I remember some of those; I think my younger brother had them.

I started watching this before I went to bed and I swear to God I dreamed that I was telling a dromaeosaur that it shouldn't be pronating its hands...

The frill holes on the sinoceratops, and indeed most details on most of the hideous creatures from the Jurassic World movies, make a lot more sense if you look at it from the perspective that they deliberately made the dinosaurs wrong out of spite. Because that is just about the only possible justification for putting big open holes in a sinoceratops frill.

Your response to the fan art was just pure joy, and as soon as that expression on the articulated ankylosaur came into focus I doubled over laughing. Wonderful mailbag, hope to see many of these toys show up again in episodes over the coming years. Edit: okay holy crap that "overly caffeinated fellow"... I'm in tears!

1 hour of Mailbag. I'm fairly confident my package may be in there somewhere. Either you guys have an enormous backlog or you refused to cut out a LEGENDARY tangent. Either way, I am excited to see the contents of this behemoth for the channel.

I'm so glad you know what the field museum smells like lol

I had that little green Polacanthus as a kid, and yes, that _is_ what it's meant to be.

I'm glad you liked the Giganotosaurus, Pentaceratops, and Edaphosaurus I sent. The first two weren't on the list of dinosaurs you already had, which is why I sent it. The Edaphosaurus was because you deserve at least one decent Edaphosaurus toy after receiving that horrid, Dimetrodon looking one in the last mailbag.

The first Dinosaur documentary I remember seeing Giganotosaurus in pronounced it "jig-ah-no-to-saurus" and that's what I've used since. I also admit to mentally pronounce your show's acronym as "Yi-daw".

I have recently been watching old YDAW videos and have just finished the Therizinosaurus episode. While giant sloths are a good comparison, a modern counterpart could be the Giant Panda. Think, both are herbivores evolved from a lineage of carnivores, are large, slow and fuzzy and come armed with large claws. I don’t know why I felt the need to comment this, I just found it interesting and thought someone else might too.

I mean you can kind of say that about ground sloths too, seeing as most other xenarthids are insectivorous, meaning they're technically predaceous (though I'm not sure if the original one was or not).

Oh I remember bringing up Dinosaurs vs. Marsbots in the YDAW discord! The comic is looking really nice from what you can show and it's cool your show is being used as reference for it!

You pronounced Giganotosaurus in ways I've never heard lol. Usually it's kind of like the gigawatt/jigawatt from back to the future. But you single-handedly added three new pronunciations to it lol.

You know something has gone horribly wrong when the carnivores are less scary looking than the parasaurolophus. Geez that thing’s gonna give me nightmares! The Predator aliens are technically called Yajuta iirc.

The last Tyrannosaurus was gold.

Funny story, the binturong actually does smell like buttered popcorn.

17:34 The little green spiked dinosaur is a Polacanthus from an Italian Minifigures line made by Panini in the early 90's. The main inspiration for this one is the art of Neave Parker. The Invicta Iguanodon at 54:50 is inspired by Neave Parker's art too.

Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus - S.C.U.B.A.

Goodness me those last ones were incredibly cursed

That weird mislabelled dromaeosaur reminds me of a "clearly an Ouranosaurus" toy I had growing up which for some reason had Spinosaurus written on its belly. If I get a chance to go back to the UK and into my parents loft, I'll try to send you that one, as it's a riot.

this video had me dying of laughter cuz some of these toys are just... something else...

The Psittacosaurus is probably so surprised because it realized it's missing its tail filaments

"Giganotosaurus (/ˌdʒaɪɡəˌnoʊtəˈsɔːrəs/ JY-gə-NOH-tə-SOR-əs)" This is pretty similar to how I say it too, "Giga" as in "Gigantic", then no-ta-saurus.

Oh my word. That last GIANT box with all the huge goofy dinos and blatantly wrong names was from my brother Douglas, Gaylord in the comments below. When I went to visit him and my parents for my birthday he showed me this video, and that phrase he had you read was a personal shout out with our goofy family nicknames. It was so awkward and SO sweet. Thank you to the whole team behind this dorky, cute, and informative show for reigniting my brother and I's love of paleontology.

