The Prehistoric Planet depiction:

Yeah maybe so, I've read they think they were thicker bodied than the JP and would be slower moving, but again, im sure there were variations of them, not all humans have the same frame, the color is a mystery as far as I can tell, so is the skin/hair/feathers, now your last 2 pictures do show a little different head, but one is in attack mode/growling and one is closed mouth, thinking back on how much the T rex has changed since I had books about them in the late 70's and 80's till now hasn't made me dislike the look of a T rex then, or the 90's JP style or the modern version, if a statue company does a great prehistoric plant version of T rex I'll buy it as well

Not sure why that last image has the Jurassic Park logo; that scene is from Jurassic World: Dominion.

One big difference besides the body shape and heft is that the teeth are covered and only seen when the mouth is open on the Prehistoric Planet version.

Just inquired pricing from good old Canada, with the exchange rate, taxes, duties and shipping I'm looking at about 2500, man that's a lot for this, sigh, have to draw the line somewhere, too bad

Oh ok, your right, certainly this version is meant to have some realism and some JP Hollywood together, I'd probably prefer more realistic all the way around, but I still like it alot and have ordered it

That sucks, maybe in time sideshow will run a free shipping on this piece, hopefully, but I dont blame you, I'm in the US and sorta know what the shipping is gonna be, which still isn't gonna be cheap

I love this T rex from the first part of Jurassic Park! Being a big dinosaur fan and also a JP license fan, I own a statue of the tyrannosaurus rex over 60 m high. It has feathers on its back, although scientists still don't know whether it had feathers, scales or a mixture of the two.
