More dino toy painting

Small rex got her mouth made all pretty, and I gave touch ups to some of the raptors, too.

The before photo in the middle is kind of blurry because I forgot to take a proper one before I'd already started painting.

Originally the paint for the rex's teeth had been airbrushed well past the actual teeth, so I gave her pink gums. I also added a thin layer of the pink to the cheeks/jaw muscles, and slightly darker pink to the back of her mouth to better give an impression of her having a throat opening in there. The sculpt doesn't have lips, but I put a thin line of brown to match her scales along the edge of the mouth where it fit. I think she looks pretty nice now.

I also decided I want to give Charlie and Victoria a bit of paint after all, despite initially deciding against it.

Charlie just got her claws painted. Her toe claws were already a glossy, almost black brown, so I just painted her finger claws to match - and, I'd somehow completely missed up until now that the JWFK raptor figures do actually have sculpted in dewclaws. Even the mini figures do, they're just not painted or glossed on any of them, even the ones that already have paint or gloss on other toe claws. So I painted those, too, on her and the raptors I'd already thought I'd finished.

(Also, yes, this is still my Charlie. It's cool Blue's sisters now actually have official figures in this line, and Charlie and Echo actually look really nice (Mattel even picked the same sculpt for Echo as I did, I feel so validated), and well, Delta looks good, too, even though she doesn't look like Delta. But it was fun making my own versions of Echo and Delta and I'm happy with the results, and I think this figure still has more resemblance to Charlie than the figure that's officially her does (maybe it's the having more colour variation, maybe it's the head sculpt, as Charlie does have a bit of snout crest on her, if not quite as much as the JP3 raptors the sculpt seems to be modeled after do). Official!Charlie could make a great Delta replacement if you have this figure for Charlie and want the whole squad without having to repaint yourself a Delta, though.)

Victoria actually looked pretty unfinished, to be honest. Nothing had been done to any of her claws, and she had a bunch of scratches and paint stains on her that I assume she got already at the factory. You can see the biggest paint stain on her jaw in the last photo here. The scratches looked like probably sprue attachment points from casting the parts she's put together from, which then hadn't been sanded much or at all to smooth them. I didn't have anything to do a better job with, but I painted them to match the grey around them and let the paint fill them up a bit to even the surface, so they're not that noticeable anymore.

I painted her claws a bit lighter than her body instead of darker, to further distinguish her from Blue, since they have the same sculpt and similar colouring. I also gave her V-2's snout scars.

And since I've bought an even tinier detail brush, I was finally able to give Skye the feather follicle bumps to the back of her head and on her brows! They're a bit 3D, even. Of course by now in my AU drawings of them Skye has already started growing actual feathers, but she's also bigger than this figure is in proportion to the adult raptors. Maybe if I one day find a raptor figure of the right size, I'll make that into a bit older, fluffier version of her.
