Jurassic Park 1:5 Female T-Rex Bust Pre- Order

[Chronicle CS]

Hey guys no set date for a pre-order yet, but wanted to share the first pictures.

"Our 1:5 Male T-Rex bust was a complete success and we are following it up with our 1:5 Female T-Rex bust. This but will feature the female paint job which is more on the brownish side and logo wall plaque like the Male T-Rex.

Thank you to Jonathan Chu for loaning us his original Femal T-Rex to mold and Kristina Lucas Francis and Patrick Dowdakin on the amazing sculpt and clean up.

We hope to offer this piece before the end of the year."

[Chronicle CS]

Everyone needs to give Jonathan Chu a huge pat on the back for letting us borrow his 1:5 Female bust!

THIS IS IT, guys. THIS IS THE STUFF! The piece looking beautiful there already, Paul! Rock on!Really cool of you to lend them your bust for this.

[Amanasaur]

Thanks thx217 and Chronical, this stuff brings back childhood memories of the making of book where I'd just stare at the 1:5 Maquette pic for hours.

[daz1999]

Oh yes!

Thanks THX and Chronicle!

[Leekson]

I think Jonathan Chu deserves final product for free!

[dannygarrett09]

Thank you Jonathan Chu it wouldnt be possible without you

[tamaboy311]

Hey Paul, do you guys already have a painted version?

[candyrocket786]

CHU is now GOD in these parts.

[samhain81]

Great news, but please consider at least adding some of the iconic colours onto the base yellow/red. I love the sculpts, but the base was just so dull on the Male bust in my opinion. My only reason for not pre ordering it.

:iagree:

[tamaboy311]

Assuming this is the original cast, this should be the final product and is gorgeous!!

[thx217]

You are welcomes guys. Every JP fans should own this beautiful piece.

Paul, not sure if you guys already have something similar in the works. I have a resin JP logo plaque(not flat) attached to my custom female bust. Which is dead accurate and goes perfectly with the scale and can be painted in color :D and I believe that's everyone wanted? At least I do. You can use it if you want. But I'll have to ship the entire bust over to you since it's glued to the board.

[candyrocket786]

So is that similar to what we are getting?

Wow!

[Chronicle CS]

It will have a plaque that matches the male, except it says Jurassic Park.

This is brilliant! Thanks to THX and Chronicle for making it! Still can't believe we are finally get stuff like this from the Stan Winston sculpts!

I only have one issue, the muscles/ligaments/flap of skin at the back on the mouth looks to pronounced and needs to be set inwards more to match how it looks on the animatronic, cg model and in the film :) If this gets sorted, you will have a definite pre-order from me!

[Leekson]

Although I don't have money to order this beauty, I would like to see a neck just a little bit longer on this bust

I noticed the same thing. It has to go a little more into the mouth.

[thx217]

Is this the bust you sent them?

No. This one in the picture is my custom female(retooled from the male cast) that was done many years ago.

[dannygarrett09]

I have to say it may be retooled from the male but when there were no company's producing park products I really loved this one as the eye and the mouth is epic and the back board is not over powering too.

The lower jaw is to short tho. If the mouth was close, it would have a big over bite.

[dannygarrett09]

Agreed but at the time when hardly any one cared about Jurassic Park and you saw these It made me really want one like this

Lots of thought went into it. :)

:hilarious: People doesn't seem to know there's this common thing called lens distortion. You called that just from this photo from this specific angle. :doh!: I can show you a pics of it from a different angle and you'll see a lot things differently. Don't judge a piece from a single shot. :)

Of course I can't judge from this pic, but it does looks that way. Somebody agreed with me too so is not just me. It looks awesome don't get me wrong.:stick:

No problem at all. :laugh: Someone will always agree with you anywhere on anything.

[Chronicle CS]

This is not made from the male, this is cast from the female.

[tamaboy311]

This is not made from the male, this is cast from the female.

Do u guys have a painted one already?

[Chronicle CS]

It's currently being molded.

I'm actually fixing the jaw flews (sp?) on the final castings. I too thought they were a little puffy. The plaque is not painted garishly due to it being carved from stone. It will match the Male bust.

[Chronicle CS]

Bathed in silicone now....

Damn!!!!! Amazing!!!

[daz1999]

That looks so good ,I nearly broke down and got the male but glad I waited and the wait wasn't too long to see this going forward :)

[candyrocket786]

Just waiting to preorder.

Is this one going to have glass eyes?

[tamaboy311]

Just waiting to preorder.

