History of Dino-Riders | 1988 Toys by Tyco | Cartoon Retrospective | Toy Histories | Fan Documentary

[@universeexpandingbooksandt2821]

Fantastic! I grew up near Washington, DC so I really loved seeing the Smithsonian Natural History Museum (my favorite!) as it looked back then. Of course I loved Dino Riders and remember seeing the exclusive line in the shops. It was a great time to be a kid.

[@MythonThePython]

What a great video! I loved it, was great to see Oz & the others talking with you about these toys as well. Very well done, educational and entertaining! Made me think of my Dino Riders toys and what I could remember still from that time in my life. Thank you for putting this together! ❤

[@ToyKennections]

It was a blast to work with these fine folks! Thanks for watching and glad it brought back some memories.

[@Chasing80sToys]

Watching it now on the big screen. Love this format. Great guests. Excellent quality.

[@ToyKennections]

Thx for watching Chris! Glad you liked it.

[@RetroActionUK]

Fantastic retrospective on one of the most legendary 1980s toylines!

[@ToyKennections]

Thx for watching!

[@VintageToyRush]

Really enjoyed this one! Great work everyone involved. I never had Dino Riders as a kid but am loving collecting them as an adult. Now, I'm intrigued by those Ice Age ones but have a feeling they're not easy to find. Nice one!! 👍

[@ToyKennections]

Glad to hear it! Also pretty cool you were able to find some. They are tough to come by at the toy shows I attend.

[@Allison_Troy]

Another solid toy history video, Ken. Excellent work as always. Great guests as well.

[@ToyKennections]

Was a fun stroll down memory lane. Thx for watching Allison!

[@ScottCrusher]

Excellent work Ken and team, really enjoyed this retrospective!

[@ToyKennections]

Was a fun one to work on!

[@TheRetroTinker]

Absolutely fantastic video! I love the way you cut this together! Great work guys! I love Dino riders but have yet to acquire any for my own collection

[@ToyKennections]

Was a fun project. Thank you for watching, Nate!

[@gmb7mm]

Loved everyone's stories!!!!! Well done guys!!!

[@ToyKennections]

Was fun getting all the different perspectives and stories on this. Thx for watching.

[@antoniovistcoatis1541]

I love dinosaurs and this toy line was awesome. I want to pull the trigger on getting into it, i just havent... yet lol. This is just a great line. Great video!

[@razif6916]

Man..the toys were top notch back then...used to had few dino raiders.. the book..thanks for this

[@ToyKennections]

Thx for watching.

[@henryisnotafraid]

Omg I completely forgot about these!! Thank you so much for bringing up something so nostalgic, I I have a flood of memories from playing with these toys! Ever think about doing a short dock on pop oids? I know they're not very exciting but they were a huge part of my introduction to fast food and creative bendy Happy meal toys.

[@ToyKennections]

Glad to bring back some memories! Haven't considered pop oids yet, no.

[@greentokyo]

Amazing video! So in depth and well put together! Keep up the great work!

[@ToyKennections]

Thx! More videos coming like this!

[@johnnymason2460]

I did at one point have the first two episodes of Dino Riders on VHS. I would love to have all the episodes right now.

[@ToyKennections]

They're still a fun watch

[@joshua2814]

Cool stuff. I don’t even remember this property from the time. Not sure if it was because I was fiercely loyal to MotU even after it ended or because I wasn’t particularly into dinosaurs (didn’t love or hate them). But I love learning about the stuff I missed.

[@superiorcybergodzilla5670]

They were great toys

[@caveman42o7]

I thought I was the only one that loved Dino riders lol😅

[@ToyKennections]

Welcome to the club, I guess? 😎

[@bobahicks]

Dino-Mite! Great video 💥💥💥💥💥

[@ToyKennections]

Thx for watching man!

[@impossiblepie]

Awesome video Ken fantastic job, i don't think i ever had interest in thos line growing up but i do remember it

[@ToyKennections]

Thx for watching, man!

[@impossiblepie]

@@ToyKennections my pleasure.

[@Scotty-Z70]

I only had the MASK size action figures from DINORIDERS. Never cared about them when they were new [i think i was out of the age-frame that they were set for...and i preferred MECHA/TRANSFORMERS]. Then IMAGINEXT did this line of similar figures with dinosaurs about 10 years go...and then ZURU did theirs...now it's almost like this line is back unofficially like never before.

[@kidchuckle]

man... I was so looking forward to this! Great job guys!

[@ToyKennections]

Always a good time to talk Dino-Riders!

[@jonathanulrich4905]

I remember seeing these at our local Walmart and being amazed.my mom said they were satanic so never got any.but this year I finally got the diplodocus!

[@ToyKennections]

The Diplodicus is amazing!

