Cool Stuff: Mounted Velociraptor Head from Jurassic Park

Posted on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 by Hunter Stephenson

Beat your friend’s latest Jeff Goldblum sighting to smithereens with this nifty mounted, life-size Velociraptor head from Jurassic Park. At least that’s what a seller proclaims on eBay, and it can be yours at a starting price of $350 on the up. The small legend at the bottom reads ever so subtly, “Velociraptor.” Would you rather have this or Thora Birch’s color-guarded ‘raptor shirt from Ghost World? Close-up pic after the jump…

Art, Cool Stuff, 

  • I was hoping to find a close-up of Thora's shirt after the jump.
  • u get a brownie point for a Ghostworld reference! fuck yeah!
  • josh p
    what the heck is the point of brownie points?!
    you cant cash them in for real ones. ugh
  • That's awesome, but pricey.
  • He does say in the Ebay description that it is a replica. So its not a real screen used prop. The description here on /film makes it sound like its most likely was used in the film. So I just thought I would point that out if anyone was like me thinking it was real.
  • when i started to read your post about it being a replica, i thought u were going to reference the fact that it wasnt a real raptor head lawls.
  • that is pretty funny... but sadly, too expensive.
  • $350 is a good price. I am in... bid it!! Speaking of Ghost World, how about Ghost Ship. I turned the film off after 20 minutes, but the first two minutes in the openeing scene are are great! Ghost ship was the most recent film I turned off ( 4 yrs ago), but that record was broken when I turned off Punsiher war zone after 30 minutes,. Terribel! Jigsaw hip-hoppin around.. what a joke!
  • Obama better give me some of that stimulus money so i can buy that thing.
  • I would get this just to scare the crap out of people
  • That would freak me out to enter a room and see that staring back at me! DUCK! Very impressive. Expensive and impressive.
  • My friends and I were Tweeting yesterday because Jeff Goldblum was needlessly hanging around the Law & Order Criminal Intent casting offices picking off young pavement-pounders for a quick and sleazy flirt. Does this raptor head somehow make a better true story than that? : )
  • I want that for my basement bad!! It would be fun to see how many gullible people would ask if it's real.
  • jank
    a business was closing down in my neighborhood and the owner was about to sell me one of these for 80 bucks. once i realized it wasn't an actual prop replica and the eyes were just painted on, i decided against it. i guess i'm just too picky when it comes to these sorts of things...
  • Mr. X
    SHOOOOOT HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

    best part. lol
  • Palmer
    Well, that's one way to start a conversation.
  • starscream9289
    I think it blinked at me....
  • That is proper... but i would have really liked to see some teeth on this badboy, just a bit so you know they are there
  • does it come with a complimentary velociraptor claw for scaring small children?
  • That doesn't look very scary, more like a six foot turkey.
  • Muldoon
    Clever girl...
  • VTchina
    That should be what's written on the plaque underneath.
  • Velociraptor had feathers, get with the times hahaha
  • RageTreb
    Well shit, there's only one? I'd save up for one of my own if it was mass produced.
  • "oh.. that thing over there? Back in 93' I went to this island and killed a bunch of dinosaurs.. Yep, this baby was comin' right at me in a research facility, got his head stuck in a door and shot it in the mouth. No big deal, now let me show you the bedroom!"
  • I think the $350 price tag pretty much gave it away.
  • As soon as I saw this I started laughing.

    Also, thanks for introducing me to Riff Trax
  • Do want
  • Me too :(
  • My older brother had a velociraptor claw. He chased me around the house while he made the noises. Bastard.
  • Michael B
    Would love to get this an put it in the guest bedroom on the wall across from the bed.

    Sleep tight.

    And I second the plaque with the inscription "Clevah Guhl"
  • freemachine
    I'll take a pass on this and save my money for a full sized T-Rex skeleton. I have know idea where I'd put it, but it would be bad ass for sure.
