Very broke but I would :)
I wonder if anyone sent you one of the dinosaur figures from the Beasts of the Mesozoic line, they're incredibly accurate dinosaur figures.
Regarding the squishiness of triceratops - I believe they could be be squished to the extent presented in the video; I don't think however they could regain their original shape.
Totally surreal hearing you guys talk about my Dinosauria Animated series here. I've been an loyal watcher of this series for like 7 or 8 years now, early "Chaotic Good" days. Glad you like the series, Steven! :D
And your rubeosaurus/styracosaurus video certainly had an influence on that first episode.
The YDAW vids made me aware of the specimens you referenced for your series. Great to find out one of my favourite creators follows another one of my favourites!
“All model dinosaurs are paint-your-own dinosaurs if you’re motivated.”
Truer words have never been spoken.
"I don't think triceratops could squish like this... I don't think that's accurate"
Is gotta be one of the funniest thing to hear said with a serious face
To answer why the space dinosaurs have space suits with toes: when I first started doing space dinosaurs, people commented pretty often on the boots. People like their space footwear. And since therapod means 'beast foot' I had to design something that showed off those dino digits.
Such an honor to have sent you that puzzle. Thanks again Steve and Liz.
How could that pteranodon put its wide head through the helmet is beyond me.
nice work 👍

Stephan with the sick burns
This absolute chad started a super informative and well-researched youtube channel about dinosaurs using toys as a teaching aid just to get fans to send him loads of toy dinosaurs. Living the dream, Steven.
Back when I was a kid I had a FUCKTON of dinosaur figurines, mostly from schleich. My mom always bought me one when i did bring home a good grade which was a great motivator since I was (and still am) dinosaur obsessed
Ayy, fellow autistic here!
Dinosaurs are my special interest too! 💖
do it. i stopped being interested in dinosaurs when i hit puberty because it was uncool. only that i never actually stopped being interested which is why i now started collecting dino figures again at the age of 22 and im so happy i did.
Well if you're just getting back into dinosaur model collecting, here's some brands I recommend
Safari LTD
Collecta
PNSO
Beast of the Mesozoic
Eofauna
These are my personal favourite company's with good quality models. Happy collecting :)
Imperial Fuckton, Metric Fucktonne, or American Fukton?😉😁
Schleich was awesome. I should still have mine in storage somewhere. Shame about your figurines.
I don't care that they're outdated; they're still gonna be awesome, because dinosaurs.
“Dinosaurs didn’t have the technology to go into space anyway” …. See THIS. Is why I come here LEARNING!!
Although can prove they didn’t? Maybe that’s where they went? 😆
If anyone doubted how seriously he takes this work, he explicitly mentioned that dinosaurs did not have space travel technology. 😂
Good to see that my package (Draftosaurus with the "cute meeples") has arrived safe and sound. The "Carnosaur" is supposed to be a T-Rex according to the rule book.
That game looks really fun, and the meeples are adorable! I kinda want to get it now
The Jurassic Park velociraptor plushy is nightmarish. Why is the claw coming out of the leg?!
Also, I noticed those legos in the background. Neat
THEY GOT SOME MAIL
THEY GONNA OPEN IT
I know YDAW is mainly about learning and correcting the public perception of dinos using toys and models. But the only way this content has been so successful is because of how genuinely personable the content creators are.
"Dinosaurs didn't have space travel"
Well where do you think they all went, huh? Those dinosaurs we can't find the bones for? Space.
The artwork is a therizinosauroid with resemblance of a hoatz bird. Awesome!
while you were looking at Rexie from HR and went "Oh its signed!" my brain just went:
" -hmm. that's not very accurate, we don't have any fossil evidence for signatures on any of the non avian dinosaurs. and most of the scientific community agrees that they were not signed."
To be fair, that is the sort of the thing that would only be preserved in soft tissue and we have very little actual trace fossils of such things, so there's no direct evidence to prove Dinosaurs weren't signed.
But to be fair, most scientists I've spoken too agree that is probably much more reasonable in early synapsids.
put it that way: anybody who actually would sign (or even tag) a living real T-Rex is just badass 😁
'Dinosaurs didn't have the technology for space travel'
...that we know of
10:42 OH MY GOD!!!!! I have a massive 3ft tall version of that! I got it when I was just a lil kid! I still have him!!
Advice on "Schleich." It is a German name, and in German it would be pronounced the second way you tried, where represents the "hard-H" sort of sound, specifically the "Ich-laut" variant (properly known as the voiceless palatal fricative). It sounded like you basically got the sound right, but if you need an explanation, English speakers tend to make this sound by accident when making an /h/ sound before a /y/ or /i/ sound in words like "huge," "heat." If you can feel the way you create a hissing friction as the /h/ comes closer to the top of your mouth (where /y/ and /i/ are articulated) then you understand what that sound is.
For English speakers who can't make the sound properly, it's usually approximated as a /k/ sound, like "Shlike."
