Dino-Riders is an animated television series that first aired in 1988. [1] The cartoon was primarily a promotional show to launch a new Tyco toy line. [2] Only fourteen episodes were produced, three of which were produced on VHS for the United States. [2] The show aired in the U.S. as part of the Marvel Action Universe programming block. [3]

Contents

The series focuses on the battle between the heroic Valorians and the evil Rulon Alliance on prehistoric Earth. [2] The Valorians were a superhuman race, while the Rulons comprised several breeds of humanoids (ants, crocodiles, snakes, and sharks were the most common). Both races came from the future but were transported back in time to the age of dinosaurs. Once on Earth, the Valorians befriended dinosaurs, while the Rulons brainwashed them. [2]

Ownership of the series passed to Disney in 2001 when Disney acquired Fox Kids Worldwide, which also includes Marvel Productions. [4] [5] [6]

Overview

The Valorians were a species of peaceful humanoids who lived on the planet Valoria until they were invaded by the predatory Rulons. [2] A group of Valorians led by Questar attempted to escape the Rulon invasion using a spaceship equipped with their "Space Time Energy Projector" (S.T.E.P.); however, something went wrong. They were sent back in time and space, to the planet Earth 65 million years back in the age of the dinosaurs. [2] Unknown to them, the Rulon flagship, the Dreadlock, locked in with a tractor beam, was also sent back through time when the S.T.E.P. was activated. [2]

After successfully landing on prehistoric Earth, the Valorians used their AMP ("Amplified Mental Projector") necklaces to telepathically communicate with the dinosaurs they encountered and eventually befriended them. [2] On the other hand, the Rulons—led by the warlord Krulos—used brainwashing devices known as brain-boxes to control dinosaurs for their own needs. [2] The Rulons then launched an attack on the Valorians, who called upon their dinosaur friends to assist them in fighting back. After ultimately defeating the Rulons, the Valorians renamed themselves Dino-Riders.

In regard to the dinosaur (and other animal) species present, the series is extremely anachronistic, showing late-Cretaceous species like Tyrannosaurus rex alongside species from earlier eras such as dinosaurs from the Triassic, and Jurassic, including the Permian genus Dimetrodon , which lived 200 million years earlier, before dinosaurs existed.

It also show several ice age animals such as the Woolly Mammoth and Smilodon , living alongside Archaeotherium , which lived during the Eocene 16 million years before the Ice Age. Plus, it shows Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons coexisting with Smilodon, and the Megatherium which lived in North and South America, while Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons lived in Eurasia.

Episodes

The Dino-Riders series consisted of a single season of 14 episodes. The first two episodes were produced for release on VHS as standalone specials, the first in 1987 and the second in 1988. Also in 1988, the series transitioned to television, with a further 11 episodes being produced and added to the specials to create a standard season's worth of 13 episodes. Lastly, in 1990, an additional VHS special was produced to promote the new range of "Ice Age" figures, released as "Ice Age Adventure" (but with the on-screen title "Dino-Riders in the Ice Age").

Cast

Crew

Toys

In total, there were four series of Dino-Riders toys: Series 1 (1988), Series 2 (1989), Series 3 and Ice Age (1990). [9] [10] The Ice Age line focused on ice age mammals rather than dinosaurs. [10]

The larger toys in the range also had a motorized walking action with the dinosaur's head swaying from side to side. [11] Each Rulon faction toy came with a different self-automated trap. [11]

The dinosaurs were acclaimed for their highly detailed bodies and color, and impressed the Smithsonian Institution, who contacted Tyco to reproduce the dinosaurs (without the motorized mechanisms and wheels) for their "Dinosaur and other Prehistoric Reptile Collection". [12] Dinosaur illustrator William Stout was credited for dinosaur design on the show's credits. Paleontologist Robert T. Bakker was hired as a consultant.

Series 1 (1988)

The release of the first series of Dino-Riders toys was timed to coincide with the cartoon series on television. [11] It initially consisted of 5 Valorian and 6 Rulon toys, along with eight two-figure packs. [9] [11] A sixth Valorian toy, Torosaurus, would be released at the end of the series. [13] The Diplodocus , [14] Torosaurus, [13] Tyrannosaurus rex , [15] and Triceratops [16] all had motorized walking mechanisms.

