You Can Buy a JURASSIC PARK T-Rex Bust Made From the Film's Original Molds
How much do you love Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park? Enough to drop some cash on a mounted bust of the film's biggest, baddest, coolest antihero, the Tyrannosaurus Rex? Chronicle Collectibles (via io9) has opened pre-orders for a 19'' bust that's roughly 16'' in diameter, and putting this thing on your wall will add some serious geek cred to your home.
The coolest part of this bust is that it was created using the molds from the original film that were created by Stan Winston Studios. It was also painted by Steve Riojas, whom the site describes as "one of the best dinosaur painters in the industry." That may be one of the most specific niche professions I've ever heard of, but it looks like he did a killer job matching the look of the bust with the dino we know from the movie.
Now the bad news: this baby will set you back $650. Take a cue from John Hammond: "spare no expense" and pre-order it here.
