Really like your take on these figures. A lot of reviews are from the average toy collector or a fan, so it's very refreshing to hear from a actual artist and designer perspective.

[@Mich_as]

As always, very hyped for video! I think that mattel should hire you. For real. It would be better for everyone.

[@dencocreations1701]

I mean fair points on the video, however, the membrane folding in on it self, is a trait of the Tyrannosaur, the bucks membrane in the lost world does the same thing so although it may be “unrealistic” it is accurate to the animatronics.

[@dodgson_9327]

If only you can be present at the Mattel Q&A happening at Sdcc, Flying to Cali does cost a fortune and on top of paying for comic con tickets. Would’ve been awesome to hear you speak out and tell Mattel about their issues and what needs to be fixed (Edit: welp turns out Mattel didn’t have any Q&A like they promised while at sdcc, that’s Mattel for ya)

[@Dan_Yerlll]

This was one of the most extensive and devastating reviews I have seen of a product. You absolutely ripped that thing apart in the most technical of ways.

[@ronniepatterson2827]

Your mods really made a difference in this T-rex. I havent been able to aquire one just yet & with the QC issues im seeing atm, im no longer stressing over it. Maybe by the time Mattel releases the Green Male variant "fingers crossed" ,they will have ironed a few kinks out, then again, this IS Mattel we talkin about lol

[@mettatone.x.356]

16:10 A good example for charper teeth is actually the Transformers Studio Series Grimlock figure (the Age of Extinction one). His teeth are quite pointly but still rubbery, so they don't have a big issue with causing harm.

[@goldzilla526]

In this video, the viewers not just learning about dinosaurs action figures, but also anatomies, sculpts etc.. Mattel should hire you..great job Dude.

[@gdragon4829]

The front view of the HC Rex is actually based off of the CGI model, which isn't as wide and exaggerated as the animatronic

[@lkungthe-nublarcollector3862]

This's what i think actually. HC rex head is looks more like CGI version. It's different from Animatronic. But i actually prefer the Animatronic version. I think replacement head of marco is good for the people that prefer the Animatronic one. But some people don't mind that because original is accurate to CGI

[@Cerato_animates]

i just ordered mine fingers crossed there is no quality control issues

[@andyschroyer7713]

Really liked your indepth review of this dinosaur. I agree that the feet and thighs are a bit to big. The one problem i have come across with mine is the thighs don't move. Love the way your modifications look. Very nice job.

[@damienbastings]

I like to think, in an alternate world, Kenner is still going with their figures. I was never born in the 90s, I never got to grow up with the toys, though I do own five of their figures, but sometimes I prefer if Kenner got the rights Just think of what a Rubber Indominus or even a Rubber Giga could've been Well at least we have you Marco, love the Rubbersaurs

[@realCriminalLawyer]

Well Kenner doesn't exist anymore. It's Hasbro now. And as we all know Hasbro trashed their toys in 2015

[@damienbastings]

@@realCriminalLawyer I'm fully aware Kenner is no more, which is why I said in an ALTERNATE WORLD! Like a joke or something, just a personal wish it was still around and they had the rights, ok?

[@lkungthe-nublarcollector3862]

12:08 I think the stretches membrane is mostly on CGI version. I remember the animatronic of JP or the scene where buck rex is roaring at sarah in trailers scene from TLW. Or even the scene when greenie rex dead and spino used his hand touched it in JP3. The membrane of those animatronics is actually bends inside a little bit. But not as much as this HC figure. I understand what you want to point it out

[@ParrotsAccount]

Marco in the video: **serious** Marco in the live chat: *”BLACK BANANA CLAWS”*

[@brenopteryx]

Great review as always! As much as I like the figure I’m a bit disappointed in the quality control, especially in regards to the paintwork. Mine has a big splash of dark wash on the left side of the torso (seems to be common across others too). I’ve considered taking some acetone to it but don’t want to risk damaging the plastic. But aside from that it’s really a great Rex!

[@seanmydlenski1063]

I would try using paint thinner. It is less abrasive but still gets the job done

[@ventris425productions5]

If paint is the main issue, then that’s not too bad, better then loose joints being common

I work in the movie bizz and I worked on the first two original Jurassic parks an I'm a sculptor and then all around practical effects maker! I agree with you with some of your points but for 50 bucks it's a pretty damn good Jurassic Park T-Rex! Can't be to nitpicky even if it's a collectors toy it's still good for 50 bucks! To get an exact replica of a Jurassic Park T-Rex you're going to have to pay over a thousand dollars for a large figure! Don't like the clown feet but motel does it so the figure can stand! Mattel is just you reusing their moles because of cost!

[@diypropsmodels7064]

I agree with you but Marco and Syrett Tech have made smaller feet for it and it can stand on it own

[@GamerJBYT]

Hey Marco Makes, I’m Joshua Bautista or Joshua Draws, I decided to make a new account. I also can’t wait for the premiere!

