Item Description
Lot includes final motorized production model for Stegosaurus, from the second series of "Dino-Riders" toys. 1989. Toy comes w/production rear leg armor and what appears to be prototype design armor on back as the areas around the "Dual Laser Canon Clusters" appear slightly different and armor is pieced together, not final painted version. This armor shows moderate aging and is Fine overall. Stegosaurus itself show lt. paint wear and is Fine/VF. Comes w/hard cast resin prototype of Stegosaurus (unassembled) that is smaller in scale than final production piece. Stegosaurus's head has ink notations on it, showing a "Brain Box" design, which indicates there was at one time a plan for an evil Rulon version of this toy (which was never produced). Back plates were at one point glued in place and there is some aged glue residue along slots for these plates. Could be easily reassembled for display. VF. From the personal collection of Lee Volpe, Tyco Toy’s Manager, Director, and VP of New Product Development (1982–1994) who was involved from the beginning of the development of Dino-Riders, Garfield telephones and several other Tyco toys.