Is this one going to have glass eyes?

dont think so, although they did a great job with the male.

[SuperDinoHunter]

What??? Awesome looking bust!!! Any chance of a base that it can sit in so it can be displayed on a shelf and not just wall mounted?

Thanks Paul & THK217.... Take my damn money... One month at a time of course 👍

[67L88Stingray]

What??? Awesome looking bust!!! Any chance of a base that it can sit in so it can be displayed on a shelf and not just wall mounted?

No chance of that, would require a major redesign and/or odd looking mount like Weta Smaug.

[Phil the sixth]

Not really...if only Chronicle decides to include that litlle black base on which Paul puts it when he's displaying the T-rex bust at the cons...

[Phil the sixth]

The real question is...do I need the female to go with my male bust?Of course there are some differences,especially the colour palet but altogether both look very similar in appearance.900 euros is a lot of money to spend on a second T-rex bust which has minor variations.And I also have the female T-rex maquette in pre-order which will make it easier to pass on the female bust.

My display : female T-rex maquette in front of the male 1/5 bust.Can't get any more iconic imo.
Thank you Chronicle for these awesome releases and special thanks to Jonathan for hooking up Paul with the female bust!

[67L88Stingray]

Not really...if only Chronicle decides to include that litlle black base on which Paul puts it when he's displaying the T-rex bust at the cons...

I thought they meant something like the Raptor bust, not just a stand for the wall mount.

[dannygarrett09]

would love the little black base even if we have to pay extra would defo pay for it

[The SHOGUN]

Very exciting. I'm sure it's the angle but in this shot it appears there is less neck on this bust compared to the Male bust. Won't effect me as I didn't get the male bit just an observation.

[tamaboy311]

No chance of that, would require a major redesign and/or odd looking mount like Weta Smaug.

this is what we mean. i have the smaug bust and i love that base!!!

[candyrocket786]

This is going to be an instant sell-out.

Going to be hell waiting for this preorder.

[Chronicle CS]

Same amount of neck, the female is just slightly smaller than the male.

[The SHOGUN]

Same amount of neck, the female is just slightly smaller than the male.

Excellent Paul, excellent!

is the base going to be the same color as the Lost World base (a little dark and weathered)? Or is it going to be bright and pristine like Jurassic Park was before that SOB Nedry screwed everything up?

[The SHOGUN]

one more question, and I'm sorry to break your chops...just overly excited for this masterpiece!

can the eye be a little more centered as opposed to the Male bust? in all the scenes I've seen the eye was never looking towards the tip of his snout...it appeared to be slightly off-center.

http://www.jurassicworlduniverse.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tyrannosaurusrex-03.jpg

[tamaboy311]

Smaller bust = less casting material = less pricey? :drooling:

[SuperDinoHunter]

this is what we mean. i have the smaug bust and i love that base!!!

Very excited for this bust! And yes that extra base, if it can be included it would be fantastic!

[Chronicle CS]

Yes slightly smaller, same amount of work, will not be less.

The base will match the lost world base, it's stone and weathered so it needs to fit in the same universe.

Regarding the eyes, Stan's team sculpted a small raised bump to indicate where the pupil should be painted, it's in the same place on the female and the male.

I'll be painting this one as well, start digging up the reference guys. Right now the one at the Perot museum everyone thinks is to dark and to stripped. We based the Breakout on that paint job and everyone likes it, even Universal. I think that Universal may want the same paint job as the Perot museum after seeing all that we've done to date.

Let's get the paint debate out of the way, we have a little time, so start posting pics and tearing them apart before I start slinging paint.

The male was very subtle and I think that Toynami exceeded my expectations...

[candyrocket786]

You guys should offer an in-house paint service for additional fee.

Folks like me would pay for that.

[dannygarrett09]

So Paul would there be any chance to get the black stand for this one then please!!

[tamaboy311]

paul, I think everybody agrees that we need that stand, including me.

thanks for the answers.

In regards to the Eye location, only a fool would argue accuracy with a Stan Winston Studios sculpture...with that said, the eye location being extremely forward is a bit of a head scratcher because every single screen shot/still image of the T-Rex from JP, and other Winston references like the Perot T-Rex has the eye slightly off center.

Anyhow, if it gets delivered and it's not what I want I will simply touch it up and make it ideal for my tastes.

[The SHOGUN]

paul, I think everybody agrees that we need that stand, including me.

Sorry but I have no use for a stand. looks a little funny not mounted on the wall.

I'm sure it won't be hard to make your own stand for this. Probably will cost $18 and about an hour of time.

