Like most people in the community, I was taken by surprise by the announcement of this figure. Rumors that PNSO would release a T-rex with "lips" had been circulating online, but no one expected it to be released in this form. A lot of people certainly weren't thrilled with this release, hoping for a static model (I'm actually one of them), but fortunately, I'm also a fan of action figures, so I placed my order. First off, I can say that the figure, as usual, has excellent detail, as befits PNSO models, and of course, it has the highly anticipated "lips"! The colors are standard, nothing special, although they were used well, for the most part... I really don't like the abrupt transition in the tail. There should have been more of that dark brown at the top of the tail to give the stripes a more natural transition. Another very cool detail is that the visible teeth on the lower jaw are mostly covered by gums, which adds additional realism. As for the articulation itself, I have to admit that for a first-time figure of this kind, PNSO did a good job. The joints moved quite smoothly from the start; I didn't have to warm them up with hot air. The joint layout is also well-designed for such a first-time model, although in my opinion, there could have been more of them. I understand that PNSO designers wanted to minimize the number of "cutouts," but... it wouldn't hurt to add a joint in the center of the torso to increase the range of lateral movement. And I'm not a fan of the entire tail being made of flexible plastic with wire inside. I would much prefer the solution from Botm figures, where the tail is segmented, and only the tip is wired. I also feel a slight lack of accessories, in the form of at least interchangeable feet, although I'm afraid that would drive up the price even further, knowing the prices PNSO likes to charge for its figures. I also like the new brochure format that always comes with the models. I'd prefer a full-length brochure to what we've had so far, plus a poster. So, as a start to a new line of figures, I can say this model is quite good. I'm quite excited about what further models PNSO will release in this line, and I'd definitely like to see the Triceratops as number two. An iconic duo that kicks off a new line of figures. I'm very pleased with my purchase and recommend this model.