Many German speakers do pronounce the sound in words like "Schleich" as closer to an English (ie a sound kind of in between the English SH-sound, and standard German Ich-laut), so approximating it as an SH-sound makes some sense, but unless that dialect takes over as standard probably the proper ich-laut or English approximate thereof is better.
I was the one who send you the Tylosaurus figure.
One of the things that impresses me is how clean Steven's finger nails are. I get part way through recording my one-shot pieces for my students, realise I haven't cleaned my nails, then continue to record back-to-back sessions, forgetting to clean them in between.
Also, I have the dinosaur park game. It is a little bit too long for my students to play in my time with them, unfortunately.
I'll second wanting you to cover mesozoic marine reptiles. I don't know how much you know of them since I think you've said before you're more of a dinosaur specialist, but mosasaurs in particular I think are super interesting. But, if you don't feel confident in your ability to do them justice then that's just how it is, huh?
That ACE Jurassic Park plush Velociraptor uses the concept artwork that Mark “Crash” McCreery’s produced for Jurassic Park while working with Stan Winston.
It's so surreal when two separate TH-cam channels I watch overlap somehow. Like the time steams have crossed or something.
I love this channel so much.
those lil dinos from draftasaurus look like a forbidden candy
11:30 I got a vetsion of that plush ss a kid that was over twice that size, and I had always assumed that my aunt (who gave it to me) had sewn it herself from a pattern and kind of messed up, expliaining the weird head and ankle-claws. Apparently, no it was mass-produced that way.
12:54 There are dinos with the exact opposite, though - some troodontids and basal avialans have two sickle claws on each foot, with the middle toe remaining the only normal one. Like Balaur bondoc, which people first assumed to be a troodontid, but was eventually identified as a very early flightless bird (because Island Effect). I guess the middle toe is the most important for walking, so it's too important to be used as a weapon.
The raptor is giving the middle finger
I thought thought that Velociraptor was a Gallimimus at first
I loved the Purplepachycephalosaurus
Average Schleich enjoyer vs Average Safari Ltd. Enthusiast
Your channel brings me calm. Pls do a podcast.
At 27:21 that amargasaurus is an nockoff of the Collecta mini
Oohhh, the Postosuchus from Schleich
missed opportunity to use the advent calendar and stop motion to make it look like all the dinos were bursting out of the calendar and crawling away
In reference to Rexy, I love when I am watching a video and something comes up in the video from an unrelated channel. To me it’s like getting that cool Easter egg in a Marvel movie that references something that’s happening completely parallel to the movie I’m watching.
Omg you got a Rexy! That's likely one of the battle damaged ones. How good!
Have you ever considered doing a video on questionable roadside dinosaurs? There's some really REALLY funky looking ones near Petrified Forest National Park...
Love your videos. They never fail to make me smile
Love your content dude. Thanks
Tempted to send in an Edmontosaurus so I can see you geek out about the Edmontosaurus mummy
OMG REXY! I know that channel!
And yes Maine. My home state!
love y'all!!
The drawings on the back are meant to be just an assortment of parts of dinosaurs' body parts that they are famous for. Except for the Brachiosaurus, I just wanted to draw a sauropod. Btw, you should do a Tyrannosaurus rex episode, and a Mosasaurus episode.
Shoutout to HowRidiculous and Rexie
15:52 hey that'd work as a Basilosaurus!
"Dinosaurs didn't have the technology for space travel"
(citation needed)
This video was really good
Leatherman Wave: The multi tool of choice for geeks. Love to see it
I feel like you should someday in the future open a museum with all these dinosaur toys and your criticism of those. I think it would make a great family museum to visit for dinosaur obsessed parents and their kids.
You should watch old paleoworld episodes and comment on the accuracy I often watch episodes after I watch this show.
I feel like I should have mentioned that the other 'paint your own dinosaur' kits on the shelf were completely recognizable - a triceratops, a t-rex, a stegosaurus, etc... which rendered the frankensaur all the more baffling.
Your art is shockingly good. That Therezinosaurus was breathtaking
Rexy!!!! How good! lol
The advent calendar with the skeletons in it includes an Indoraptor!
I have the same exact batch of plastic mini dinosaurs from that calendar, but I bought them in a little plastic bag of cheap dinosaur toys. Interesting how the same figures end up in different places!
Indoraptor? I didn't even notice it!
I believe the stitching on Rexy is the only change that was made from the original store-bought toy How Ridiculous uses in their videos (since the toy gets damaged and they stitch it back up), so its other movie-monster characteristics are unrelated.
This is probably one of the damaged ones from when they smashed a load of them with I want to say Nigel
Nice! I called postosuchus!
I also think you should take those little meeples and sprinkle them on the shelves in the back
Woo mailbag time
In regard to the mosasaur, about the worst thing you can say about it is that it has claws, which would not be seen on large animals that spend their entire lives swimming. depending on the species, the head could also probably be a bit pointier and tail fluke would be a bit more pronounced as well (probably like a shark or an ichthyosaur).
