I've been hearing that the line just began to hit Targets. I havn't checked myself yet, but did anyone here pick any up?

I've seen them, but I haven't bought any. The dinosaurs look pretty nifty, but the riders are a bit woeful. The rider sculpts are just average, and their paint apps look terrible. The dinosaurs are also a bit smaller than I imagined. So, I skipped on the line. I might pick them up if they go on clearance, though.

I also saw the Robo Raptor. Now, that's a dinosaur toy that I'd buy.

I picked up a couple of the small ones.

The dinosaurs are nice, but the riders are terrible. I've seen better products from Chap Mei (You know, they make knockoffs that appear in dollar stores and K-Mart). Still, the dinosaurs aren't bad - although they're not real dinos. I haven't gotten a good look at any of the "big" dinosaurs, though, and that might make a slight difference.

Yeah, I saw these figures at Target this week. They were disappointing in person. The dinos are ok, but the riders suck. With limited funds and too many other cool toylines, I had to pass on these figures.

The medium-sized dinosaurs are solid plastic, just like the small ones - I wonder if the large ones are rotocast or solid. It adds a little bit of heft to the toy.

Looks like Dino Riders meets Primal rage. The only difference is I don't think they will sell even as much as the Primal rage figures did.

Although I haven't bought any of the big ones yet, they do look like they're solid plastic/rubber, like the smaller and medium dinos. The riders are terrible - the big blue ogre guys are mediocre, but the "neomen" look and feel worse than most bootleg toys that I've seen. Their weapons are at least pretty good, so I can't fault the company for that.

The dinosaurs are good - they're not "real" dinosaurs, though. The plastic used is really very hard rubber, and they are solid - they've got quite a bit of heft. Articulation is minimal, although they all have articulated jaws. The dinosaurs also have really nice paint jobs for some reason, and honestly they're much, much better than the dippy little riders. When the set goes on clearance, it'll be worth it.

I'll try to have some pics up sometime if I feel like it.

I saw them at target yesterday. They look interesting but not sure if they are interesting enough to actully buy.

They were pretty sweet, but I don't need to add another toyline to my obsessive toy hoarding habits.

I saw them at the target earlier this week, and decided to go ahead and pass on them. When I had first heard of them I was kinda intrested in them, but after seeing them up close I had a change of heart. Like most said already, the riders are crap, but the dino's are pretty neat. I might of actually bought one if I wasnt already getting the ThunderCats dvd at the time.

I got a pretty good feeling that these will be overstocked, and then put into clearnace before long, I just dont see them becoming the next big thing.

Yeah I haven't seen yet but I remember the Dino Riders and these look worse in comparision to me.

Not worthy buying to me.
