POP 1– AFA 80+ is the second highest grade ever assigned to this piece, there is one example graded higher (an AFA 85 example). There are a total of only 3 AFA graded examples inclusive of all grades.

This lot is part of the “Colorado Find”. Earlier this year, a treasure trove of factory sealed vintage toys was discovered in Colorado. Approximately a dozen “hobby fresh” pieces from that collection are now available for the very first time.

A rare gem from one of the most highly acclaimed toy lines of the 1980’s – Tyco’s Dino-Riders. Dino-Riders were renowned for their detailed bodies, color, and authentic 1/24 scale – so much so, that the Smithsonian Institute contacted Tyco and asked them to reproduce the figures for their “Dinosaur and other Prehistoric Reptile Collection”.

Large item. Our AFA blue label example from Series 2 is a beauty with few imperfections to be found. Each panel of the mighty Stegosaurus exhibits outstanding color showcasing the great artwork and photos. The dinosaur itself includes innovative features such a motorized walking action, head movement, and heavy armor studded with laser cannons. Stegosaurus is 1/24 scale of the real thing! Includes comic book. AFA has confirmed all contents within box are complete and unused.

Dino-Riders toys were more limited than others. Nearly are were opened and played with upon release. Our offering is “hobby fresh”, coming to us from the recent “Colorado Find” that uncovered a treasure trove of rarities. Freshly graded by AFA in April 2025.

Approximate measurements are 18 x 7 x 10 inches.
