Roselaar's All-new PB-free Collections Thread

[Roselaar]

Here's something the older generation of collectors will remember fondly: Dino Riders! Still waiting on that 200 million dollar movie adaptation...

[Roselaar]

Lots of Chinasaurs, from a company whose name currently escapes me.

[Roselaar]

And now for JP Series 2. Got much less doubles of this line, as it was not available in most of Europe.

More Dino Riders and their various schwifty accessories:

[Roselaar]

More funky JPS2 figures.

[Roselaar]

Some more Chinasaurs:

Some people will remember these fondly:



I have since acquired the entire series, but haven't made new pics yet.

[Jose S.M.]

I had like the first 10 numbers! but they stopped showing in my country after that.

[Roselaar]

Some more Tycosaurs. The Rexes and Diplodocus are re-issues, sadly. So not motorized like their illustrious predecessors.

[CityRaptor]

Well, but you got the rare Chasmosaurus, too.

I have since acquired the entire series, but haven't made new pics yet.

I've got all 104 of them.

[Faelrin]

Wow it's crazy how big those rexes are to that tiny little Protoceratops. They nearly scale up to each other like the real animals would. I'm kind of sad I missed out on all these cool toys as a kid (including most of the JP stuff as well).

The Dino Riders were pretty good figures in the toy market. They were marketed as we all know in the nineties. What I liked most about this company was that many of its figures focused on the ceraptosides and some dark animals to date in the toy market as the placerias.

Correction: I have all the Dutch issues, only 52 of them. Guess they stopped half way because it didn't bring in enough dough.

And here's some more cool nineties' dinosaur releated action figures:

[Roselaar]

And some more typical Chinasaurs:

JP's awesome imaginary bad guys. JP meets WWF. Rare European variations, too.

More Dino Riders. Series 2 is where Tyco actually got creative and made very good looking and 'avant-garde' sculpts few others would dare back in those days.

Tyco is responsible for fueling my fascination with dinosaur models. I'm glad to see fellow collectors that understand and appreciate the overwhelming impact of Tyco on the dinosaur model scene. A lot of their future sculpts were more model like (e.g. Struthiomimus, Protoceratops, Kentrosaurus, Edmontonia etc.). Struthiomimus was one of the first toys/models in history to feature proto-feathers. The Protoceratops is still one of the finest available of the species. It's a shame that Tyco changed their Stegosaur model and didn't go with their original prototype. Any authentic dinosaur collection should have at least a few DR pieces.

[Roselaar]

Well said. And I'm not at all ashamed to say I have most all of them, silly weapons and aliens included.

To me, Tyco and Invicta are really the two lines, pro Jurassic Park era, that were the big examples for other lines to live up to back in the earlier days of dinosaur model collecting.

I also fondly remember these poseable Chinasaurs, on an unrelated note:

Assorted pockets, magazines and calendars:

I had a bunch of Chinasaurs back in the day. Wouldn't it be awesome if someone extends the Dino Riders and Invicta line, possibly by Kickstarter? There were some interesting prototypes that Tyco was working on (e.g Parasaurolophus). I believe there were plans for a Plesiosaurus, if I remember correctly.