[The SHOGUN]

not the full head, but an interesting shot of the hero paint up.

I thought the same about the eye, it's the only thing I don't like about the male , the fact this will be the same isn't a deal breaker by any means, if it bothers me once in hand I'll do the same as you and do a little touch up

[tamaboy311]

I can't believe people are arguing about the eye issue. I didn't even notice that. Yeah, they may be looking to forward but it doesn't bother that much.

[Amanasaur]

Is this the first true casting of the Female rex bust ever? I know there's been some retools and the male bust has seemed to floated around for the past 20 odd years, but can't recall ever a female bust direct from the Stan Winston molds.

[Jerassic]

Finally!!!! Looking great. Cannot Wait. I've wanted one of these for over a decade :D

Same amount of neck, the female is just slightly smaller than the male.

Hey... weren't the Rex's supposed to have reverse sexual dimorphism? :dork:

:laugh:

Yes, according to the latest paleontological evidence. Female T. rexes were more robust than the male. There's only about six or seven people in the world that really cares about that detail. It will not hurt sales at all.

I don't know strange all the Dino JP geeks are missing.

I know just last week Howard Senft put up a female casting on eBay stating it was the best generation casting known of the bust. I don't know. I was thinking about buying it but I didn't now I believe it's long gone.

[The SHOGUN]

This. Go for more of an olive/brown tone. Not chocolate milk.

I like the color personally, it feels real. I'm wondering where all the Dinohunters are with their top secret fan club back lot photos. Paul asked for references and I'm the only one who posted anything which was taken from Google images. I'm gonna pull out the Winston Effectto see of there's any good shots in there.

Post your ideal pics of the female paint scheme, guys. Paul wants em.

[Chronicle CS]

Well, this is the first true casting of the Female bust I've seen. Jonathan bought it at auction and it required a lot of work to get it the way you see it today.

I'd be interested in seeing what Howard had, if it was a resculpt or and original. This piece has a few tells that are easy to spot.

We just had the Universal Summit and they are going to start cracking skulls on ebay with bootleg sellers, just a heads up.

There were a few sellers even mentioned at the summit, it's not going to be a good day to be selling pieces that conflict with licensors.

good to hear this. the other day i confronted a guy that is selling a pachy maquette for 2k!!! i told him that it was insanely pricey for a maquette that is not even licensed.

Hope it helps, It's hard to get the proper Rex animatronic in proper lighting

[Chrisrex82]

BTW all I posted a picture I found of the final Male T Rex Bust on the Facebook group page "official JP Toys page," aside from a few haters the reaction has been very positive, I think a lot of the JP fan community is still discovering Chronicle..okay now back to your T Rex paint analysis!

[Chronicle CS]

Good pics, thanks.

When painting Blue ILM sent us daylight, dim and night imagery and all three were completely different. Fortunately we have ILM cooperating with us and they have been great. Blue is 100%.

The rex is a debate, ILM thinks it should be more like the CGI which is like the Perot Museum Stan Winston female. Some say it should be more subtle like photos above and some say it should be more green.

I guess I'll hit for somewhere in the middle, but no green. The guys at ILM would kill me if I put green on the female rex.

From what I've observed from when I was painting my 1/16th horizon model I found it was a lot of light tans, yellow, browns through to hints of greys and blacks.

I actually don't think the animatronics colour design would be as subtle if there was images taken in good lighting. So i think if you took the colour pallet of the animatronic with design of the museum maquette I think that would be the ultimate middle ground.

Edit: Can't wait to the see the Blue

It won't be just the ILM people. :laugh:

[The SHOGUN]

The Winston Effect has a bunch of great pictures of the Rex. Many of them show the touch of olive drab in the paint. I'm not saying that should be the basecoat but the highlights are there.

To be honest Paul, all these Rex photos look a bit different from each other. Part of the problem is the lighting in the various photos highlights the paint differently and you can see the MANY variations of dark shades, greenish brown color etc etc. I think the Breakout Rex color is very nicely done and wouldn't mind if it was very close to that. Just my thoughts...

[Enforcer]

The guys at ILM would kill me if I put green on the female rex.
I think maybe they would need to get in line or take a number http://i67.tinypic.com/34eb0pc.jpg

[Leekson]

I think Manuel Unda from jurassicpark_repaints has hit the middle between animatronic and cgi on this picture

She's almost greener than the male bust...that's not good.
I'd say stick to accurate brownish colour palet which was your initial choice...

:iagree: with this color palest.

[Chronicle CS]

Thats's the color pallet I want as well, I think I will try to match the Perot Museum paint job as closely as possible.

