Jurassic Park 1-1 Raptor

I was so close to ordering the female raptor but I just couldn't get over the over the open mouth for some reason. I still think it looks amazing don't get me wrong but it just bothered me enough not to pull the trigger. I'm glad I didn't now because I couldn't afford both :-)

Ok, I gave in! Ordered! Just hope I have enough room once we start getting life size Labyrinth and Dark Crystal busts. COUGH. =)

I like the whole look of the Lost World raptors better. I’m hoping they do a total of four raptors, the next one being the female with the round pupils from JP3, and then Blue.

That way we can have 4 awesome 1:1 busts, which would look amazing on one wall with spotlights.

Wish I could order direact but shipping to Australia would be a killer.

Just think of that one as the slow cousin to the one in the bust.

That is what Paul said would happen when I asked about the eyes for the JP1 version early on, but even in the new pics it doesn't look as good as it would with the eyes looking more forward like in those mockup pics. In person it might look better though.

Yes they do but when possible I like to order direct to support the company making the statue.
