The review samples sent was a carded Giant Raptor (as seen in the top two pictures), cast in white metal.

The Good

There was no flash or mold lines to be found on the figure.

There really are not enough dinosaur miniatures out there, and those that are often fall well short of expectations. Gary’s Giant Raptor breaks from the “Jurassic Park” look and has what is considered to be the actual representation of what a velociraptor looks like – right down to the feathers.

It was also nice to receive preview pieces. At the time this review is going to press, these have not been released.

The Bad

None.

The Ugly

None. This is an awesome miniature.

Scale: 28mm heroic scale
Cost: $10
