Extreme Dinosaurs
 
You remember these suckers? They joined Street Sharks in the Ninja Turtle knock off shows from the 90's. When I say they joined the Street Sharks they literally did because they had some crossovers. I used to watch those shows all the time as a kid. I also liked the toys they were pretty neat.

Anyways I was feeling nostalgic and thought I'd look up the Extreme Dinosaurs figures, I had one as a kid and I still have it. Check out these insane prices.

Are these things really that rare? I don't know if anyone here collects these or did at one point but you got a freaking goldmine if you did.

Here's the one I have

Weren't they a spin-off of Street Sharks? I could have sworn they were on the show, and were called Dino Vengers, before the Extreme Dinosaurs series ever showed up.

I wanted these real bad a few months ago, until I found out how much they go for. I had 2 of them when I was younger. Lame.

Well according to wiki
Quote:

Extreme Dinosaurs is an American animated series from 1997 based on a toy line from Mattel starring a foursome of heroic anthropomorphic dinosaurs and their nemeses: a trio of malevolent dromeosaurids with plans for world domination. Eventually, the evil dinosaurs' objective is to cause global warming, which will make life on earth more comfortable for reptiles. In Extreme Dinosaurs, the prehistoric reptiles were transformed by an alien criminal, and were given increased intelligence and an anthropomorphic form. A new female, alien, police officer character who became involved in the struggle by accident was also added. The key hero and villain characters first appeared in the cartoon series Street Sharks in the last few episodes of that series, the heroes where dubbed the Dino Vengers and were slightly different than the Extreme Dinosaurs. They, except possibly Stegz, also seemed to show some prejudice towards raptors.
So yeah I guess they did. That was the crossover I thought of.

Show must not have cost much it was 52 episodes and aired from September 1, 1997 – December 24, 1997

They were on their own show (best to my knowledge) and tried to rival up our beloved Turtles and Sharks. But sadly, that show was short lived.

The action figures were awesome, I had all four main dinosaurs! Bullseye (the Pterosaur) was my first. Then Stegz, T-Bone, and finally Spike. Couldn't get the raptors to save my life. My cousin had a couple though.

andrewdsz 05-18-2009 06:37 PM

It is one of the coolest cartoons ever,if not ever. Mainly due to the hilarious and fun of the enemies,not the main characters. In the whole story there're only 3 villians(3 raptors) tryin to warm up the global to make the earth more dino-friendly than human-friendly. Hero wise we got T-bone,Bullseye,stegoz,spike and hardrock. So basically is always 5 vs 3, o wellz~~~

The toys are VERY AMAZING, In my opinion they are some of the best made action figures out there. If you really want to collect the toys you have to go for the MOC ones caz the loose ones in general is very badly paint chiped/worn out. I have the best lookin ones that i wanted, one character each:

And yes i got the set all MOC, and i opened them all for display.

Spitfire 05-20-2009 12:07 PM

What are those figures behind them if you don't mind me asking? The guy on the far left in the first picture specifically.

Brodie 05-20-2009 01:52 PM

The Gren guy? Im pretty sure thats the Creech from McFarlane toys, a SPAWN character.

Spitfire 05-20-2009 01:58 PM

Thanks, I just looked him up. He's pretty neat looking I might get one.

Ninjinister 05-20-2009 03:28 PM

Ha ha, Croagunk hanging with the Turtles.

andrewdsz 05-20-2009 06:33 PM

hehehe u guys noe everything =]

Brodie 05-20-2009 06:53 PM

I need to get some of the dinos again. I kick myself everytime I look at these pictures. Like, I got a whole set of Steet SHarks for like 4 bucks, but I got rid of my Extreme dinosaurs. Its sad too, cause I got them on discount at like a discount store. RIDICULOUS.

Spit, lets track us down some Dinos! AND Creech figures!

Spitfire 05-20-2009 07:03 PM

Hell yeah. To Ebay! They made a Manga Creech I saw on there but he lacks the bad ass-ness of the normal one. Extreme Dinosaurs go for crazy prices though.

andrewdsz 05-20-2009 08:23 PM

You guys just need some patient and lucks. Auctioned MOC Extreme dinosaurs usually go for 15$ shipped per figure no matter which one.

I will warm you guys again, DO NOT get the loose ones else u guys gonna regret big time. Those figures are extremely vulnable to paint chips(especially the claws and teeth),same rule apply to Street sharks figures.

And yes they are much more rarer than those tmnt figures, they dont pop up on ebay often so keep an eye on those for like once a week and eventually u will get there.

Speaking of Dinosour nostalgia, can anyone help me recall a movie from maybe 10-10 years ago about these humanoid kinda action-adventurish dinosours that befriended a boy and had a whole bunch of dinosor enemies?.....:|

Spitfire 05-20-2009 09:50 PM

All that comes to mind is this **** fest

That and maybe We're Back

Tarog 05-20-2009 10:14 PM

The show didn't last long even if it had 52 episodes, it only aired in 1997 says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Dinosaurs
