Packable, stackable, wearable dinosaurs

Ever wished you could be a dinosaur?

Your wish has been granted in the form of: wearable dinosaur costumes! 

I've seen these sorts of costumes in live performances of Walking with Dinosaurs, and in various other street-art shenanigans, but it had never occurred to me that you could just buy one for yourself! These magnificent beasts are available via Only Dinosaurs. They don't mention the price of each model, only that it is dependant on the number ordered. Read - probably very expensive.

I don't know what's scarier: the cool, deadly, dinosaur stares, or what appears to be the first recorded incidence of theropods giving live-birth to men in raincoats...

But what if you don't want to get a giant dinosaur shipped to your doorstep... wait, what am I saying? Who wouldn't want to open and unwrap one of these beasts? They looks so peaceful, and yet so terrifying, covered in plastic and waiting... just waiting...

Surely the the scariest airport baggage check, ever. Image via Only Dinosaurs.

Ok, let me re-phrase: what if you can't afford to get one of these dinosaurs shipped to your doorstep? Well, you could just origami-fold one instead:

The incredible googley-eyed full-size Kitrex by Lisa Glover. Image via NerdApproved.

Lisa Glover designed this 15-ft long wearable origami Velociraptor as part of a homework assignment on manufacturing processes. She decided to create and sell 3-ft miniature versions, called KitRex, via a Kickstarter campaign (with only 7 days left!). Although you can't get your hands on a full-size model yet, apparently she will be manufacturing them sometime in the future. 

You can back the campaign and receive your miniature not-so-terrifying-more-cutesy model for around ~$20 USD plus shipping. Or if you can't wait, you can download the 3ft KitRex pattern for free!