Action figures

Series 2 (1989)

The second series of Dino-Rider toys consisted of 7 new Valorian toys and 3 new Rulons, [9] [17] along with eight more two-figure packs as well as 6 "Commandos". [18] The Commandos consisted of a human figure with unique weapons and accessories. [17]

The most notable toy from this series was the Brontosaurus , which was the largest toy in the entire range, measuring 34 inches (86 cm) long and 15 inches (38 cm) tall. [19] In an effort to keep costs down, Tyco had to abandon several features that were originally intended to be part of the figure. [20] These included motorized walking action, four figures instead of three, and an entirely different weapons system. [20]

The Stegosaurus toy had motorized walking action, [21] while the Pachycephalosaurus and Saurolophus both had a mechanism that allowed their bodies to thrust from a horizontal position with their tail in the air into a vertical position with their tail on the ground. [22] [23]

Action figures

Series 3 (1990)

The third series of Dino-Riders toys was split into two assortments: 3 new dinosaurs for the regular series and 4 prehistoric mammals for the new "Ice Age" concept. [9] [24] The dinosaur sets are among the rarest of the entire range due to a limited production run. [25]

The Quetzalcoatlus, originally released as a Valorian in Series 1, was re-released as a Rulon with a new yellow-and-spotted-black paint scheme. [26] [27] The Pachyrhinosaurus had motorized walking action. [25]

Ice Age

The Ice Age subline was unique in that all of the animals produced belonged to the Valorian faction and, with the rest of the Series 3, are very hard to find. [9] [28] This line also included six more two-figure packs. The Woolly Mammoth, the largest figure in the range, had motorized walking action. [29]

Rulon Warriors Battle Pack (2020)

In 2020, Mattel released an Entertainment Earth exclusive battle pack, called the Rulon Warriors Battle Pack, modeled after Army Men. The kit, designed for children aged 6 and up, is described as:

"It's the heroic Valorians versus the evil Rulon Alliance in this exciting Dino-Riders Rulon Warriors Battle Pack—Entertainment Earth Exclusive. Recreate epic battle sequences inspired by the 1980s toy line and Dino-Riders animated series or create your own new adventures! This special edition collection contains 6 dinosaurs and 15 other figures, including such classic characters as Rulon leader Krulos, Bitor, Boldar, and Dino-Riders hotshot Llahd. Whether you're discovering Dino-Riders for the first time or you've been a fan since you were a kid, you do not want to miss this sensational opportunity to Harness the Power of Dinosaurs! Each figure measure approximately 1 inch tall and the dinos measure approximately up to 7 inches long" (Entertainment Earth)

Comics

Apart from the miniature comics included with each of the dinosaur toys, Marvel released a 3-part miniseries of Dino-Rider comics. The comics' storylines were considered to be much darker than the cartoon, sometimes focusing on conflicts between the Valorians. For instance, one storyline involves Questar being accused of murdering his jealous, scheming brother, Tark. Tark himself was captured by the Rulons and made into a human/dinosaur hybrid in the storyline directly following Questar's trial.

The first comic book issue, "The Path", was released in February 1989 and was 23 pages long. A Dino-Riders Annual was later released as a hardcover book that contained both the first and second issues in one collection.

Film adaptation

In October 2015, Tracking Board reported that Mattel has teamed with Solipsist Film to develop a live-action Dino-Riders movie with Alissa Phillips and Stephen L'Heureux producing. [30] As of 2018, there is no indication in the media that the film is going forward.

<i>Tyrannosaurus</i> in popular culture

Tyrannosaurus rex is unique among dinosaurs in its place in modern culture; paleontologist Robert Bakker has called it "the most popular dinosaur among people of all ages, all cultures, and all nationalities". Paleontologists Mark Norell and Lowell Dingus have likewise called it "the most famous dinosaur of all times." Paleoartist Gregory S. Paul has called it "the theropod. [...] This is the public's favorite dinosaur [...] Even the formations it is found in have fantastic names like Hell Creek and Lance." Other paleontologists agree with that and note that whenever a museum erects a new skeleton or bring in an animatronic model, visitor numbers go up. "Jurassic Park and King Kong would not have been the same without it." In the public mind, T. rex sets the standard of what a dinosaur should be. Science writer Riley Black similarly states, "In all of prehistory, there is no animal that commands our attention quite like Tyrannosaurus rex, the king of the tyrant lizards. Since the time this dinosaur was officially named in 1905, the enormous carnivore has stood as the ultimate dinosaur."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cro-Magnon</span> Earliest anatomically modern humans in Europe

Cro-Magnons or European early modern humans (EEMH) were the first early modern humans to settle in Europe, migrating from western Asia, continuously occupying the continent possibly from as early as 56,800 years ago. They interacted and interbred with the indigenous Neanderthals of Europe and Western Asia, who went extinct 40,000 to 35,000 years ago. The first wave of modern humans in Europe left no genetic legacy to modern Europeans; however, from 37,000 years ago a second wave succeeded in forming a single founder population, from which all subsequent Cro-Magnons descended and which contributes ancestry to present-day Europeans. Cro-Magnons produced Upper Palaeolithic cultures, the first major one being the Aurignacian, which was succeeded by the Gravettian by 30,000 years ago. The Gravettian split into the Epi-Gravettian in the east and Solutrean in the west, due to major climatic degradation during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), peaking 21,000 years ago. As Europe warmed, the Solutrean evolved into the Magdalenian by 20,000 years ago, and these peoples recolonised Europe. The Magdalenian and Epi-Gravettian gave way to Mesolithic cultures as big game animals were dying out and the Last Glacial Period drew to a close.