[@JoePal-c3n]

I still have my tone of Lego 😎😎 also Ken and Steve thanks for the comic for Delta17 just love those Red Okami figures. Fantastic colour scheme and the detailing. Also can you ask Steve if he can get a weapons pack or two made before the next figure wave. People would buy the crap out of weapons packs for delta17. Thanks again bud

[@ToyKennections]

Steve and I will definitely have a discussion on something similar to this 🙏 Glad you love the comic and the Joefest Okami!

[@JoePal-c3n]

It’s close to the end of construction season. So if I do get some extra money I want to buy the transformer cross over and a few more red Okamis and a few more Bats. lol then when I am laid off of it snows lots then we make good money. So then I will also buy more. lol 😂 plus I normally pay a lot of my bills in advance so it’s not as bad in the winter and I always buy more then enough food to last over the whole winter. lol I stock up. Plus I recommend you stock up of food items cause then if there is any shortages or disruptions or price fluctuations you always have what you need so you don’t get effected.

[@ToyKennections]

@@JoePal-c3n all the best, Joey! I used to work as a construction inspector in my younger days actually.

[@JoePal-c3n]

That’s super awesome and I know a weapons pack is like printing gold. Call sign longbow has them and I know I ordered at least 6 to 9 lol they should have used your factory cause it’s wayyy toooo long. But like you said ghost is on the way. I wish all the rest of the figures would be on the way too lol 😂

[@ToyKennections]

@@JoePal-c3n I am super excited for Ghost to arrive!

[@colt5189]

I wish Mattel would make a modern recreation of Dinoriders with more detail. Like Super7 and TMNT. I really wanted Dinoriders, but never got any.

[@ToyKennections]

They are pretty underrated. I'm excited for Cyberzoic though.

[@JoePal-c3n]

Interesting video. I am surprised I never heard of it. I always loved dinosaurs I think in grade 5 I did a science fair project on them. We had small plastic dinosaurs 🦕 in the 80s. Bit at least we had Dinobots transformers. I bought tones so larger dinosaurs for my daughters. I was mostly into Heman star wars then transformers gijoe and ninja turtles. My friends had some visionary’s cops and crooks sigma 6 or bionic 6 can’t recall. A team was cool 😎 and well Lego. One thing a lot of people forget to mention is models. I had tones of war models. Train models & train sets. I giving my neighbour Frank all the train stuff I have left cause I just don’t have time for it. I have 7 train engines and lots of train cars and tracks plus a few models left. You do know there was an A team train set I had that instead of the GIJoe one. lol 😂 maybe I should do a video just talking about all the old different toys I used to have in the 1980s and 1990s. I even had plastic dungeons and dragons. Dungeons and dragons figured I still have the ladder from my Fortress of Fangs. I wish I would have kept that set. Plus tones of hot wheels cars. Little lassis army men micro machines loved those. So I bought 500 more hot wheels so my daughters can have fun playing with them later on. Some from thrift stores the other half new from flea markets and dollar stores in the package. Plus we also had video games. Commodore 64 buck rogers on tape. Coleco vision Atari Intelevison Nintendo Super Nintendo the it went to PlayStation then PlayStations 2 then 3. Then stopped gaming for now. Just to look back on everything we had or someone else had for toys. Just soo much

[@JoePal-c3n]

I was a bit of a nerd. I’m band. lol 😂 and yup played chess stayed in lunch out to play computer games. lol in fact we were the first ones to have computers in grade four and now my kids can operate tablets at age 2 and cell phones just to find there favourite shows or what they enjoy watching.

[@bsimon9427]

interesting video. never had any, never seen the show but i'd seen them in the store. thought it was a wacky concept but mainly it wasnt in joe scale so i was out BUT this video makes it kinda interesting to me. thanks for doing it.

[@ToyKennections]

Happy to make the video. Thx for watching.

[@podcastfromthepit3132]

Great video

[@ToyKennections]

Thx for watching, Casey. 🫡

[@damiencampbell1090]

They need to make a movie and bring back the toys

[@ToyKennections]

That would be fun.

[@Scotty-Z70]

i had the ROBO lego-compatible toys by TYCO...the helicopter robot and the longbed hauler/robot

[@knetge]

I had both the T rex and the Diplodocus as a kid. sadly I left them outside in a laundry basket with a bunch of other toys. after the rains, the basket ended up getting in festted with all sorts of bugs and spiders. I ended up getting rid of the whole thing. :( it wasn't till after I realized what was in it.

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

DINO-MIGHT!

[@ToyKennections]

HA!

[@JoePal-c3n]

I have the jurassic Park T-Rex

[@ToyKennections]

I'll need another T-Rex of sorts soon... Grimlock may be my only representation at the moment 😅

[@JoePal-c3n]

1983 called the other world it also had two headed dragons not called the lost world. lol Walmart had the $50 T. rex you can make it eat your figures. Super awesome and it makes sounds.

[@JoePal-c3n]

I don’t remember those toys the lost world had some cool little trolls and guppies a giant hawk but bendable figures. lol I think there weapons glowed on the dark. And Dungeons and dragons fortress of fangs early 80s
