Raptor models with a side of raptor model

Starting on that raptor kit. So, on further inspection, "partially assembled" is an understatement, and actually each raptor is only missing one limb, both of which are included, so that's excellent. And there's even a bit more in this box than I'd thought!

I bought another raptor model kit. This one is made by Revell and is official Jurassic Park merch for TLW from back in the 90's. The kit is in good condition, and is actually already partially assembled by its previous owner. Should be mostly snap-fit, but I'm prepared to fill in seams and such as needed. Whirlwind (the previous kit's figure, on the left in the photo) had a few complications, but still turned out quite nice if I say so myself and was fun to put together, so I look forward to working on this, too.

That time Mickey Mouse was chased by (and rode!) JP Velociraptors

A comic I remembered reading as a kid in Aku Ankka (Finnish weekly Disney comic book, named for Donald Duck's Finnish name), and tracked down copies of to make sure I hadn't imagined it. Turns out it's two comics, one of which is a sequel to the other, and which were published as two-parters in issues 43&44/1994 and 9&10/1995.

Saying they're Jurassic Park raptors isn't entirely accurate, as the comics are not in any way affiliated with the JP franchise. But the raptor design and the plot of the first comic are quite clearly influenced by the first JP movie, which came out the year before.
