G1 Dinobot galleries now online!

I almost cried when I saw these toys from my childhood that I no longer have...


Anyway,great job!

Is Grimlock's Diaclone Dinorobot cockpit the only one that opens?

Is there a chance of getting a Diaclone Swoop gallery (the blue bodied one)?

They can't. They lost the molds to these figures.

What exactly do you mean by saying "they lost the molds"?Ι know this may seem a silly question but I don't get it.....

They're either stolen, degraded beyond repair, or they just can't find them.

Great galleries as usual, Seibs. Silly question, but is there a chance of another set of G2 Dinobot galleries, speficially the teal Grimlock, green Snarl and red Slag?

Congrats.

These have been a long time coming.

A couple years back Takara started a line that feature miniature (really, they're that small) versions of G1 toys. The line ended rather quickly however, but the concept was picked up by third parties, unsupported by either Hasbro or Takara. Justitoys was one of those companies, and produced those tiny Dinobots.

It should be noted that the company is walking a thin legal line here, as they are reinterpreting Takara designs, but not blatantly copying it so they won't get sued for copyright infringment. That's why they're not called "Dinobots" either, but more generically "Dinorobots", and each is named by its function rather than by name.

The fact they're not shut down shows Takara is being lenient in that matter for now.

Me like.

Sweet galleries dude! Made me bust out the Dinobots and fiddle lol. Great work.

Thanks to these galleries, I have learned something: Sludge is blind!

Seriously, he has no eyes on his alt. mode! Unless they're glared out or something in the photos.

Poor Sludge, he needs an update(along with a proper Steg Snarl) to go along with my Classics/Animated Dinobots. Heck, Sludge needs a proper update period. In the grand Transformer mythos, ther are only two long necks: Sludge, and Rairyu from Dinoking.

Not yet. I don't own those three G2 versions yet. Still looking for a nice and reasonably priced set of the 4th wave G2 Dinobots and the orange Constructicons. One day

Thank you for hard work! Seing the dinobots into your gallery brings back memories. The dinobots that I has was Slag.
