Sep 15 2008Own Your Own T-Rex Statue With Movement And Blood Curdling Roar!
This isn't actually made from real bones (although for $22,000 it damn well should be), but it is an accurate skeletal statue of a young Tyrannosaurus E-rex (it does me anyway). Hit the jump to see the statue's movement and hear its roar, both of which are pretty freaking impressive. Now they just need to add some silicon skin, a couple life-like entries, a ladder for easy access, and what in the hell is wrong with me? That's right, nothing.
Hit it for the video.

Those are just stock sound effects from a bunch of different animals
4. Antonio - September 15, 2008 3:35 PM

I'm no paleontologist (or are I?), but I think it looks like crap.

@3 - You mean they didn't use the Hardon collider to travel back in time and tape the roar of real Bracheosaurus? I guess this is only worth $21,995 then.

sounds like a street rod.

Sex with dinosaurs FTW!

Don't know about you guys, but sounds a lot like a lions roar.

I cant wait to get one so i can pee on it!

Fake!!!
That's such a photoshop job. The shadows are all wrong, and you can tell where they tried to erase a guy standing in the original picture. It appears the deleted man is describing my uncle Fred's manhood.
The video appears to be a scene directly taken from the scifi thriller never back down.
PEW PEW PEW

14. Thumperchica - September 15, 2008 4:41 PM
Thanks alot GW, I hit it, and now my monitor has a crack in it and my hand is swollen, bleeding, and turning pretty colors...
15. Gingersnapz - September 15, 2008 4:41 PM
If I put it in my room, I know it would just end up turning into one of those things all my clothes would get thrown on.
People would come in and be like, "Hey, is that a dinoasur under all that junk?"
16. Amy - September 15, 2008 5:51 PM
Ooooh! I want one! Then I can put other silly things in my room, and dress my pets up as people and pretend I'm in Animal Crossing....
....Don't look at me like that.

False advertising.
I saw the title and thought there would be a T-Rex Poop.
Maybe next time.
18. mattK - September 15, 2008 6:38 PM
@9

Heh heh, I used to work for the company that made this. They have a lot scarier things than this. Check them out at scarefactory.com.
20. Edge - September 15, 2008 8:06 PM
wow, it just sounds like a car starting
21. Mothy - September 15, 2008 11:07 PM
Would be good if it walked as well. Then i could ride it to work.
22. K1s3I - September 16, 2008 4:19 AM
@ 21

"...but it is an accurate skeletal statue of a young Tyrannosaurus E-rex (it does me anyway)..."
Does it do you by means of mighty dino-force, or is this a typical catcher/pitcher relationship?
24. Momboelitist - September 16, 2008 10:02 AM
Yea, I'd buy it and it would be all cool for the first day but then I'd be wondering why I spent 22 grand on it......until I remembered that I was filthy rich and could afford to buy 50 of 'em. Then I'd buy a photoshopped aircraft carrier island and breed Amazon love slaves for the West Indie fur traders.
25. le renard - September 16, 2008 11:31 AM
I hate how the ribs just dangle like melted flesh :\
26. Gingersnapz - September 16, 2008 12:11 PM
@24, how much you want for about ten of those love slaves? I got a party coming up this weekend.
Do you use paypal?
27. michelle - September 16, 2008 5:34 PM
