I was there today. I stopped by ECC 3x. Love the Raptor. The case is a part of the replication of the maquette how it was presented and gifted from Spielberg to the people who worked on the film back then. They all got that same style case presentation. However, the idea of a simple stand with a small footprint like the TRex one would have been a nice option for those wanting just the replicated maquette and not the case. I think it’s just the acrylic top that is optional. I ordered the ET from ECC which was the highlight for me. But I love the Raptor and I’m leaning toward the Raptor eye over the 2 options. But I feel they will do a full head at some point.
Wow thats super interesting! I didnt know there was a story behind the case! Super cool. And i dobt blame you, im sure i went back many times and just starred all mesmerized lol. I absolutely loved it. And yea I honestly thought we would be getting a head but even so the eyes look very cool. And sweet buy with ET, thats a big one and looks freaking awesome 😎
No exact dimensions on the eye yet, all we can do is look at the rex eye dimensions and compare it to the raptor eye in the video. Wont know exact numbers until its officially released for pre order.
