So, here is the very long awaited Dino Horizons by COG/Tedco! They are a unique educational toy company. Their lines are so fantastic and organized with storage cases, protective boxes with detailed booklets, this is such a major attractive factor for Me that I felt was so cool yet so important and IMO is something so many action figures lines over the years lacked! IMO, this Dino Horizons line is one of the most complete dino series' ever in many ways! I got these back in the middle/later years of the 2000s from Healthstone Hobbies, a great web store in California that no longer is in business. They had tons of rare dinosaur figures (many that I got from them & yet to be showcased), main-steam series' like Star Wars among other great stuff. It's really a shame that they no longer exist as they were a very fun place for Me to go to and shop at as I just didn't like their products but also the look at their really cool appearing gray site and customer service (sometimes I just hate this day and age for so many reasons and this is one them when ginormous businesses cause smaller ones to go out thus making them nothing more than a memory


This is an extremely rare, obscure and hard to obtain series and basically, you can only find these on the international market as I speak and even there they are tremendously scarce! There was very few people talking about them back in the day as it was but now, it's even fewer, in fact, only Dinosaur Collector Site A is the one of the very few dinosaur collectors that is only talking about this series and he is the one I believe where I originally found that they even existed





So it was very apropos to show My first ones that I got that started it all for Me about this series...The Match Box Dinosaurs! I loved that these very small figures came in their own greatly sculpted cases that slides in & out for storage that mimics a match box hence the name, it was such a cool & convenient feature to My liking, if only action figures had this feature! The figures themselves are not painted but rather done in a very old school manner yet looking quite modern at that same time! Their sculpting is very decent for the size and you can clearly tell what is specie is what cause their names are sculpted on their stands


Match Box #1: 7 Sauropods + 1 Theropod!




Match Box #2: 8 Theropods!



Match Box #3: 3 Theropods, 1 Ornithopod/Certopsian, 3 Hadrosaurs, and 1 Thyreophoran!



Match Box #4: 2 Ankylosaurs & 6 Ceratopsians!
