Jurassic Park Sick Triceratops Statue and Life-Size Raptor Bust by Chronicle

[Boogieman4hire]

That triceratops must've gotten super wasted last night. Good thing someone was kind enough to lay her on her side to prevent choking to death on her puke. Luckily she's made it through the night. Now she's just got to ride it out a little more.

What a sad thing to make a statue out of. I hope he got better. Maybe we'll find out in the next movie.

Yep, its nice but a lil depressin to look at actually. They should cut the tension and add an Ellie accessory digging through his "big pile of sh*t"

This is the type of statue that makes me wonder who collects this stuff lol. I mean how many people thought when they saw the scene that they needed a statue of it??? Is it an epic scene? Nope! Was it a developed character? Nope! It’s just a statue of a sick animal that likely didn’t even look like that in real life.

If epic scenes or developed characters are the only criteria worthy of having collectibles made, then that wipes out the majority of all toys and collectibles everywhere. The Star Wars fandom alone would be a baron wasteland of like 10 characters being done over and over again.

This is a weird choice to make. I can just imagine displaying this statue on my shelf and having everyone who sees it ask me "why do you have a statue of a dead Triceratops?"

While I agree that is true, but for a $450 statue, I imagine the standard should be a bit higher? It's a $450 statue of a character whose poop is more memorable than it is.

But Star-Wars does have a ton of epic characters (at least before the extended universe got wiped out by Disney)?

Anyway, if it had indeed been the case that there were only 10 epic Star Wars characters, I would think that then it is time for manufacturers to move onto a different subject matter for making collectibles once those 10 have been exhausted. It wouldn't make sense to just start making every face that appeared in the Star Wars movies into a statue/figure/toy etc. Why would anyone (unless they have entered the phase where they just collect for the sake of collecting), go out and buy those statue renditions of random faced civilians of a Star Wars movie?

Personally, if I ever reach the point where I start having a deep desire to purchase a statue like this Triceratops having an indigestion problem, I think that would be an indication that I have surely crossed the line with this hobby lol.

I would love if the raptor looked just like the one that came out to get Muldoon; I didn't compare it to the scene but it doesn't look quite right there.

I think you misunderstand the meaning of collecting high-end statues and dioramas. It’s not all about one set of characters necessarily, although I would venture to say that the dinosaurs in the Jurassic films are characters themselves. Memorable scenes are definitely important to lovers of any film and are avenues for development, hence the sick triceratops. Not only was it a great display of just how real Stan Winston could make these things, it was the world’s first up-close and personal view of a dinosaur in this movie - a movie that changed film and special effects forever, by the way.

Anyway...I’m not going to waste any more time on explaining the validity of a scene like this, because from your post you have no clue as to why someone would want it and furthermore why we don’t care if they looked like that in real life. You’re so far off the mark it makes me question why you bothered to sign up for a Collectibles site.

Just some thoughts.

This raptor is from The Lost World and they look pretty different in coloration from the first film. They did release a bust of the same size for the original film, which would be what you’re looking for, but it is sold out and should be shipping this week.
