Yes indeed, I can live with that price. It`s totally worth it. So about 300-400 euro`s charged for delivery and profit for external seller. Decent extra costs. Knowing it has to travel halve the globe.

Of course it's totally worth it. Knowing how much one pack of cigarettes or beer cost in EU, it's not that expensive. It's all a matter of priorities. Either you want it badly or not. If you really want it, you will order it!
I'm really glad for you man. One thing I know for sure and it is that even in a 10 years from now, when you walk through your room in a big hurry, you will look at that bust with the corner of your eye and put a little smile on your face
As Parallax said: "Simply put, I would be more upset not having this perfect Velociraptor bust than I would be spending $1k. Truth be told, if it's not this it would be spent on something else."

I've decided not to order and I'll wait for the raptor kitchen diorama instead.It's just too much for what it is.I know 'Universal' rights and Toynami production don't come cheap but ultimately I'm comparing it with life size busts such as the Prime 1 ID4 life size alien bust (similar dimensions,32" tall) which comes with a full torso,both arms and will be delivered in translucent resin for 850,- euros!
This raptor head is a fantastic piece and if it was priced similar to their 1/5 T-rex bust (900 euros) I would have order it...1400-1500 euros is just too much for basically a head.

Thank you Leekson! I`m really glad I did the purchase. You did too?
It will fit well next to the other purchases I made: T-Rex Bust and breakout Rex. Can`t wait for the first to arrive.

It`s a LOT bigger then the Rex Bust. Impossible to price it like the Rex Bust in Europe.
I`m glad they really wanted to make the 1:1 scale Raptor Bust for us!

Besides the cold cast eyes. This is an amazing piece. The only one. It's gonna be a b*tch to ship it to the UK but I couldn't let this go.

I'm with you as far as the Raptor Kitchen Diorama...that sounds like an amazing piece to own, consider how well the T Rex Breakout looks, I can only imagine how awesome this thing will look. Plus we will get (I assume), TWO raptors...and maybe Lex or Tim in there.

For me, the main reason for not going with the bust is just the size. I don't have the room, and I'd hate to have this $1K piece of art sitting in a box in my basement awaiting for a place to put it, when we don't know what will be coming down the pike 2 years from now. As far as the price, I actually don't think its too bad for what you are getting in overall size, and detail. But that's a different conversation.

I'm happy for the ones how are getting this though

No man, I've ordered only Breakout Rex.
I'm wondering what scale Raptors in the kitchen are gonna be? Did Paul mentioned 1:9?
