I need to get them as I remember having this Styracosaurus which until years later I never knew was from D-R (Dino-Riders) and honestly I have this to say: WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A MOVIE OR AWESOME REBOOT LIKE MOST OTHER 80’S SHOWS HAD! I mean this show is on the Thundercats level of awesomeness. Haven’t seen the original, but seen the reboot of it which I remember being totally awesome and epic! Guess this 2000’s kid knows how to Harness the Dino-Power
@@insaneedoko999 Hey that's pretty cool. It's nice to see that these types of things can still be appreciated by new audiences all these years later. I have the Styracosaurus too!! I don't have any of his armor theses days though. You can find a lot of the Dino-Riders toys on ebay. The dinosaurs themselves are fairly easy to come by, but finding them complete with all their accessories can sometimes prove to be a challenge. Also keep in mind that the harnesses and weapons are prone to breaking. That was an unfortunate setback of an otherwise incredibly fun line to collect. Oh and, I'm a big Thundercats fan as well!! I grew up with the original but I loved the 2011 reboot just as much if not a little more.
The dinosaurs were so good they were sold without the figures and weapons etc later on in science shops and museums as dinosaurs after the cartoon ended.
I would collect as many as I could, for they were truly awesome in the past. I just wish they were not so fragile or I wish I was more careful while playing with them that I would not accidently break them so much.
When I saw this video I let out a squee of excitement for a nostalgic childhood memory. Used to collect the toys when I was a kid and still have some of them to this very day
I loved this cartoon !!!! I had it on VHS and would watch it constantly. Had the toys as well. I can't believe this wasn't a bigger hit. It's such a cool concept for an 80's kids cartoon.
Oh my 80s youth had the best cartoons and toys. And for anyone who wants to play this: there's a tabletop role-playing game called "predation". Dino's, lasers and time travel
I was lucky to be born during the 80s. I have not heard of Predation, it sounds like a Dungeons and Dragons wannabe, but I'll check it out anyway, thanks.
the best part about 80s/90s cartoons is there was like 6 viice actors between all of them. hearing optimus primes voice in this just cracks me up even now.
I remember when Dino riders came out in South Africa. I went to the store with my dad and I cried my eyes out because he couldn't afford to buy me the t-rex at the time. Then I got it for Christmas and my brother got the brontosaurus/diplodocus. It was a great Christmas. Great memories
Fun Fact: the scene in Mrs. DOUBTFIRE had Robin Williams playing with the Dino Riders toys, which is my favorite part of the movie. I had a T. Rex and a Brontosaurus Dino Riders toys.
Now I see where Age of Wonders Planetfall got the idea for some of the Amazon units. Especially the laser T-Rex. Also remembered this show. It was fun.
I was in Kindergarten when this show and toyline came out. I still have a notebook of all my drawings of Dino-Riders I did at that age. There was something about the Tyrannosaurus Rex that fascinated me - the green top half of the head, the red eyes, the buzz saw leg armor, etc. I grew up in a middle class house and my parents never bought me anything over $20, so I only had the smaller sets, but I'm thinking about buying the Tyrannosaurus Rex set if I can find it complete. I already have a complete Tyrantisaurus from the MOTU line, so it'd look great side by side on the shelf.
I don't know, people tried lots of reboots and many have them failed, like He-Man Revelations, Ben 10: Omniverse, Thundercats (2011) ect ect. Plus, if you've ever watched todays Dinosaur shows, you'll see how the Dinosaurs look now, not as giant lizards, but as ugly bird-like mutants with feathers. Maybe for its own safety there should never be a reboot of Dino-Riders.
God i loved this series!!! The toys were amazing but broke if you even breathed on them wrong. I brought my t rex to show n tell and he was destroyed by other kids.
aye, even as young as I was, I could recall noting the plastic on a lot of the dinosaurs just seemed more brittle compared to what other toylines we're made with. That being said, the sculpts and paint detailing were extremely good quality, especially for their time. You could tell they really gave a shit about making very realistic dinosaurs. In fact I remember reading somewhere supposedly a lot of the Dino-Riders toy line sculpts have been used again over the years for educational toys
Yeah, they were terribly brittle unfortunately and the plastic they used for the harnesses and dino weapons only got worse with age. I still have many of them, but the only one I have that is still intact is the Quetzalcoatlus with Youngstar figure.
