What Makes It Uncommon

Velociraptor means "swift thief." Fitting, since these handmade dinosaur sculptures created by metal master Chris Crooks will steal the show in your lawn or garden.

  • Set comes with two velociraptors: one small and one large.
  • Sculptures are cut from cold rolled steel.
  • Details include fierce claws and silhouetted feathers.
  • A 6" stake helps each dino stand out while stalking its prey from the bushes or claiming its territory in a wide-open space.
  • Handmade in Arizona.


Become the keeper of your own prehistoric park by adding the triceratops mama-and-baby set, then invite a leaf-munching brontosaurus or two and a commanding T. rex..

I started out from my garage. As the business grew, and my wife’s and neighbors' patience stretched, it was time to move to an industrial space. There I can bang and grind at all hours of the night. It's 1,000 square feet of pure metalworking nirvana.

Chris Crooks took a winding road to get to where he is now—creating imaginative lawn sculptures inspired by the Southwest landscape he calls home. After graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Chris worked in advertising, then ran a printing business with his wife, while painting during his free time. It was when the couple moved to Tucson that Chris collaborated with a metal art manufacturer and fell in love with the art form. He now designs and creates sculptures in his studio at the foot of the Santa Rita Mountains. "I always wanted to make a living doing something genuinely enjoyable," he says. "To get up in the morning raring to go, and never having enough time to do everything you want to do."

My most favorite thing in the garden

I bought these a few years ago. The are still my most favorite things in the garden. They are weathering really well!

The perfect garden critters

Found a spot for them where we can see them every day. Visitors get a kick out of them too.


Great looking dinosaurs

As soon as I saw the velociraptors, I knew they had to come live at my house. They are great looking. The only drawback is that if they aren't treated, they will darken and the color they are now is perfect. A friend who refurbishes furniture has agreed to figure out a coating that will keep the velociraptors' finish looking the way it does now even while being outdoors. If the maker doesn't wish to coat them, it would be nice if he'd give instructions how to preserve the finish because it is great looking and adds to the appearance of the velociraptors.


My Dads favorite gift of all time

My dad set this up in his gravel area on the walkway to the house. Great surprise for guests who have not come before!


These are fantastic!!

My husband put these in our backyard, and they look amazing! They were easy to install, and they are a good size. My husband placed these in the perfect spot so we can see them when we look out from inside the house or no matter where we are in the backyard. Very happy with our purchase!!


Got these as a gift five months ago

I got these as a gift as a house warming present. They are holding up well in the winter with some snow. I absolutely love looking out the window and seeing them. I ended up buy the other ones. I wish there were more dinosaurs to buy.


Awesome garden addition

In a xeriscaped garden that already has a triceratops!


Garden Raptors? YES PLEASE!

Gr3at design with some bends to make them more 'lively.' Came with the stakes to secure in the ground. I am not positive if the metal has been finish coated. Pretty positive they aren't. Would hate for them to rust further so I will clear coat to stop rusting.

What color do these garden dinos start? Are they already rusted?

Verified reply from Maxienne

The set starts in a copper color and will naturally develop a patina over time.


About how long does it take for me to receive the dinos after I place my order? (Inside the united states)

Verified reply from Deniqua

We have quite a few shipping options to choose from. Depending on how soon you need them delivered, they can arrive as soon as the next business day if placed before 5pm EST. Here's a link to our hipping options: https://support.uncommongoods.com/hc/en-us/articles/225245547-Shipping-options-and-costs


Do you ship internationally? (to Indonesia?)

Verified reply from Deniqua

We sure do. Simply select Indonesia in the drop down "Ship To" menu in the top right corner of our website.


how tall and how long are the dinosaurs?

Verified reply from Melody

These are the measurements for the dinosaurs: Small Dino: 34" L x 3" W x 17" H; Large Dino: 46" L x 5" W x 23" H; Stakes: 6" each


Love the outdoor dino sculptures but will they withstand the snowy northeastern winters or do I have to bring them inside for the winter?

Verified reply from Allison

No special care needed however, patina will darken over time. If you've decided that your sea serpent has reached the perfect patina you can always use a sealant.


Are the edges sharp? I have 5 yr old twin grandchildren who will most likely touch them.

Verified reply from Allison

The teeth, claws, and the scales on the back of the dinos have pointy edges.