Alright time for some backstory on Xtractaurs: they were a line by Mattel back in the mid 2000s and were hybrids before Jurassic World made them cool. You could take xtract their DNA using a DNA gun by plugging it into the black hole, use the website that you get with the T.rex, combine it with other Dinosaurs, and fight the evil Megavores, evil hybrid Dinosaurs. I played the game a lot and I was very sad when it ended.

I guess the psittacosaurus is surprised by its sudden severe case of mange... Poor thing got de-quilled. It kind of reminds me of Paranoid Parrot.

41:58 It looks like where’s my tail quills.

So glad you got my package! (Nathan) Definitely looking forward to that up and coming video, very cool to see my old terrible hollow dinos in your video!

The T Rex in the end was the funniest dinosaur ever made. It's like a bipedal iguana with a huge mouth. Also from 33:36 the pterosaur wasn't an Ornithocheirus. It's an Anheanguera, another type of Ornithocheirid.

2:25 that’s obviously because Three Horns don’t play with Long Necks!!!

I have the same expression as the ankylosaurus after you said 1987 is older than you in a surprised manner. 1987 was a very good year for things to come into this world.

The Pteranodons clearly are preparing to land and use their knees to create flaps... very advanced!

I suppose smelling like popcorn butter isint that far fetched as odd as it is realistically, as we have the living binturong that smells like it. Also birds come in a variety of smells that owners will attest including popcorn. lol Just, not a sent Id pick for a scented toy that Id want to smell. That last box was a treasure, especially that last toy! XD I used to hate models like that, now Im starting to appreciate them for the hilarity they provide.

This is such a good show, it’s both wholesome and educational.

I HAD that giant Ankylosaurus at the end, I used to chase my big brother menacingly with it.

Am I the only one laughing absurdly hard at the Parasaurolophus at 1:00:19? 😆😂🤣 Its face has the same disturbed expression as those horse masks but to an even more extreme level. "Oh fuck help me!"

1:01:50 OMG I had that toy as a kid and yes, mine said dilophosaurus, too! I thought for the longest time that that's what it's called and then, years later, when I found out it's actually called deinonychus, I just assumed I had remembered my toy wrong, like a Mandela effect, but no - the toy was in fact misnamed.

I haven't seen a dinosaur or dino-adjacent that made me legitimately say "What the [heck] is that?!" but, what the [heck] is Nyctosaurus?!" :D

The bumps on a rhinoceros iguanas face kind of just develop pointed end at a certain size, and vary a lot by individual and sex. Males have more defined horns, and some of them can get downright ceratopsian in terms of how many horns they have.

The return of the king

btw the outro still says 2020 on it!

I also pronounce it why-daw, which in my head kinda turns into a badly pronounced "Why though?" which seems like a reasonable reaction to a lot of the manufacturer's choices regarding the toys xD

*sniff* This smells like the field museum!

That Cursed Withered Barney was from our collective darkest imagination.

i only realized this was an hour long about 10 minutes into the video, oh boy! time to break out the popcorn.

43:17 OH MY GOSH I literally own that exact weird Stegosaurus with the flat thagomiser!!!!!!

29:38 That's just what all edaphosaurus depictions look like

33:00 yes, they probably made a pteranodon with teeth wich is wrong, but now that we know the ludodactylus, we can retcon all toothed pteranodons to be actually ludodactylus

8:42 Or... how about a spike the size of a mango? Also, at 16:49, I'm pretty sure that's an old school Polacanthus.

Mmm loving the red and green on that third iguanadon

11:50 Ah, good thing I watched this, I was debating sending you guys this exact one. ;)

14:45 I’ve always read it as “why-daw” in my head

The iguanodon at the end reminds me too much of jar jar binks.

I'm English and remember seeing the Crystal Palace iguanodon when I was little

I recognize so many of these toys and figs

You really hit the jackpot with the giganotosaurus, The first one was from Safari Ltd, and it’s 2017. One of the best models out there. While the colors are not that good, the actual detail can be shown with a good repaint The second is from Safari Ltd’s old Carnegie line, and it’s much more rare. The colors are much better, and it’s a real good piece. You are very lucky to have one that could stand on its 2 legs. Very unlucky to have its fingers broken

I'm so happy low poly is starting to get much love as low pixil

the very last one.....I love him. He needs to be on like a shirt