@@jasterthefathyena1843 The Dino-Riders Dinosaurs were indeed used as educational toys. There was a Smithsonian Dinosaur toy line that utilized many of the Dinosaurs from the Dino-Riders line. They were exactly the same as their Dino-Riders counterparts except they lacked the motorized walking feature many of the Dino-Riders had. They seem to be rare to come by now, but I did get the Smithsonian Triceratops when I was a kid. Tyco would get further use out of some of the Dino-Riders dinos in the 1990s when they were, once again, used for the 'Cadillacs and Dinosaurs' toy line.
Yungstar is my Guy!!!!! Totally brave, reckless, yet his loyalty never goes unquestioned.He is the first dino-rider and his Quetzalcoatlus figures I got for Christmas of 1988.I love his design. *Also did you know Yungstar's character personality is based off of Kevin Costner's character from the Silverado movie. And Questars personalityis based of William Shattner's Capt.Kirk and his look with the long hair,based off of He-man.💪🏽👊🏽👍🏽💯
For ages I legit thought I had dreamt this cartoon, I could swear I remember watching it as a little kid and even having some toys but when I would ask people if my generation if they remembered it, no one did. One of my friends almost had me convinced I had made those memories up.
Loved this franchise as a kid, and for years I believed it deserved a reboot. And now that I'm older and wiser, I can see where they messed up and how to fix it. For example; the toys were epic, but insanely expensive and broke way too easily. They should've left out the mechanical parts, made them out of soft & durable hollow plastic, melted the weapons & armour onto the dinosaurs, (except for a few moving parts,) and had them priced low. They could've been almost as popular as the Ninjas Turtles toy line.
OMG, Marvelous Videos delivering this 🔥 with the 80s content!!!! Keep it up.....I loved the heck outta this show too. Edit: This is what Jurassic World Dominion should've been.
first things first I do remember the cartoon of Dino riders I've always had made sure that I had caught every new episode when it was on. second if they're going to make a live action in or a reboot of Dino riders then they better hurry up and make it because I'm not getting any younger.
since Mattel own the rights to Dino Riders they can make the armor and figures of the Dino Riders and Rulons and just repaint the Dinosaurs of Jurassic park.
I sure hope Universal Pictures,Original Film and Roth/Kirschenbaum Films would do a live-action movie adaptation of Dino-Riders and add in the style of the Jurassic Park and World movies and the live-action Transformers movies.
Maybe once the Jurassic World hype starts dying down. The Dino Riders IP is owned by Mattel, who also hold the license for Jurassic World toys. They wouldn't reboot one dinosaur series while the other is still profitable.
I remember having this on VHS, and several of the toys including the Commando dou pack of Astro and Glyde...Did not realise the implications when I was a kid
Movie ideas 1: Assassins vs Dragons, Dinosaurs, and Demons 2: Black Ops and Navy Seals vs Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies 3: Cheerleaders vs Kaiju and Cthulhu 4: Cowboys and Ninjas vs Naga and Succubus 5: Knights vs Ghosts, Ghouls, and Goblins 6: Mermaids and Princesses vs Bigfoot, Aliens, and Robots 7: Pirates and Vikings vs Dragons, Dinosaurs, and Demons 8: Pregnant Woman vs Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies 9: Samurai vs Kaiju and Cthulhu 10: Wizard and Witch vs Naga and Succubus 11: Yakuza vs Ghosts, Ghouls, and Goblins
Indeed. Just like Tormack from "Galtar and the Golden Lance" was Bloth from "the Pirates of Dark Water." And Starscream from "Transformers" was Cobra Commander in "G. I. Joe." (Both the 80s shows.)
Dino Riders was one of my first obsessions as a kid. Sadly there was just 13 episodes made. I heard that there was a plan of making a movie of the series, but apparently Jurassic World was made instead. Not sure if there is any truth to this at all.
I had at least one of the figures but I couldn't remember the name of the line. If I was a kid again back then I would have probably played with them more
Watching cartoons like this growing up probably influenced me to become a vegan animal rights activist, I just love how much respect the Valorians had for the animals they worked with.
The comics seemed wild and sadly not something they would have done in the tv-show or maybe. But yeah Marvel am I right haha. Still intresting and really cool. Might be nice with a IDW comic of Dino Riders unless we can get a show again.
A lot of these 80s shows have awesome concepts. They could easily be rebooted into a new show or film series, just use the show as the blueprint and add to it from there.
I do like this video but I have a few critiques. You speak of Youngstar while showing footage of Questar. You also consistently mispronounce several character names. It just creates the impression that no one involved in making this video even bothered to watch the show in preparing to make said video.
I'm crying out of sheer joy while watching this...lots of childhood memories
Indeed.
You will be crying out of pure depression if Disney gets its hands on it.
@@DustinBarlow8PI'd be ok with it.
Loved them so much
I was a big fan of Dino-Riders when I was a kid in The 80s. I still have many of the toys and all the episodes on unofficial DVD.
Harness the power!!