That's the perfect color IMO. Btw Paul, when I'm I seen the stego video? I already pay it off but I feel you guys forgot about it. :waa:

[Leekson]

I've posted jurassicpark_repaints pic just to show how would look the mixture between animatronic rex during night, cgi and maquette, since Paul said he will try to find the middle.
In my opinion, if you are making a 1/5 bust, then it should be the 1/5 T-Rex from Perot Museum, not cgi, not animatronic, not mixture...
Since Paul shared unpainted Female bust with us couple of days ago, I'm interested which bust is in this picture? Is it Male Rex painted as Female? The colors on this pic looks excellent.

[The SHOGUN]

Paul, i trust your judgement. I'm a little concerned that people are giving the washed out, over-exposed daytime CGI scenes a bit too much weight in defining the color scheme of the JP T-Rex.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5Co3A3fLBo

The T-Rex was much darker than we remember.

[Max Shreck]

Geez people. Never seen this many cooks in one kitchen before.
In order to preserve the general peace is better if CC just releases the blank version so people can do their own paintjobs. :D

I for one have all trust in the CC crew to pull it off and get the JP collectibles we want... and deserve?

If it's too hot maybe it's time to get out of the kitchen.

as per Paul

I'll be painting this one as well, start digging up the reference guys. Right now the one at the Perot museum everyone thinks is to dark and to stripped. We based the Breakout on that paint job and everyone likes it, even Universal. I think that Universal may want the same paint job as the Perot museum after seeing all that we've done to date.

Let's get the paint debate out of the way, we have a little time, so start posting pics and tearing them apart before I start slinging paint.


Even though it seems the paint scheme has already been determined, Paul asked for reference pictures and opinions before he starts painting. I posted reference images and my opinion on other's desired paint schemes.

there's nothing wrong with giving ideas and debating. I mean, its a fun part of waiting. But I'm pretty sure in the end we are going to love the final design.

[Leekson]

Since the Male is sold out, and Female has different head design, I think it wouldn't hurt that Paul share more pics of this bust. I guess it was early prototype made just to show how the base would look like
I'm also confident that it will be cool at the end, but the waiting is killing all of us :laugh:

And there you go. I totally agree with it all and it wasn't a problem it's just some people take everything personally. No problems here it's just the bit too green, no it's brown, no it's yellow is funny.
Let Paul and crew do their jobs. We gonna love it anyway.

Most of the so called reference photos that's been posted here are ONLY good for what it is. The lighting condition throws the actually look off by a mile and most of the people don't know about that stuff since not everyone's trained to know how to look and where to look. If anyone want's to actually go with any those "references" flat out doesn't know what their doing, sorry. That's if you really want something that's....right.

There's really not much of debate as to how the thing should be painted. There're only the Stan Winston Studio or the ILM versions(not preferred). Since this piece is sourced from the Stan Winston Studios. It should go with how the studio painted it originally.

Paul and his team will be calling the shots on how they are going to be painted. They have more then enough references to do the job.

With that said. Here's the look of the screen used 1/1 head. A set of low res reference worthy photos in my book. Most of the stuff on google are just not worthy to even be mentioned. By tweaking the expose will reveal more details and color.

I like these pics, they are in the neighborhood of the Perot Museum Paint job.

I'll start posting a few pics when the paint starts going down.

Jonathan is picky, I'm okay with that. Remember, without him this wouldn't be a reality....

Everyone gets a say, Universal gets a say, but in the end I get the final say... ;)

[jimmylace]

You are welcomes guys. Every JP fans should own this beautiful piece.

Paul, not sure if you guys already have something similar in the works. I have a resin JP logo plaque(not flat) attached to my custom female bust. Which is dead accurate and goes perfectly with the scale and can be painted in color :D and I believe that's everyone wanted? At least I do. You can use it if you want. But I'll have to ship the entire bust over to you since it's glued to the board.
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/da/2d/64/da2d643db86bb0d51d5716153a9aa7e7.jpg

The base design on other JP pieces from Chronicle has been great. Wasn't a fan of the base on the male Rex bust however, but makes sense for them to stick with it at this point.

I liked the 'logo as base ' as a concept, but in the execution, I think the dull colours were an awkward middle ground. Obviously bright red would be garish, but thought a pure rock look would've been prettier.

I like my bases clean generally.

Stopped me from buying them. Bought the Breakout instead!

[tamaboy311]

here you go paul, best reference yet.

