Back from raptor vacation, you guys didn't have a photoshoot or anything while I was gone, did you?

I'm adding a new member to one of my toy raptor packs.

The yellow and brown JWFK Battle Damage raptor kind of looks like she could be one of Survivor's grown-up chicks, so that's who she's going to be now. She won't need very drastic repainting, but I'll still spruce her up a bit.

Reuniting with maximum and minidad (okay the size difference isn't that big, but I think the jumping raptors are pretty cute being a bit smol) parents. Grappleclaws is Survivor's chicks' biological father, so the new raptor being yellow can be a trait inherited from him. I'm glad she actually is not as brightly yellow as the photos I'd seen of her made it seem, and this colouring looks like a natural variation of the brown JP1 raptors. I might change the colour of her claws to darker for a bit more contrast, and she could use more stripes.

I don't know if I'll do anything about the Battle Damage feature. It's a little distracting, but these are toys, and I don't mind if they look it. She has a case of the tilted feet like my Attack Pack Blue, but she can still stand pretty steadily, if leaning to one side a bit. I think that's also fine by me. This pack has had a tough life, and as her scarfaced other mom and grandma know particularly well, raptoring can lead to all kinds of odd injuries.
