Dinosaurs are more popular than ever, but we like to reminisce about the good ol' days.
And that's just what we're going to do right now.
It's hard to make an argument against modern dinosaur toys, from a technical point of view.
Today's toys are more articulated, more animated, and even more scientifically accurate than the simplistic plastic
figures available to kids until the late 1980s.
However, those "simple" toys of yore were just as much fun and provided hours of imaginative playtime.
Among the many toys that appealed particularly to young boys were the elaborate play sets by Marx.
Dozens of themed play sets (and hundreds of variations) were produced and sold between 1950 and 1980.
One look at The Prehistoric Play Set is enough to understand why these sets were so popular.
Like all Marx play sets, it featured a host of wonderfully sculpted characters and accessories.
For the young explorer with a penchant for prehistoric adventures, resistance was futile.
This was the ultimate play set. The ultimate toy.
Sadly, Marx stopped making sets like these around 1979 and the company was dissolved by the mid-80s.
But toy collectors have kept the magic of Marx playsets alive!
Vintage sets like the one pictured above - as well as many others are in circulation today
via nostalgia websites and conventions all over the world.

In 1973, a fantastic expedition was underway at Krofft Television Productions. The Krofft brothers had a solid record for producing fun television shows |
Land of The Lost would be their most ambitious production, relying heavily on optical effects and animated models
while promising genuine drama rather than punch-line driven comedy.
Land of The Lost was a daring but triumphant addition to the Krofft library, an extravagant twist on their tried and true
cartoon-style soap operas about teenagers lost in weird worlds.
As the infamous title song goes, An Earthquake sucks them into a raging storm and a vast, tumultuous flood plunges them over a massive waterfall a thousand feet below. |
Mysteriously, all three of the Marshalls awake in their undamaged raft in a lush jungle. Quick on their feet, the Marshalls find refuge in a cave. Later, upon exploration of their surroundings, the resourceful trio come to the frightening realization that they are hopelessly lost in an ancient and very strange wilderness far from civilization. It seems the cave they found would be their new home forever. |

That was the gist of the Land of The Lost show. They tried to understand the unnatural "pylons" that housed treacherous crystal technology, tirelessly searching for a clue - a way out of this "land of the lost". Each episode ended with the Marshalls grateful to have made it through another day It was probably the "trippiest" show the Krofft brothers produced, |
It was picked up for another season, but as so often happens with successful television shows, its appeal dwindled as the stories and characters became recycled, redundant, and replaced. |

All good things come to an end - but it warms our hearts to remember a time
when dinosaurs and strange paranormal possibilities were just another Saturday morning away!
Back in 1977, a strange hybrid made its way onto television screens around the world.
The Last Dinosaur was an American/Japanese co-production, initially meant for theatrical release
but only managed a few screenings after debuting as a "Late Night" TV movie in America.
Most of the film was shot in Japan, but with an American cast.
Rankin Bass (famous for their animated holiday specials) partnered with Toho (famous for their giant monster movies)
and produced a delightfully sloppy science fiction spectacle about humankind's tendency to mess up the environment.

Edgar Rice Burroughs penned a wild novel called The Land That Time Forgot in the early 1900s.