[Jerassic]

I always thought the one at Universal Studios looked good color wise. And it seems to be a close match to the Perot Museum rex. Basically, just as long as its not green... :deadh:

Although there was also this 1:5 model that was given to ILM. I like this paint scheme more, it's the closest to the real 1:1, and the paint has some shininess that makes the figure look just like the real thing. Hands down the best I can think of

Despite my feelings on the base...I might need this afterall! 😍

Absolutely should be the Perot scheme. I get why some might think olive green due to the car attack, but she's brown. What I wouldn't want to see is a washed-out appearance like some earlier pics. Should really punch!

Ah, yes, even with an estimate price I could see what works out. I mean, if it's above 2'5k I won't consider it so I can happily buy the bust. Otherwise..

[dutch1987]

when this will be going up for PO any idea?

[Max Shreck]

Paul said before the end of the year. Fingers crossed.

[The SHOGUN]

Interested to see the paint job.

[The SHOGUN]

Eagerly anticipating seeing the paint job of this piece.

I'm interested to see if it looks anything like what we saw on screen as for me that's the most important. Again the Perot museum paint up of the T-Rex is very nice, but to me doesn't really look like what we saw on screen.

It's funny because with every single other piece that was based on screen, we desire screen accuracy. But this one many people want it to be accurate to the model which is a deviation from what we saw on screen.

post pics Paul.

[tamaboy311]

anyone noticed they fix the jaw flap? looking good!!

[The SHOGUN]

I don't know man.

I really don't like the choice of the closed mouth for this female bust. It's like the equivalent of a closed mouth Jaws statue. Who the hell wants that? If I were having this commissioned uncertainty would not have this piece made with a closed mouth.

the thing is that there are no JP t-rex maquettes or busts (original SW) that exist with open mouth. paul mentions it in one of the vids showing the bust.

More reason the have an open mouth. what I don't understand about the art direction of this piece, why does it have to based on the behind the scenes maquette? This isn't a full body maquette. I think this piece should be made to look the VERY best possible, and in my opinion I think that's an aggressive open mouth pose.

I'm going to wait and see. As cool as it will be to own this SWS piece I don't need to own it. in the end of it's not what I'm totally happy with I will pass and move on which will be a bummer as I wanted this piece for YEARS...years.

[daz1999]

Open or closed mouth is just personal preference, doesn't make it right or wrong, personally I love the pose as is, I have the breakout for the open mouth so I'm good

Everything you see is open mouth, nice to see something different. I preferred the more closed mouth on the Raptor too, but they did go with the open mouth on that.

[tamaboy311]

it's a more neutral form. i like it this way imo. not everything has to be "attack" mode.

[darb]

yea and not to mention the male rex bust they did was an open mouth version

[jaxon]

I love it! I can't wait for the full maquette. Hope it will be shown at This years CC.

[SuperDinoHunter]

I guess it comes down to personal preference. I too have the break out on order and like that this bust has a closed mouth. I find it gives a little more variety to the line. It does counter balance the male Rex nicely. Waiting to see the detailed paint apps. And nice pic with the flaps. Looks more polished out!

[The SHOGUN]

Everything you see is open mouth, nice to see something different. I preferred the more closed mouth on the Raptor too, but they did go with the open mouth on that.

the reason everything you see is open mouth is because it's the best pose for the T Rex. This is the GRAND DADDY of all dinosaurs in the 4 film franchise. From my perspective it's a shame it's not the Classic open mouth Pose.

it's a more neutral form. i like it this way imo. not everything has to be "attack" mode.

Neutral as in not going anywhere, I agree!

What about those that don't have the Breakout on Pre Order?

What about those that don't need this bust to counter balance the male bust?

All I was looking for was the definitive perfect representation of the very best character in the franchise. Yes it's the SWS female but the art direction of this piece for me is not ideal and not something I would commission or build myself.

Its ok that you have that opinion but dont get mad about it. Regarding the pose, its still a great piece. Lets just wait.

[darb]

Holy butthurt batman lol... Guess what.. you can't have it your way, life isn't Burger King.

I'm sure the overall lineup is considered when choosing poses and having the same open mouth pose for every piece would not only be boring but just redundant. They don't say what if this dude only buys one let's make him happy. Not to be a total doosh but this is what it is, this isn't a case where you have one option for a T-Rex there will be 4 total the break out rex, the 2 1/5 scale busts, and the T-Rex vs I-rex dio

No it isn't.

I don't want a 1/20 scale T Rex.

I don't want a t Rex from the Lost world.

I don't want a T Rex with a little Raptor on his back.

