Do you think we'll ever get new Dino Riders? I just discovered these and they're so badass but the old toys are really expensive now. It's also pissing me off that the cartoon only had 14 episodes. There is a lot of potential here
>>11769362Probably not. There's a lot of 80s toy lines where the toy-makers simply let all copyrights and trademarks expire from non-use. Since nothing has been done with the line since 1988, Dino Riders are most likely one of those dead brands. But it's possible for someone to come along and produce new ones if they wanted like a toy-maker is doing with Centurions.
Officially who knows. Rumor was Mattel was planning a legit revival, they put out a small set of micro stuff a few years ago much the way that they started bringing back MotU with random stuff prior to the big push with Origins. The rumor was that one Jurassic World Dominion wrapped up Dino Riders was going to show up for a bit. But the original plan for Dominion got pushed back by like a year due to Covid, and instead of a lengthy pause on the Jurassic franchise Koepp came up with the plan for Jurassic Rebirth which supposedly really excited people(why I don't know) and a Jurassic Pause went out the window. Unofficially there's a lot of dino rider esque stuff out there, but none of it nails both the aesthetic and the toy level fun the way the original line does. A ton of imaginext stuff is dino riders coded, there's the Cyberzoic stuff from Creative Beast/Beasts of the Mesozoic which is really just starting to actually come out, but it's expensive, riddled with QC issues and more ideal for display than any kind of play. There's the new Armorsaurs toys. There's indie stuff, like when shapeaways was still around a guy was making 3D printed dino riders style armor for a lot of easily available dino toys. There's Paleolords, an upcoming line of moveable minifigures with dino riders elements. There's PaleoRaiders, an upcoming line of 3D printed stuff that's modern takes on the dino riders, but no idea if that's actually going to come out at all.
>>11769376I forgot Playmobil and third party chinese lego both have several dino riders esque lines.
>>11769362Real sick of these boomer slop threads constantly begging for more of the same 80s sloppa, we have enough transformers and heman already
>>11769395Ill make you a deal, every single time you post this I will make a new thread about another 80s toyline.
>>11769376Thanks, some cool stuff here
>>11769395You should make a thread for a toyline from a modern franchise that you collect.Seething about pointless shit is very boomer coded.
>>11769362Only Asians make cool stuff America is always some gay steven unvierse weenie crap for babies
unfortunately i think these would be too expensive to do properly these days unless they were significantly smaller, and you'd never get something like the t-rex or brachiosaurus on shelves again, it would need to be something along the lines of the star wars micro galaxy squadron with tiny mini figures
>>11769485bullshit, Armorsaurs are decently priced and mattel could any time go full dino warriors and make armor that could easily seat their Jurassic line the problem is no one up top has faith in a badass idea
>>11769362I think Dino Riders sucks. This and later tributes just feature generic museum dinos that wear REMOVABLE armor instead of it being molded in. Chomp Squad was more up my alley. They also wore separate armor, but at least they kept the helmets
>>11769492armorsaurs are nowhere as complex as classic dino riders, thats what im saying, they could not do them the same way
>>11769574But why the fuck would you not want the armor to be removable?
>>11769576Prove it
>>11769591ok retard
>>11769362At best you might see Mattel homage them like they did in Imaginext, but within their Jurassic Park lines.
>>11769574>not liking removable armoropinion discarded
>>11769593Most of the replies disparaging Dino Riders likely come from the usual board troll. Even if they dont it wouldnt surprise me if the original poster is entirely unaware of the various built in gimmicks. Wind up boxes that allow the dinos the move, "realistic" dino eyes, Kenner Super Powers styled attack action, etc. It's a shame.
>>11769369Remind me what the source of this claim was. Was it the hasbro leak where in they confirmed the new CEO trashed decades worth of archived production material from molds to concept art? The idea that so much is just sitting idle despite being free for grabs just lights up my brain.
>>11769726>Wind up boxes that allow the dinos the move, "realistic" dino eyes, Kenner Super Powers styled attack action,basically what Japan makes and still does with zoids
>>11769369It's still listed on Mattel's website as one of their brands along with obscure shit from like 70 years ago so presumably they keep up on their trademarks and have a long memory.https://corporate.mattel.com/brand-portfolio
>>11769587If the toys are the same dinosaurs from the thrift store, museum or JP anyway, then there's no point in buying these>>11769724just like the loose-fitting armor that will fall off during play
>>11769880perhaps for youfor me, theres no point in baby toys like >>11769574
>>11769890Baby toys innovate design instead of use the same old museum dino molds all over again
>>11769897do you have autism?
>>11769362maybe if armorsaur does well they'll try to reboot it but who knows
>>11769479Mattel fucked up the Armorsaur line by excluding the vehicle mode the armor had in the original toy line.
>>11770049The underlying dinos from the armorsaurs collection really remind me of early kenner JP. I feel like it's intentional.
>>11769898If I did, id be obsessed with generic museum dinos like you. Instead of something good
>>11770598you keep repeating the same phrases over and over, weirdo
>>11770599just like how toy companies keep making toys of generic museum dinos instead of something interesting instead
>>11769479YWNBAJ
I would do crossover battles between my Dino Riders and my MASK guys way back when.
>>11770607actually autistic chris chan style
