I have a lot of 'em and they're all about the same size: no one scale. The velociraptor is about the same size as the tyrannosaur, etc. I'd have to go measure them, but IIRC the more popular ones would be either a touch too small or too big for 15mm. The raptor might go well with 30-35mm, for example. -----

Given that dinos had a lot of different species using essentially the same chassis in different sizes, and that there is a certain amount of body scale distortion in a die cast toy anyways, you really have nothing to worry about. If the critter is oversized, name it megaraptor, scare the PCs, and move onward and forward :) |

What, this Megaraptor? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaraptor If I know CC (of old, and the days of the daeodons), any old thing represented by any old model would be way down the list. I know it would be for me. Think of it like the right colour and number of buttons on a Napoleonic uniform. 4th Regt. Prussian Hussars with olive-green dolmans… 95th Rifles armed with 1777 Charlevilles… Boogaboogabooga… -----

Wonky is a friggin amazing word, if you can accurately describe your product as Wonky, I'd buy it. |

Try the rapters in the old "Jurassic Park" game that will fit better. They're still alittle big for velociraptors but they'll do in a pinch. However, they will work for a Dromaeosaurus which is basically the same beast. FYI…The TRex in that game is also good for 15mm, still a nad small but once again close enough. I also needed dinosaurs for a Lost World scenario I was working on and because there was very little on the market made to a accurate 15mm scale (I've been diagnosed as a 15mm compulsive ; ) I had to do a lot of searching and matching. I eventually found some figures (after much EBay and email) that I could either alter or refine to fit reasonably well in that scale, but the rest I made.
