Sadly, some of their chromed weapons are missing. I was able to keep these guys in pretty good condition over the years. As a four bot team they cover the usual spread of dinosaurs with a big blue Tyrannosaurus Rex, a grand green Brontosaurus, a bulky bronze Triceratops, and a beefy burgundy Stegosaurus. It's kinda like when The Calling burst onto the music scene to capitalize on Lifehouse's smooth gravely voiced crooning.ĭino-Squad is a strikingly colorful crew of four robotic dinosaurs who can be best described as "chunky as hell" looking. So these guys join the ranks of other cheapie transforming toys out of Japan that aren't really bootlegs but are clearly aping some other popular brand. I was really happy to find this image of the original card back as it gave me both a name to these toys and the name of the manufacturer: Tatsumiya. You know the type as they often used for cheap knockoffs of Transformer combiners. Rather they were sold all together on one of those half boxes with plastic bubbles on the front. Now I did not purchase my Dino Squad figures on a card like this. For your dino delectation, I give you DINO SQUAD! From the depths of my childhood toys comes a lesser known group of dino-based transforming robots. The legendary Dinobots from the Transformers permeated throughout toy culture and spawned numerous bootlegs and imitators. Giant robots and dinosaurs go together like peanut butter and chocolate or unicorns and glitter.
