By now, most of Tyco’s classic Dino-Riders figures have been reviewed here, with a few notable absences, such as some of the Ice Age creatures. Another notable toy that was not covered up until now is the Series 3 Rulon Quetzalcoatlus, which, though just a repaint of the Series 1 Valorian Quetzalcoatlus, was radically different from its predecessor and most other toys of the line due to its vibrant colouration and unique armour and rider.

The first series in the Dino-Riders line, released in 1987, is not exactly known for its scientific accuracy. The second series brought us some frankly very radical-looking Dinosaur Renaissance style figures, including a very modern take on Kentrosaurus and even a feathered Struthiomimus.

Review: Saurolophus (Tyco)

3.2 (5 votes)
Saurolophus was a genus of late Cretaceous hadrosaur that had a large distribution, occurring in both North America and Asia. Despite its wide range, and thus the large assortment of material we have for it, Saurolophus has never been a popular dinosaur. With only a few exceptions the hadrosaurs aren’t terribly popular as it is and those that are popular have some kind of outstanding feature that draws the public’s attention, like the crest on Parasaurolophus.

Struthiomimus isn’t really the first dinosaur that comes to mind upon hearing the word “theropod”.  It has no giant mouth full of killer teeth.  It sports no set of shredding claws.  Instead, this quirky animal bears a striking resemblance to the modern day ostrich complete with long slender legs, swan-like neck and a tiny head with big round eyes and no teeth.

Months ago, there was a call for completing the Tyco page of the DTB and I replied that I’d add a review. I intended to have a look for the Pteranodon, a figure I just then had acquired, but couldn’t manage to write down a review in time and eventually this was done by Gwangi.

For many dinosaur fans, the Dino-Riders toyline by Tyco is a great memory from their childhoods: looking through the toy stores and hoping to get the bigger, more expensive figures someday. I . . . was actually not one of those, as I wasn’t born until the mid-90s’, but looking over the reviews so far, I can tell that there is a lot of love and nostalgia for this line.

Good day, DinoToyBlog readers! Today, I have a very old figure that you may remember fondly from your childhood- the old Tyco Triceratops!

Now, before I begin this review properly, I have to tell you one thing: There were two main versions of this figure, a motorized one and a non-motorized one.

Review: Tyrannosaurus (Dino-Riders by Tyco)

Any child of the eighties can recall the baritone jingle of “Dino-Riders!” in their incessant TV spots. Their adventures could be found in comics and television, but what really mattered were the dinosaurs. The story pitted two factions against one another in high-tech, futuristic battles with armored archosaurs donning heavy armor and weapons.