[@ElvisTheKing]

Looks great after the modifications. Definitely need to see a video on how you did these. And will wait to buy those rexy feet!

[@KibaRanger_Kou]

Picked mine up today. Very happy with it. Only complaint was that one of my arms was locked at the shoulder and I had to screw around a bit to get it to actually articulate properly. Other than that it seems to be going smooth.

[@dexterjones2201]

I got mine last week when I was on vacation and I am proud of myself. I do have a list of other dinosaurs they should bring in: Carnotaurus, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus and Nasutoceratops.

[@MUIZILLASAURUS_REX]

all of this should have been like the super colossal, having the option it independantly move the top or bottom jaw even with the main line figures, just a scaled down super collosal, and maybe make it rubber would have rather had that than like 10 diffent rexes

[@JurassicFunatic]

I love super in depth videos like this! It was neat hearing your input as a sculptor. I will say, the reason the teeth are still not sharp is because, despite it being an adult collector item, safety regulations don’t really care. In order for a company to market something as a “toy” at retail, it must still fit the safety requirements of a toy made for 3+. If they wanted to avoid these regulations, they would have to mark it as “not a toy, 18+”. It’s a bummer, but that the legalality.

[@akytheguest]

As for the rounded teeth I think mattel said that those arent adult collectors items, but they are just kids toys but for older children Normal toys are like for 6-7 year old children This is for 9-10 year old children So yeah, its probably meant for kids

[@diypropsmodels7064]

No, Mattel advertised them as adult collector not a kid toys

[@akytheguest]

@@diypropsmodels7064 the box says 8+ or something

[@diypropsmodels7064]

@@akytheguest but they advertise it as adult collector since the Amber Collection to the Hammond Collection, I think they include the “ 8 + “ as a excuse for things like round shape teeth and claws, big feet in case kids want them

[@shahzarsaurus8]

[@theeking5569]

Hello Marco is the review can you show us your progress on the giga next to the Hammond collection rex

[@Tyresaurus]

What are your honest thoughts on Mattel? Honestly, Mattel is no longer good anymore. Kenner is still the best one, until Marco smash it up his awesome Rubbersaurs, but it this was the official, then Kenner still holds it. But Marco really deserves the licence, if he does make Rubbersaurs in a factory, they may not have all the paints, maybe when the first start then it cuts cost or maybe retire them and then bring them back in a few years like they did from the start. (Great strategy I made) Marco deserves more. Marco, if u are reading this, thank you very much and still got some other stuff to say.

[@Mich_as]

Unseen opinion: marco should replace mattel

[@Tyresaurus]

@@Mich_as I always wanted that, it would be a same for Mattel to go... Or! Maybe Marco comes in Mattel and take over the Jurassic Line! Long live Marco!

I would be so happy If I can finally afford that :(

[@colleenoller8379]

[@planetdee3587]

The scale of the main line (I calculated) to be 1/19.2. With that, your normal rex (at 21.5 inches) comes to 34.4ft while this slightly longer tail (at 25 inches) puts it at 40 ft.

As much as I love the Hammond Rex, the ankle joints are way too weak for my liking. This can be especially annoying when I’m trying to use it in a stop motion. Has anyone else had this issue with their Rex??? If so any solutions?

[@MarcoMakesOfficial]

I have the same issues. You can try adding a drop of superglue in the joint and before it sets make sure you move the joint. that way it won't glue the parts but make the joint stiffer

[@ROB_LAW98K]

Thanks! I’ll try this out before the premiere

It depends on what there going for,if they are going to the animatronic look than yes wider face,if cgi,Then No

Excellent review! Are you able to re-do the head to make it more accurate or the teeth to make it look more streamlined and movie accurate?

Can anything be done with the eyes? It's bugging the shit out of me! I have some experience with acrylic paints...I wonder if I can paint over them somehow?

Ive noticed that my hammond collection t rex has a crooked right foot, which means i need to bend the right ankle joint to be tilted to the left a bit, and from a front view it looks bad in my opinion due to the tilted ankle.

[@ul-2079]

I had a similar problem with the mouth not closing when i got it the mouth didn't even snap open and close like it was supposed to like the joints in the jaws had been worn out and the arm on it was also glued in place the mouth because of the weak joints is now just half way open giving it a derpy look i guess i ended up buying another one and this one does have a good functioning mouth it snaps open and closes like its supposed to and unlike the other one the mouth doesnt gradually start opening every time you open and close it ive been playing with it for a while now and the mouth is still holding up and the joints still click

[@ajurassicfan]

Yea i do stop motion and this head will be EXTREMELY challenging, to get a natural roar or movement you have to start vet subtly and increase speed and slow down again like alot if frames not alot of frames and alot
