from "Toys":
thumb|240px|right|Megatron in the form of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
*In the Lego Dino Attack line the Tyrannosaurs came in two colours (green and red), both of which stand 25 cm tall. Both feature light-up eyes and tongues, and have hinged jaws for "dino-chomping action".

*In the Zoids model series, the Godkaiser, Geno Saurer, Geno Breaker, Berserk Fury, Gairyuki and Bio Tyranno are all patterened after the Tyrannosaurus, although the God Kaiser's resemblance to Tyrannosaurus is minimal at best. Gojulas Giga resembles a Tyrannosaur as well but is actually a Giganotosaurus. The Deadborder also resembles a Tyrannosaurus, but is actually based on its close relative Tarbosaurus, although an unreleased Hasbro variant would have been named "Battle Rex". An unreleased Gravity Zoid also exists, which is based on a Tyrannosaurus. Also, various Organoids are based on Tyrannosaurus.
* Tyrannosaurus Rex is Monster in My Pocket #6, but appears to be a legal way of including Godzilla without paying a license.  A more accurate likeness of Tyrannosaurus rex was #145.
and from "other":
*In the British comic 2000AD several tyrannosaurs appeared in different stories; The huge female "Old One-Eye" appeared in the Flesh series, while Satanus was an opponent of Judge Dredd.
*The band The Hives named their third album in 2004 after the great beast, Tyrannosaurus Hives.
*GWAR has a character called Gor-Gor, a Tyrannosaurus rex whose egg was injected with crack cocaine, making him especially powerful. Gor-Gor is a fixture of the band's elaborate stage show, appeared in the band's video Phallus in Wonderland, and has a namesake song on the album America Must Be Destroyed.
*Jake, Marco, Cassie, and Ax from the book series Animorphs once had the opportunity to morph into Tyrannosaurs in Megamorphs #2: In the Time of Dinosaurs. It is noted that this morph was one of the hardest for them to control, and at the end of the book they lose the T. rex morph.
*The Marvel Character Devil Dinosaur appears to be based on a Tyrannosaurus.
*The Quintaglios from Robert J. Sawyer's Quintaglio Ascension Trilogy are a race of highly evolved, sentient Tyrannosaurs descended from Nanotyrannus. Tyrannosaurus rex itself was represented within the series as well, in the form of the Blackdeath, the biggest carnivores living on the Quintaglio moon.
*A full-scale replica of the Sue T. rex specimen is on display in DinoLand U.S.A., at the entrance to Dinosaur: the Ride, at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.  There is also a T. rex featured in the Jurassic Park River Adventure in Universal Studios Hollywood and at the Universal Orlando Resort, Florida. In both instances they are animatronic, and appear to attack those on the ride, who (of course) successfully escape.
*In the Samurai Cat series, one of the villains, Gruppenfuhrer Ubersaurus Rex, was the commanding officer of a division of Waffen S.S. Tyrannosaurs.
In several instances, the name of something was simply cited without saying why, or a subject was mentioned that isn't necessarily Tyrannosaurus (just looks like a large theropod).  I don't  think half of what remains is probably necessary, either, but it's a start.  If the rest of the article looked like the first couple of sections, it would be easier to work with, and if it wasn't a list, it would be less tempting for someone to add things to. Proceed as you will.  J. Spencer 02:41, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Kong vs T-Rex.jpg

message: overlooking the fact that the added piece was hardly full of "minute" details, and that it corrected a factual error in the existing phrasing, and the fact that 2000AD ( here incorrectly called "Flesh comics" ) is probably as significant to British comics as Stan Lee is to US comics... the fact the plot idea appeared some 12 years before the most-commonly known usage is somewhat... notable, surely... ?

replies: text: I don't think it's notable. Anyway, if you need to correct a factual error then do so, but there's no need to include a plot summary or list of the various dinosaurs' ages, attributes, and how they came to be. rʨanaɢ (talk) 13:30, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "we don't need every minute detail" 

message: I have deleted large segments of this article which not only made no mention of why certain appearances in culture are relevant or notable (i.e. proving that anybody cares by citing a source discussing a given appearance), but almost all lacked any sources, period, in blatant violation of Wikipedia policy. Please do not re-add anything without proving notability and verifiability. MMartyniuk (talk) 20:06, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed... except for a segment I added myself, the one mentioning Phil Tippett's Prehistoric Beast. This short film was certainly the first film showing Tyrannosaurus in proper posture (horizontal backbone and tail, for balance). In any case if it wasn't the first it was one of the first... I'll look for references, can you bring some help? Kintaro (talk) 21:39, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
