There are innumerable legends and myths surrounding the existence of dinosaurs, and they have always been a fascinating topic of scientific discovery. Even in media, countless movies and shows are created about these marvelous creatures who walked the Earth millions of years ago. One such show was 'Dino-Riders,' which offered a peek into a prehistoric world with dinosaurs. Along with dinosaurs, this show was packed with exciting elements such as sci-fi, time travel, the triumph of good over evil, adventure, and so on. Written by the legendary duo Gerry and Carla Conway, 'Dino-Riders' was primarily created with the objective of launching a dinosaur toy-line alongside. Today, we will be exploring this legendary show in detail and tell you everything there is to know about the Dino-Riders!

I was a big fan of Dino-Riders when I was a kid in The 80s. I still have many of the toys and all the episodes on unofficial DVD. Harness the power!!

@insaneedoko999 2 года назад

I need to get them as I remember having this Styracosaurus which until years later I never knew was from D-R (Dino-Riders) and honestly I have this to say: WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A MOVIE OR AWESOME REBOOT LIKE MOST OTHER 80’S SHOWS HAD! I mean this show is on the Thundercats level of awesomeness. Haven’t seen the original, but seen the reboot of it which I remember being totally awesome and epic! Guess this 2000’s kid knows how to Harness the Dino-Power

@jamisonfrey3452 2 года назад

@@insaneedoko999 Hey that's pretty cool. It's nice to see that these types of things can still be appreciated by new audiences all these years later. I have the Styracosaurus too!! I don't have any of his armor theses days though. You can find a lot of the Dino-Riders toys on ebay. The dinosaurs themselves are fairly easy to come by, but finding them complete with all their accessories can sometimes prove to be a challenge. Also keep in mind that the harnesses and weapons are prone to breaking. That was an unfortunate setback of an otherwise incredibly fun line to collect. Oh and, I'm a big Thundercats fan as well!! I grew up with the original but I loved the 2011 reboot just as much if not a little more.

@CommanderBohn 2 года назад

Now I see where Age of Wonders Planetfall got the idea for some of the Amazon units. Especially the laser T-Rex. Also remembered this show. It was fun.

@justbenelson Год назад

I was in Kindergarten when this show and toyline came out. I still have a notebook of all my drawings of Dino-Riders I did at that age. There was something about the Tyrannosaurus Rex that fascinated me - the green top half of the head, the red eyes, the buzz saw leg armor, etc. I grew up in a middle class house and my parents never bought me anything over $20, so I only had the smaller sets, but I'm thinking about buying the Tyrannosaurus Rex set if I can find it complete. I already have a complete Tyrantisaurus from the MOTU line, so it'd look great side by side on the shelf.

@pirateraider1708 2 года назад

Loved this franchise as a kid, and for years I believed it deserved a reboot. And now that I'm older and wiser, I can see where they messed up and how to fix it. For example; the toys were epic, but insanely expensive and broke way too easily. They should've left out the mechanical parts, made them out of soft & durable hollow plastic, melted the weapons & armour onto the dinosaurs, (except for a few moving parts,) and had them priced low. They could've been almost as popular as the Ninjas Turtles toy line.

@jasterthefathyena1843 2 года назад

aye, even as young as I was, I could recall noting the plastic on a lot of the dinosaurs just seemed more brittle compared to what other toylines we're made with. That being said, the sculpts and paint detailing were extremely good quality, especially for their time. You could tell they really gave a shit about making very realistic dinosaurs. In fact I remember reading somewhere supposedly a lot of the Dino-Riders toy line sculpts have been used again over the years for educational toys

@jamisonfrey3452 2 года назад

Yeah, they were terribly brittle unfortunately and the plastic they used for the harnesses and dino weapons only got worse with age. I still have many of them, but the only one I have that is still intact is the Quetzalcoatlus with Youngstar figure.

@jamisonfrey3452 2 года назад

@@jasterthefathyena1843 The Dino-Riders Dinosaurs were indeed used as educational toys. There was a Smithsonian Dinosaur toy line that utilized many of the Dinosaurs from the Dino-Riders line. They were exactly the same as their Dino-Riders counterparts except they lacked the motorized walking feature many of the Dino-Riders had. They seem to be rare to come by now, but I did get the Smithsonian Triceratops when I was a kid. Tyco would get further use out of some of the Dino-Riders dinos in the 1990s when they were, once again, used for the 'Cadillacs and Dinosaurs' toy line.

I don't know, people tried lots of reboots and many have them failed, like He-Man Revelations, Ben 10: Omniverse, Thundercats (2011) ect ect. Plus, if you've ever watched todays Dinosaur shows, you'll see how the Dinosaurs look now, not as giant lizards, but as ugly bird-like mutants with feathers. Maybe for its own safety there should never be a reboot of Dino-Riders.