I remember Dino Riders. A friend of mine waaaay back then liked the toys. I still remember the commercial tagline: "Harness the power, Dino Riders!".
I remember this cartoon, but I also remember a cartoon named Sky Commanders. So many cartoons to remember.
This show is not forgotten. I remember getting up early on Saturday to watch this show. Now my children have watched each episode.
I use to watch the show many times as a kid and collect many of the toys as I could. (Sigh) Memories.
@@dreamguardian8320 Same with me. the only two I never got was the Rex and the Diplo.
This was one of my favorite shows/ toy lines as a kid!
Dino Riders was heckin' dope. Shout out to Dinosaucers gang gang too. 80's & 90's had peak dino cartoons
I had the VHS thought no1 knew about this show apart from me lol so I love seeing it on ur channel
That's why I'm posting a new episode of the series every Sunday! Remastered from the DVD source. It deserves to look its best. Thanks for the video!
I have never forgotten this show and toys!
Me neither.

Oh man, now this brings back my youth, I think I had pretty much every toy. Thanks for this ha!
the best part about 80s/90s cartoons is there was like 6 viice actors between all of them. hearing optimus primes voice in this just cracks me up even now.
This transported me back to being a seven year old in 1988 watching this on channel 13 . Thanks for posting
love this show the best!!! Dino and gunZ cant beat that
With how many people bring young kids to Jurassic Park you would think they would have done this already.
Yooooooooo!!!!
Yes!
This was my shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!🔥💪🏾
The Trex toy with the wheels in his feet?? Classic!😭
I still have him!!
Dino-Riders needs a comeback, imagine if Genndy Tartakovsky remade it:)
That would definitely ROCK
Oh hell yes!!! The guy did Primal and Samurai Jack. He's like the perfect choice.
I remember when Dino riders came out in South Africa. I went to the store with my dad and I cried my eyes out because he couldn't afford to buy me the t-rex at the time. Then I got it for Christmas and my brother got the brontosaurus/diplodocus. It was a great Christmas. Great memories
My cousin had the T&rex and i had the anchylosaur
one of my favourites
Mine too.
This show came to me in a dream today. Completely forgot about it but it was a favourite as a child.
I have never heard this mentioned by anyone but me lol. This is awesome!
The Dino Rider toys were totally the only toy line I had as a kid. Ah memories..
Fun Fact: the scene in Mrs. DOUBTFIRE had Robin Williams playing with the Dino Riders toys, which is my favorite part of the movie. I had a T. Rex and a Brontosaurus Dino Riders toys.
I'm willing to bet it was a Smithsonian release.
Now I see where Age of Wonders Planetfall got the idea for some of the Amazon units. Especially the laser T-Rex.
Also remembered this show. It was fun.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊
My Brother just had the toys but they were SICK! I would absolutely watch a live action movie!
I was in Kindergarten when this show and toyline came out. I still have a notebook of all my drawings of Dino-Riders I did at that age.

