So I just got my Smart Series Tyrannosaurs from Nanmu and oh my god I love these! They are the perfect size when it comes to posing, the detail is off the charts for only being a 1/35th scale set of Tyrannosaurs. The articulation is very fluid right out of the box. I only had one stiff knee joint on both figures that required a little bit of heat, luckily it unfroze pretty much instantly. Yeah these are great. As happy as I was to go all in on BoTM last year, these Rexes have a certain bit of charm to them and I don’t think it’s necessarily because they are based on the buck and the doe from The Lost World: Jurassic Park. We were all talking about the old Resaurus figures from the late 90’s and honestly-if you are a fan of the old Carnage/Dinosaur King toyline…these really hit.
Not to mention there are actually distinctions between the male and female tyrannosaur beyond the color differences. The male has a larger head and more pronounced throat. The snout is more stubby and it gives the male tyrannosaur almost a pit bull like quality. There are also mating scars on the right orbital finestra and the jugal hornlet.
Now if the male is the pit bull of the pack, the matriarch is the Great Dane. She’s slightly larger than her mate in the torso and her head is very long with more numerous teeth and a much angrier look in her eyes. Her muted browns are perfectly painted. There is no area of overspray or any sections that look like too much paint was applied in certain spots.
One curious detail is that she also has faintly visible spots on her body but it’s strange because that was more common on Rexy’s design. The Doe on the other hand has more pronounced stripes. It could be that this is Rexy after all and I just didn’t clock this correctly but it’s weird to go through the trouble of making a male T-Rex (Practically from scratch , I might add) if he’s not the companion piece. Also Nanmu makes the doe all the time so I feel like that would be the next logical step if they’ve only made the doe as a static desktop figurine prior to this.
Anyway I love this figure and I highly recommend checking them out and grabbing a set while they’re still around on store shelves.

How's this scale against old Kenner JP toys? It looks good, but I don't know if I'd bother if it's vastly undersized, especially if I'm already considering their next raptor releases.

These are tiny. It’s about the same size as the Young T-Rex from the original Kenner line. And obviously way more detailed. These are constructed out of hard pvc, not the soft, squishy “real” dinosaur skin. And it goes without saying…no Dino damage or JP stamps.
Also not everything has to be in scale with other properties. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a cool desktop toy that you can mess around with. And all the better when it’s a cool dinosaur toy
Also I forgot to mention this in my earlier breakdown but these two Rex figures have been getting a lot of coverage on twitter this past week. I’m constantly seeing pics, reels and reviews on my For You page and they all made me ever more excited for the arrival of my figs. You have no idea how glad I am to have these. They hit me right in the feels. I had the Carnage Dino’s growing up in high school and college and I was also collecting the Papo stuff for a time so to see these gorgeous tyrannosaurs in 1/35th scale and masterfully sculpted, painted and articulated makes these a work of art that I’ll treasure for decades.

Decided to PO this general purpose space soldier. Did a little digging and looks like it's been solicited on Gundamit since at least 2024 but it just got listed and updated most everywhere with a 2nd quarter '26 release so maybe it's finally gonna happen.
