Pretty good. However you have the max number in userinput. No need for the if statements. You can also put the dice choices into a list to allow yourself to easily update it in the future.

DICE = ['4','6','12']

while True:
    number = raw_input("Pick a dice [%s]: " % ", ".join(DICE))
    if number in DICE:
        print random.randint(1, int(number))
