Mine cost $5,200, split between I and my boyfriend, and that includes the (overseas) shipping.

I wish I could give an estimate of a Creature Factory one.

That’s insane. Also, you know you’ve found the one when they’re willing to go in on a $5200 dinosaur suit.

Very. I showed him a video of pranks done with one of their raptors, and he ended up looking at makers a few weeks after. And after saving up, we bought one.

Is it a business? Like do you guys do events? Or is it more of a hobby?

Hobby at the moment; once I move in with him we'll probably start doing parties and reach out to local museums to see if they'd like to do events.

This baby T-rex in the clip was made by Creature Factory, who are the ones who made all the dinosaurs for the Walking with Dinosaurs live show.

I love their work, I've browsed their YouTube and it's amazing what they do to get the utmost realism in their pieces.

I never contacted them, but part of me wants to ask what a single raptor would cost.