The chunkier design works for it though, as most marine animals had a layer of fat to help streamline them under water.
That Australian TH-cam channel with the T-Rex mascot called Rexy is How Ridiculous.
been waiting for a Mosasaur e[pisode!!! I know, they're not technically "dinosaurs" but they're contemporaneous.....would also be interested in you covering liopleurodon, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs..
ydaw mailbag unboxing challenge at 3 am (scary)(not clickbait)
"A mosasaur as a sea serpent...which isn't that far from reality!"
It's true XD
28:09 Is no one gonna mention that the bottommost dinosaur is an Indoraptor?
Tyrannosaurus episode when!?!?!
Seriously though, love the work you guys do and can't wait for the next episode
Maybe when non-dinosaurs are covered, the title should have a 'not' added in XD
Example: Tylosaurus: Your (not) Dinosaurs Are Wrong #32
I think Yndaw works about as well as Ydaw... Although this also means a couple old episodes would need changing like Dimetrodon(??). Let's do it.
wow your videos are cool man
Q: What's YDAW's most common dinosaur?
A: Alreadyhadyasaurus.
There was an Ouranosaurus in the pile
Hey! Love the vids, can’t get enough. Idk how often you are able to do requests, but if pachyrhinosaurus is ever an option, do take it! I’d love to see what you come up with in research!
I discovered that T-Rex skeleton from a LEGO building set in the background. This brought me to the idea if it would be of interest to make an episode which covers brick-built dinosaurs and dino skeletons? There are plenty of them around for already some time not only from LEGO but also from other manufacturers and even some pretty MOCs ("My Own Creation") designed by AFOLs ("Adult Fans of LEGO") like me.
Hoatzin is pronounced Watson.
Could you do another your dinosaurs are wrong and discuss marine reptiles ?
I'm pleasantly surprised the draftosaurus went for spinosaurus and parasaurolophus instead of the not dinosaurs [but similar in form as tokens] dimetrodon and "not rodan" the t-pose pterosaur
You should do torvosaurus
Ah yes, pleeeaaaase make more episodes of YDAW ...or "Your prehistoric animals are wrong" maybe. I would love to have some episodes about archosaurs and other animals that aren't dinosaurs!
L O N G Mosasaurus
I have aquired the greatest (aka worst) collection of dino toys ever made from my parents attic. Yes, the one, the only, the slightly fuzzy hard plastic 1980's dinos that aren't. Alas, I have misplaced the only halfway decent one, the dimetrodon. Now, how do I get these to you?
>dinosaurs didnt have the technology for space travel anyway
dont ever change.
please look into the lego ideas fossils set it’s so cool !!!
Will 2022 bring a new shelving arrangement?
No one noticing the Orca in the upper righthand corner ;P
I think it's an ichthyosaur.
I might be wrong, but I think that's an ichthyosaur with orca colors and patterning.
That's an ichthyosaur, in an orca colour scheme.
Since you know a lot about dinos you should play the game "Ark Survival evolved"
Where did you get the dino advent calendars? I would have killed for that as a child. I miss my glow in the dark ones (YOU know the ones I mean).
Hey, first of all, I really like your videos. Secondly, I was thinking about something and was wondering if you could tell me anything about it.
So, dinosaurs like velociraptor had teeth just like mammals, for example, whereas birds today have beaks. This led me to think that beaks are more of a recent development in terms of evolution. Then I remembered that dinosaurs like triceratops did have something like a beak, though, but they are actually less closely related to the birds of today.
What's going on there? Are beaks just a phenomenon that occurs in different species that have a certain diet/inhabit a certain ecological niche? Or is there another connection between triceratops' beaks and today's birds' beaks, that points to beaks being kind of a bird thing in general?
The ydaw like dinosaurs but its joined in 2018
I just saw an ad for olympics featuring very wrong dinos, can u please do something on it?
ydaw upload? not such a bad monday after all
Chenanisurus Barbaricus.
Someday I really wanna see somebody just send you like a Transformers Kingdom Megatron or Wingfinger or something
i keep forgetting to send you a very odd reptile? dinosaur? i found at the grocery store!
Wait, how squishy is a triceratops? Or any dinosaur for that matter
Can you guys do a video on giganotosaurus please that would be awesome
/ʃlaɪç/. The "ç" sounds like the "h" in some people's dialects in "human", a soft sibilant.
How much does it cost to post ol' suchus? Is it cheaper by air or freight🤔?
...
Postosuchus, put a little bite in your breakfast, today!🦖 Eat'em with milk or RAWWWW *now with chocolately "bones"*
...
Does anybody know if Steve has played ARK? I would love to see his reaction to the Dinosaurs represented in that game to see if they're accurate or incorrect.
Well, that would be a massacre. Both because the game is frustratingly hard, and because the only dino that's even remotely accurate is the Carnotaurus.
when you pint out the mistakes in toys you'd have a field day pointing out what's wrong probably need a hole new series to say what's wrong
What’s the address for fan mail
🦖🦕
It's in the description.
ooh kinda early