All I wanted was this damn 1/5 female bust with an open mouth.

It's clear I'm not getting that so I won't be ordering. I'm moving on taking my business somewhere else however am annoyed because I DID want to buy this.

[darb]

stomp your feet a little more little guy maybe you can get one. btw regardless of you not being able to handle some ribbing there are some custom pieces of the female bust, I believe, that are available with the mouth open I know of 2 people who make them.

regardless of what you think, I just stated what they are making and the most logical reasons for the decisions as for the mouth is concerned.

I for one couldn't be more thrilled with the closed mouth.
To me it is equally as iconic as the wide open mouth position.The closed mouth with the upper teeth sticking out along the lower jaw is a picture that has been burned on my retina since the first time I saw it on screen.
While I understand Shogun's frustration I think ,considering the other T-rex releases, CC has chosen wisely on this one.Can't wait to pre-order!

You remind me of the protesters u see on TV. Anything other than your own view you take as inflammatory, so you throw insults to me calling me a baby and a joke to make yourself feel strong. So, do you feel stronger now?

great post Phil!

Your opinion is very different than mine but it's supported by reasoning and logic. I can see why you like the closed mouth. Not something I want but your post helps me understand your opinion (and others like it) and you identify where I'm Coming from which is always beneficial when talking to someone who has a different opinion than you.

It's clear some are on this forum to socialize about products meanwhile it appears others are here to antagonize.

[samhain81]

Happy with the closed mouth on this bust.

I never envisioned the female bust to have an open mouth. This way, I can envision the breakout scene when she's snooping around the explorer cars, sniffing around Grant and the kids.

As cool as an open mouth would be, It just makes more sense to have it closed on this bust.

[Python]

I quite like the closed mouth look, it is always down to personal preference however. It is entirely possibly that they may do an open mouth version down the line if this sells well enough and the demand is there...

Problem is with how you are acting like a child when it won't be the way you want it and attacking anyone who replies. I don't want to read that garbage and I am sure others don't either.

It's ok dude. It's best to just let it die.

I would be pissed if someone said I followed Darb too! That's as bad as it gets!

Someone is a tad hurt in the feelings department since you seem to be lashing out. Ohh I'm sorry you want me to agree with you fine CC make an open mouth version of this so Shogun can buy it and you know what statue world..... Make all the rexs made this time forward all open mouth versions, just in case you know, The Shogun wants to buy one he won't be left down.

You came here literally in a tantrum, the same one your protestors do because the mouth was closed.

You're upset because unlike your sheepish self I have some real knowledge in not only how this stuff is produced but also the techniques of the finishing. I guess you would rather just me spew hate on the piece or chronicle since it's seems by your childish outburst your're familiar with. Yes I know Paul and like him... So what?.. I also have a realistic expectation for mass produced statues and generally won't lose my ---- if they are messed up.

I also know how things are ... Producers make statues they are happy with in house ... Doesn't mean I am going to like them and if you don't then you don't buy or you settle and buy it. Case in point SS new endo has an odd pose and non t1 accurate features. Am I 100% happy no but it is a nice looking piece which I might still buy. I'm not stringing post along going
"Thanks sideshow I really wanted a nice endo statue but you had to ruin it for me!"

Grow up dude! maybe have your mom heat you up a hot pocket and bring it to you in the basement.

I'm sure you will just catch a sentence out of this and come up with another juvenile post.

Thank you for sharing.
I'm waiting mine impatiently but I can't hide I'm feeling unconfortable with the paint job.
I will most certainly add a couple of washes and clear coating to make it fit to my liking.
I will wait to have it inhand before making any statement

Here she is. Number 024/300.
Truely an incredible piece.
What about the paint job?
Is it that bad?
Hell no, it's a very good one for a factory painting, a serious improvement over the BO T-rex.
Photos definitly don't give it justice.
It's already a great rendition of the beast but I will just add a couple of washes to make it just perfect, just like I want.

Sculpture is super crisp as always with CC.
I love the little dents on the T-rex teeth.
Make it as nasty as a great white shark :)

Terrific box art too, great JP design all over.
It's one of my favourite.

I red a load of " feel sorry for those who ordered it" here and there all over the net.
Well, now that I have mine in hand, I FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO MISS IT ;)
No time for pictures, but I will post some very soon :)

Thank you to all the great peoples who worked to make this piece a dream come true and special thanks to Jonathan Chu (THX217) :)

Glad you liked your piece dude, but there's no need to feel sorry for those of us who passed on this thing. I don't know about others, but I will be spending my cash on Prime 1's JP offerings moving forward.

