The next set I mentioned I would do and here it is, some dinosaur robot action!

Here I have my first ROBO-DINO set, which I was always curious about whenever seeing it online for sale. The 4-pack box is very nicely done with the front packaging having clear sealed bubble plastic for the toys and the character art work inside behind the toys on a card so whenever your opening these toys up and want to preserve the artwork on the card be careful and cut them out precisely as possible! The back shows common transformation photo instructions along with some toy wonderful toy artwork again. This set clearly reminded me of the G1 Transformers, Dinobots!

REVIEW
GOOD SIDES
> These toys are really fun for their simple play-ability transformations and chrome accessories they come with.
> Each have unique consistent looking designs from robot mode to insect modes and their colour schemes are very bright and colourful which is another appealing feature about these toys.
> Each have unique consistent looking designs from robot mode to insect modes and their colour schemes are very bright and colourful which is another appealing feature about these toys.
> In robot mode each have basic articulation from the arms and elbows and some have knee articulation, mostly for the transformation process.
> In dinosaur
modes some have basic articulation like 360 or 180 rotation. The legs
flip out or slide out.
> They share similarities to the Kats, Reptiles, and Insects that I have reviewed already in terms of quality, design, having chrome molded heads and accessories and a few pre-applied stickers.
DOWN SIDES
> For their time they are fragile toys and I have had experiences where parts broke off, so be extremely careful when handling them!

CONCLUSION
Being a Transformer G1 fan, I fell in love with these toys and their wide range of packaging. They have inspired me to dedicate more to them by doing a illustration project based on all their toy designs and toy art work.
