The velociraptor was made for the one and only Steven Spielberg. Steven had dinosaur models sent from Industrial Light and Magic that we worked with to create this one-of-a-kind piece. Fun Fact: The first weathervane that Travis Tuck made was for Quinn’s shack in the movie jaws. Spielberg had inquired about having another jaws shark made for himself at the time but passed when the price had jumped from $200 to $300.