Seeing fellow JP fans to finally have this in hand is really something. The paint will never match up to any proto, it's just a known fact if you collect long enough. I'll have mine today and it will be ship out for a serious repaint and mod. Again, really happy for everyone who after all these years, to own an authentic, true JP female T-Rex bust in their collections. Can't wait for the full sizer!

Only a serious JP fan knows the value of this piece. The teeth serration were present on all the original Winston palettes and I'm glad that Chronicles maintained the look of it. The paint can always be improved. Once people see how it looks after it's fully repainted, they sure will be sorry.

And you are very welcome, my friend. ;)

[CAIN MKII]

Absolutly.
A truely authentic, accurate Stan Winston studio T-rex from JP.
No more, no less.
Now some would rather buy an artistic interpretation.
It's ok, there is something to please every body today on the market.
But to compare them is plain non sense.

we do feel sorry for you. you made a bad judgment call just because of the paint. but you overlooked the fact that this is a SW rexy piece. the paint can always be fixed. and sure, P1 has amazing pieces, hey, i have their 2 blue statues on PO, but they aren't OG. so yes, sorry that you missed this piece. maybe next time.

Yeah but the shipping back and forth plus the repaint will be almost the price of the bust.:rolleyes:

[VickPS]

Unboxed #75 yesterday, and i can finally say i have a true, original Jurassic Park T-rex.

The box is incredible, and the piece itself is huge (as long as you keep her away from the raptor bust) and better painted than what most pics lead to believe since there's more shades of brown in person, the finish is pretty much spot on, and most of the black patterns reflect those on the Perot which, with the exception of the snout, are pretty accurate to the CG model.
I've waited all my life to paint something like this but, like with the Breakout, i like the piece enough to want to enjoy the original version for a while. Already spent like four hours on this head though, carefully removing with a tweezer every paintbrush hair trapped in the layers of paint between the smaller scales and wrinkles, and this really helped me to realize just how good this sculpt truly is.
Although i think Chronicle could still improve a bit in the seam department, overall level of detail on this T-rex head is OUTSTANDING.

Again, thanks to Chronicle and Jonathan for this long-awaited addition to my collection.
And i think i'll order the stand too.. soon or later.

[Thorondor_33]

What about the paint job?

Hell no, it's a very good one for a factory painting, a serious improvement over the BO T-rex.

Agreed. Bright lighting and flash wash out the color and detail and to many are making final judgement on this piece from photos like that.

You need to see this bust in person to truly appreciate it. When I look at mine I don't see a paint job that is washed out.

Glad to hear you like it Vick. Ever since I got mine I feel the same way, in a state of bliss that I own an original Jurassic Park T-Rex. :drooling:

I see you might order the stand. A couple of us have made them for less than it is to order one. Mine isn't perfect but I'm happy with it. If you want dimensions or anything feel free to PM me.

Thanks buddy, your stand looks great. And as i can see in the other thread you have reinforced it with extra screws to sustain the weight.. good job.

Thanks man, all of this because of you (and CC). I can't even fathom the probability of having lost your cast - in 25 years a lot of stuff can happen. Without it..

I should be getting mine soon. Forever grateful

[Thorondor_33]

Thanks buddy, your stand looks great. And as i can see in the other thread you have reinforced it with extra screws to sustain the weight.. good job.

Thanks. Yes we built the stand prior to receiving the bust thinking it was adequate, but when I had the bust in hand I was caught off guard by the weight. So I utilized some of those brackets for extra reinforcement. You can't fool around with something of this size and weight. :laugh:

[statuehungry]

I have both busts and felt the female is much better painted than the male, he came out pretty flat

[Enforcer]

Looks pretty great to me for a factory piece. The busts for dinos don't do it for me. It looks like it belongs next to a hunter's deer head trophy. But if I were into them I'd been happy with this. I do understand the criticisms. Everyone wants perfection. But some of us let that go, eventually. Tell me what you think is a perfect statue and I'll wager a small fortune I can criticize it's not so perfect appearance.

:eplus2:

[tidus]

Got it today, it looks a bit darker in person. Way closer to the pics above than those posted earlier. The cast or whatever is incredible - it has an astonishing ammount of detail. And bigger than I imagined! The full body Rex is going to be huge

[ianhiatt]

Finally had the ability to take Rexy out and try to put her on the CC stand. Turns out the mounting is completely off...anyone else experience this? I assume the two rexes have very different holes on the back for mounting...