I watched the two episodes, plus one they forgot to mention, the Ice Age Adventure.

I remember this! 🥰
Me too.
On real..this shit goes so hard!!
They had a golden opportunity with the 2023 movie "65" but they dropped the ball on that. Imagine a live action Dino-Riders movie!
The battery-operated T-Rex from the Dino-Riders toyline is the basis for the T-Rex in Toy Story.
It was only one season? I was obsessed as a kid . Had most of those toys
Three I believe
Some guy mentioned here that it only last 13 episodes
This should eventually happen to JURASSIC PARK
I just want a Dino Riders/GI Joe Crossover
Watching cartoons like this growing up probably influenced me to become a vegan animal rights activist, I just love how much respect the Valorians had for the animals they worked with.
I loved the toys.
Me too.
Invasion America Explored This Forgotten 1990's Scifi Animated Series from Dreamworks Television
This show if redone would be awesome, there is so potential with the lore its criminal that marvel has sat on it and done nothing with it.
This is your brain on the 📦 and this is my brain in the 📦 Any questions? I always liked this amazing animated series!
At 3:40, that's not 'Youngstar'. It's the leader of the Dino-Riders 'Questar'.
That's right.
BEFORE THE K-TOKUSATSU TV SHOW CALLED ARMORED SAURUS, THERE WAS... DINO RIDERS! 👊💥😎
Netflix or Amazon should pick it up and renew, with the toy line.
The Legendary Frank Welker. Krulos was a great villain!
I had the anchylosaur with the crossbow on its back as an actionfigure as a kid and one of my cousins had the T-rex
Yeah I LOVED this show. What kid wasn't all about dinosaurs being pals with humans? Jurassic Park eat your heart out. 😂
Ah yes, dubstep sure was awesome 👌
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was also a good show
Yes, but not as good as Dino-Riders.

Whatcha doin step crystal?
Can you do videos on the Bionic Six, Spiral Zone, M.A.S.K. and C.O.P.S. ?
I still have a couple of the old toys in my dads roof space
Pretty sure it’s Questar, not Quaystar.
That's right.

I don't know, a lot of shows got rebooted and many of them failed. Maybe for its own safety, Dino-Riders should never get a reboot.
Can you guys do one on Dinosaucers???
Not forgotten by everyone dude
I think it's funny they blasting dinosaurs 😂🤔😂
I preferred Extreme Dinosaurs
I had some episodes of this on vhs
This is the best toy commercial any cartoon ever was and got my folks to cough up hundreds probably to Tyco. Yay capitalism!
They need a live action movie
Adam Wingard would be a perfect fit for it 👌.

It just creates the impression that no one involved in making this video even bothered to watch the show in preparing to make said video.
can you do extreme dinosaurs next
What I could not get around is that they have all this tech and ability to build things, but cannot make a wheel to move the powered up weapons?
Mindzei is pronounced MIND'S EYE
Actually it was Quest Star who used his amp medallion to befriend the dinosaurs near them
I found the series a few years ago online. I tried watching the first 3 or 4 episodes, and I actually found the show rather unengaging
Most 80s action cartoons are like that. They were marketing vehicles for toy lines. The actual stories are an after thought.
live action please...
It’s like Turok, without Turok.
Continual mispronunciation of not only the names of the characters but some of the dinosaurs as well kind of robs this video of its enjoyment.
oodasa in the mmo world of warcraft is also based on it
