Feathers...

 

[Stryker2011]

According to some paleontologists, real raptors had feathers, and looked more like killer turkeys, rather than the raptors seen in the Jurassic Park movies.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I know that, but feathers makes them look silly.

 

[Hellion]

I think its cool looking and the feathers don't bother me but they would probably do better to offer a version without feathers as more people would pick that up to go with their JP & JW customs.

 

[Reinhardt]

If this was a JP version, I'd be all over this (inaccuracies and all).

I would imagine you would probably get a bigger audience for this as well if it were like that.

Really great work!

i thought that "kickstarter" in thread's name meant "first raptor with feathers" without looking inside.
it turned out that it's really a raptor with feathers - but kickstarter is a company name?

I am getting this for my son

 

[potato]

feathers is one thing, wings is another. at least ostrich can temporary elevate themselves with their wings to jump out of danger, can Raptors do that?

$30-40, 1/6 doesn't sound quite right. How big are velociraptors? Maybe I been watching too many movies...
Look great otherwise.

They're ankle biters:

Too many movies then.

I love David's sculpting, but I'm not a fan of realistic sculpts being hacked to pieces for the sake of articulation. It just looks too 'off' to me. I'd be more interested in a diorama piece with 3 Velociraptors feeding.

Even a small monitor lizard -- like a meter-long Peachthroat monitor, for instance ... Has a mouth full of bacteria-laced, razor sharp teeth and wicked hooked talons. While it won't outright kill and eat you, a bite or two from one of those would completely ruin your day.

I imagine an ankle-biting raptor would pose significant problems if it was aggressive enough and did in fact, hunt in pairs or packs. [emoji50]
