another toy item that has been bothering me with an id for a number of years, you guys and gals came through once before.....
This toy was made during the early to mid 80's when the He-man fantasy figure type of boom was taking place. One company (whose name I cannot recall) made two items to fit in with whatever collection of your choosing (it was made more to fit the he-man type).
These two items were dinosaur-like and either wind up or battery powered toys. One being smaller (like a Stegosaurus size or some small type) and then other being larger like a Brontosaurs. I recall the Bronto one the most (this is the one I had). Both of these items were made to look like robots, they were not made to look like real monsters. The Bronto one was tannish and the figure would sit on it's back (I would say the item might have been close to 8-12" in height and maybe 8-10" long)). It had the plastic molded and made to resemble a bolted together robot. Both of these things also had a panel that folded down in the back and allowed you to see inside the toy. This was showing the gears as it moved.
I am seeing the image in my head for the boxes. I think it also had a generic type of monster name like megladon or something like that? The Bronto box had a pic of the toy in a desert like setting with some sort of "generic" fantasy figure riding on it's back. I also do not recall if it was just a slot made where you were able to fit the figure in or if it was a true seat.
Anyone recall this at all? I know they were sold at Kaybee toys (rip)
