Two Panda Superheroes, M and R

For two Turkish nieces, I made two Panda Superheroes.  One has a heart, one a Turkish evil eye as their badges.  They are both small, cute, and ultrapowered.  I hope they make it to Turkey safely, bounciness and adorability intact! [gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="4" orderby="rand"]
