belonged to a group called "Machairodontinae".
Thanks! Yes they are not tigers, I mention that in the video.
where can I buy such a figurine?
Check the online stores. Depending on which part of the world you're in, you should be able to find a store that doesn't kill you with shipping. However, Rebor tends to be sold out really quick. So if you can't find them there, you will have to try out EPay.
Whats your favorites extinct animal?
Wow that's really really hard to pin down! My favourite group are the sauropods, but my favourite dinosaur is Carnotaurus. I haven't given it a thought to mammals and other groups though!
Smilodon year of the tiger is tiger's ancestors?
No, totally unrelated. Smilodon belongs to the now completely extinct machairodont family. I was referring to the colour scheme chosen because this is the Year of the Tiger, and the tiger is quite a majestic animal in our culture.
@@DinosDragons who is tiger ancestors, like lions have north american lion type
Ooook.
This Is a best smilodon when I see I colector too what size is
I mention the size in the video, and also have some size comparisons with other figures near the end.
🐯🐯🐯🐯🐯
I wish we had some articulated lions, tigers, leopards/Panther etc like really articulated lol i may have to learn to render in Zbrush and add articulation lmaoooooo with a resin printer
If you do, drop me a line. I would love to see what you do! 😊
Oooooook.
Ow
