Cool Papo Raptor Revisions...

I was looking for pictures of Papo's Original Raptor and stumbled upon a cool modification done by somebody.  Essentially just giving it a new tail, but it really changes the figure in my eyes - I think it looks a lot better.

It does look better, I'll admit.

But didn't the raptors in Jurassic Park have flexible bendy tails? Since it's supposed to be a JP based replica, aiming for accuracy is really moot at this point. Maybe they should have resculpted the head, hands and added feathers as well. Then it would be an awesome raptor  :P

Haha, I know. The did have bendy tails - in the Lost World anyway... Its a step in the right direction, and I still like it a bit better than the original sculpt, despite the lack of feathers. I suppose I'm a bit old-school myself, anyways...  ;D
