Wizkids T-Rex

[Kelcore]

Ever since I was a kid, I've been crazy about Dinosaurs. I'm probably underselling that a bit. Regardless, my love for the creatures has carried over into adulthood. So, when Wizkids previewed this I was...apprehensive. Their preview image was taken at a less than flattering angle that really didn't show much of thw mini. Then they showed up in stores and  sure enough, the "mini" pretty much rules. 

T-Rex has always been my favorite. Especially in a fantasy context. I was always amused when reading those old Marvel Conan comics when Conan and his sidekicks were harrowed by a dragon and the reveal of said "dragon" was actually a Tyrannosaurus. 

Anyway, I've never had the opportunity to paint many Dinos since I took up this hobby. And I usually didn't like what options were out there. I'm really grateful that Wizkids released something cool AND affordable.

Very nice mini and paint; very realistic tones!

I saw him in my FLGS this weekend, and he really is an amazing sculpt.  You have given him an equally amazing paint job!

Easily the best T-Rex sculpt and paint job I've seen! Seriously, you painted it up so well.

I wasn't sure what to make of it when I saw the unpainted sculpt online. Definitely have to buy this one now. Straight up amazing.

Right there with you.  When I saw the previews for it, I was all "ehhhh...maybe not".  Then I saw it in person and was sold immediately and had to get some paint on it right away. Thank you!

Awesome!

Love it!

 

I share the love for Dinos and such, you might want to take a look at my Lost World Project ( see sig) if you like them...

how big is he?

Wowzers.  My first thought when I saw the image was, "This must be the sample picture from the catalog to show you how it's *supposed* to be painted..." and then, "... oh, wait, this is how it *is* painted?  Whoa."

That is very high praise indeed. Thank you!

Well, regret passing this over when I saw wizkids previews. Now to see if the storms have it, otherwise its several months if waiting for restock. 

 

Beautiful paint job.

I have several T-Rexes from different brands, and I want one of these now!

I hope you find one, it's a cool figure and fun to paint! I'm pretty sure they'll be easier to track down than say, a Beholder.

LOL, I checked out a good deal of your Lost World thread (which I love).  Yes, you do have lots of Rex's! Still, always room for one more, eh?

Awesome job on the Dino!

 

I kinda regret not getting one myself with my recent order but I think this wave is either not as popular as the previous or retailers/wizkids brought in more product. 

 

Either way eventually I'll get one or two.  Need to convert one for a zombie version.