Seams aren't exactly great on mine either, but not even remotely as sloppy and invasive and the texture on them is completely different.. what's that sample's number?

[Phil the sixth]

I ordered it from my LCS.This is going straight back from where it came and I don't want another specimen.This is a 1000 EURO bust here in the EU and completely not worth it.Now that I've seen the low quality in hand,paintjob and all,I'm done with CC.First the massively plagued breakout rex,now this.I gave it another try thinking CC would have learned from their misstakes,but no...oh well.
Doesn't bode well for future products me thinks.


this is n° 253/300 (if I'm reading it correctly cause the 5 doesn't really look like a 5,lol)

[Thorondor_33]

Sorry to see the dud, Phil the Sixth. Doesn't look anything like mine either.

[67L88Stingray]

These can really have wide variations in quality, not sure why the factory allows QC people who work there to ok some of these for shipping. Chronicle will make it right, just contact them.

Sorry to hear about the problems you've experienced with this piece. I thought CC stated they will be diligent about their QC and will not allow the same ruckus that plagued the breakout rex release. Oh well, I will not be buying any products made by CC moving forward. Their QC is too inconsistent to warrant the over inflated prices they're asking.

[daz1999]

[daz1999]

Yeah good point, they need to do something though, with all the choice we have these days I’m finding less reasons to go with CC , I love some of their stuff but I’ve got no confidence they’ll get the paint right unfortunately

[Phil the sixth]

I have a hard time believing this female T-rex bust is coming from a top tier Toynami factory.
All those high quality Toynami products from ECC & CC are telling me otherwise.
Even the male T-rex bust was well done with practically no noticable seams,nicely worked in.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if some of the JW/JP pieces are produced in lesser quality factories,just like the TG 1/4 endo was.
Can you imagine how the upcoming ECC Mohawk Gremlin (with all these patterns & dots) would look like if they've produced & painted it with the same level of 'artistry' as the female T-rex bust?

From now on my approach with CC's pieces will be one of 'waiting and see' until the production piece hits collector's hand.I just can't trust them anymore to be placing pre-orders blindly.

paul said yesterday that the dots issue should be no longer an issue since they have a new factory for their dinos. you can see it on the pachy cause the pachy looked exactly like the proto. hopefully, that's true.

[Phil the sixth]

Thanks for sharing tamaboy,I didn't know that.
I'm hoping it is true cause with players such as Prime 1 out there they'd better up their game and improve quite a bit on their production pieces...at least if they don't want to go 'extinct' and reduce themselves solely as a distributor for JP/JW pieces of other companies.

This is what i was saying. The one he's holding is the PS. Looks identical to proto imo.

Hello, I have placed the Rex male bust on the table stand, but when it comes to putting the Rex female bust on the table stand does not fit with the screws, is there a table stand for male and another for female or advise me to make new holes in my table stand?
Could someone solve my doubts? Thank you.

Hello, I have placed the Rex male bust on the table stand, but when it comes to putting the Rex female bust on the table stand does not fit with the screws, is there a table stand for male and another for female or advise me to make new holes in my table stand?
Could someone solve my doubts? Thank you.

The mounting screw hole distance is different. Sent the back of the table mount to Chronicle at their expense and they replaced it with a new one. Or you can screw new holes yourself. Considering how much they charge for these I just had them take care of it. Super quick turn around.

I had the same problem...ended up drilling the holes myself. Very irritating, but it is what it is. I think the difference is about half an inch on each side, but I'd measure it out to be safe.

[QUOTE=Phil the sixth;5670383]I ordered it from my LCS.This is going straight back from where it came and I don't want another specimen.This is a 1000 EURO bust here in the EU and completely not worth it.Now that I've seen the low quality in hand,paintjob and all,I'm done with CC.First the massively plagued breakout rex,now this.I gave it another try thinking CC would have learned from their misstakes,but no...oh well.
Doesn't bode well for future products me thinks.

This is the major problem with CC, ordering stuff from them is too much of a gamble. It surprises me that after TWO failed Rex paint jobs (breakout rex and bust) they announce the ridiculously expensive Rotunda Rex and still expect people to spend their cash! I definitely think it's time they stop with the JP stuff and hand over the reins to IS and P1. They are just further damaging their own reputation by constantly making false promises of improvements and failing to deliver.
I would advice everyone to wait for P1's Rotunda Rex, which I believe is being announced in the next couple of months.

There's no need for CC to drop the license, just customers to learn a lesson and wait for production piece photos. When more players are in the game, the competition is stronger, you get more products to choose and it should keep the prices in relatively reasonable range
