Too bad he scammed a bunch of people then just left the internet. GOOD thing people are REMAKING the figures and selling them to people. Hopefully this one is to be remade.
Be lucky you didn't you woulda have been scammed 🤣 and if your were like 20 out of 1000 people who actually got there figure the rubber band rope in it broke apart plus he has scammed before on a different account
This looks absolutely insane! I remember when he first shared that he started sculpting the design, and seeing the end result, it was really quick! Everything looks perfect on it, I'm in love with the detail and the paint work. Not to discredit the other V-Rexes you've shown, but this in my opinion is the best looking one, both sculpt and paint wise
Wow- that's really cool. I was the sculpting supervisor for the '05 KONG remake at Weta Workshop and sculpted the Bull V-Rex head myself. This one's pretty close to the original and even captures details I thought went unnoticed! :)
This video and figure takes me back to them times where I would always watch King Kong fighting all 3 V-Rexes on my dad’s phone. Ahh good times those were
Thanks for this review, Andy. An amazing job from Artic figures. I also have pre-ordered this Rex in the painted version from ETSY. I hope, to get this Rex soon !!!
I placed my order for this item on 3/15/23 from Artic figures with august delivery. It’s October and I still don’t have anything from Artic figures. They refuse to give eta on figure, call it a small delay (6 weeks). Currently I’m trying to get a refund.
Me too. It’s like artic figures is making good products but provides bad service wtf. I placed my order around April in the Etsy website and they estimated around may through June but no they didn’t delivered the first batch until 4 months later. Then I had to message them in insta but they ghosted me for 8 days. I’m pretty fking pissed ngl but hope you get a refund friend
For $300, you get sticky paint, chipped teeth, unpainted areas, and the elastic on the figure snaps once you pose it. Speaking of posing, it's terrible. You are better off waiting for Arctic to sell his 3d model and ask another guy to make joints on the figure as well as painting yourself.
I’m getting some playmates 2005 Roaring Bull V-Rex toy vibes from looking at it when looking back at the V-Rex I always admire how is to be a T-Rex until evolution came into nature and turn it into V-Rex we know today the lore of the king Kong 05 I love the color textures between grayish bluish tones, but mostly blue skin colors. I love how crocodilian scales it has which Peter Jackson stated to give it more of a Ray Harryhausen feel to it
I always liked to believe in my own head cannon it evolved from a different dinosaur not a tyrannosaurid because of how it has 3 fingers, even though I’m pretty sure in the official cannon it is a tyrannosaurid
So awesome! Maybe we can a Venatosaurus (both subspecies), a Piranhadon, a Ferrucutus, maybe a Terapusmordax from this company someday... Wait... I just got a crazy idea 💡! I would so love to see the likes of Artic Figures produce figures of the extinct critters from all three eras… only in their more outdated reconstructions, like for example, Charles Knight’s Laelaps, Zdenek Burian’s Mosasaurus, Dino Crisis 2’s Inostrancevia. After all, Aulita Heroes did a fantastic job with their retro dinosaurs. Why not Artic Figures or, I dunno, Nanmu? What do you think? But that’s just me thinking out loud.
I pre ordered the V rex about a month ago from their website. I can not wait for it to ship. Im so excited to finally pose a V rex figure next to my Sh Monsterarts 2005 King Kong.
$300 is just too much for me. But it is really nice and I get why. Gonna have to stick with my Rebor. Great review! I hope a big company makes one like this more affordable someday.
This Vastatosaurus Rex figure is absolutely stunning, I cannot wait for mine to ship. Artic Figures created an absolute banger of a articulated V-Rex, and I also can't wait for the Silvaceratops
I remember buying the Rebor V-Rex a year ago because of your review of it lol. Also, will you get the SH Monsterarts 05 Kong? Does the GvK Kong go on all fours like 2005?
It looks like they combined the bull skull with the matriarch skull. I'm not keen on that. I also don't like how they've divided the body into segments to make it posable. I would like to see them make a terapusmordax.
Just got it, bud it's not worth the money. For $300, you get sticky paint, chipped teeth, unpainted areas, and the elastic on the figure snaps once you pose it. Speaking of posing, it's terrible.
Dude the website doesn’t look legit… I’ve ordered the T. rex doe and I haven’t had a confirmation about when it’s arriving (Edit) I replied to you but I don’t know if I sent it cause I can’t see it anywhere but if seen his instagram and it gives me info about how others scam as him on Etsy and also finally gives me a reason for Artic (ulation) figures lol. He’s messaged me and said that it’s a preorder and will be arriving in July-august, but I was planning for it to reach in June as it’s my bday then. I’m fine with it tho, it’s only about a month from now. If it’s okay with you Andy can I ask when you bought your doe and when it arrived?
He's Fully legit trust me. He's been flooded with a crazy amount of orders and his working to get them done as fast as possible. I'm not sure if you have instagram or not but if you do check him out on there as you'll see him updating people on his progress.
The doe arrived and it looks SICK! My paint job definitely didn’t do Justice compared to yours but I think it’s good for an idiot like me Also I’m thinking of ordering the v rex cause it’s only been my dream since the movie released that an articulated v rex was made and finally it has come true thanks to this man. He made a zilla infant bust so maybe….maybe another childhood dream could come true….
@@andysdinosaurreviews How do you know for sure? I messaged him about my 1/18 rex I paid for back in December (it was to be my only present for Christmas and my birthday in February because it was so expensive) and my concerns of being out of town and package theft, I was making sure I was respectful because I didn't want to piss him off. Another person had the same concerns, again, just concerns, not trying to be rude or angry at all, and he deleted both of our comments. I know for a fact he does this often as I have to sift through his Instagram everyday for updates. These are not "haters" coming to harass, they are people who have paid hundreds of dollars in full, they were given an ETA that came and went 3 times. You can't fault them for concern when you could just put out a post letting your clients know there has been a delay. That's a bare minimum and it shows respect and care for your customers. He really should be doing down payments instead of paying full if he's struggling running a business and avoiding messages from PAYING CUSTOMERS. The only way to get updates on anything seems to be scrolling through every post on his Instagram related to it, going through every single comment to look for anyone else asking about updates and he usually doesn't like people asking. If he gives an answer it's usually very vague and does not give a time frame. Something along the lines of "it will ship after the family packs." Okay. When is that then. You have to play Sherlock with this guy and it feels pretty scummy. I guess I'm just hoping you have some information that I don't because I really don't want to be right about this.
