The Dinozone toys are nothing but shell formers.

But they are cool shell formers. The show seemed a little campy, and to me had a very weak basis for them to continue on much past one season.

It was a nice attempt but it just wasnt meant to be.

The toys are kinda cool though, especially the shadow versions.

The Asian style dragon one was an awesome toy that wasn't a shellformer (Gigano Dragon was it?). That was a cool toy with an interesting transformation. I quite liked it, still got it.

But yeah, seems they just weren't doing enough sales and the line just kind of died. Bandai wasn't a major toy player in the USA at the time either it seems.

Monster Rancher was also out at the time. Both were interesting. Love the MR games so I found that era to be fun.

that, and Beast Machines seriously kicked its ass.

(I worked at Toys R Us at the time, i remembered the BM toys selling very well, while the dinozars gathering dust)

If you really want to know, why not check some web site for info.
Stick Zarak
I tried google... I HATE GOOGLE!!!!

And so this post doesn't seem like spam:

What was Drago Draconis' purpose?
Taz-bot
I'm not to sure, I never saw him before on the show.

Escaflowne is an awesome anime if you get the DVD box set or an 'untouched' version. Fox Kids really neutered it. They took a mature anime and kiddified it, which makes it horrible as always.

By that do you mean that they took an anime for adults and changed it for kids?
Taz-bot
I think so.

Bingo.

Escaflowne is VERY mature. Not "gotta procreate" mature, but really mature. As in, an anime designed to make people think but said people also have to be aware of the messages. Which include finding your sexuality, your role in life, etc etc. The heroine even contemplates suicide in it which isn't something for kids obviously.

The movie's even worse on everything.

So they turned what sounds like a good show into a bad show?
Taz-bot
Yep.

Very much so. Uncut, Escaflowne is an -awesome- anime. Easily one of the 10 best of all time. Amazing music, great visuals, an excellent storyline all rolled into one. THEN add in all the characters and the fact that they are flawed heroes and you got a very memorable anime. I can't recommend it highly enough in its real format.

Fox Kids format though, is just a joke.

Which, coming back to TFs like we all like, makes one wonder how BMac could have been better if Fox Kids wasn't producing it.

Does anyone know anything about this toy line?

They're fun to transform, though.....

But yeah, once I get a shelf for them I'll probably leave them alone
