This velociraptor claw was modeled after the long claw ("terrible claw") carried by Dr. Grant as seen on screen in the classic film. It is cast in solid semi-hard urethane plastic casting resin and is given an aged paint job. The color wash really brings out the details of the claw-like texture. The claw measures about 6 inches (150mm) wide, 2.75 inches (70mm) tall, 1 inch (25mm) thick, and weighs 1.4oz (40g).
The Velociraptor is one of the most popular dinosaurs in the movie media series. Velociraptors have a major role in all five movies. Velociraptors are often seen hunting in packs, which it may have done in real life. They are portrayed as being highly intelligent and capable of setting traps and communicating with other pack members. Because of this, the main paleontologist of the franchise, Dr. Alan Grant, is very interested in the raptors.
