okay seriously no clue.
I've looked under Dragon Riders, and stuff like that. No luck. I could've sworn these things were a comic, and or show too.
You'd have a guy on top of the dragon mount, then you'd pull the tail. Which would cause the rider to fly off via helicopter like wings.
See they were like Dragon Warriors or Knights, and their armor had these wings, well to represent them flying, they made them work like a helicopter with the toy.

That Dragon has it's legs wrapped around the black object and has it's hands grabbed on to it, ready to thrust. Look at it, and tell em it's doen't look like one massive pelvic thrust.

It's from those Dragon Flyz toys, A guy sat on top of it and pulling the tail would launch it into the air where its head and wings would spin like a helicopter.
Edit: Just noticed that it may be DragonFlyz instead as they had a crappy cartoon at the same time called Dragon Flyz. One of them had the space.

Another mission, the powers have called me away. Another chance to carry the colours again. My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend. To win the honour of coming back home again.
If we're talking Nostalgic toys though - nothing beats my old metal Optimus Prime I got for my birthday in 1990, haha!

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

And for solly's benefit...
The vibrating Harry Potter broom.
I was working at a Target when those came out, and I remember thinking to myself how odd it was that mostly teenaged girls were buying those. After I heard about why, I instantly remembered selling out of those a few times and then couldnt stop laughing.
Dino-bots! They were awesome.
Any transformers really. My sisters had those flying fairy things, they were lethal.
Jurassic Park dinosaur toys were superior to all other dinosaur toys it has to be said- the skin texture and size of them was just perfect for a budding dinosaur nerd.
And I know it signalled the end of "proper" lego, but the pirate ship lego was awesome. I used to conduct seaborne raids on my lego castle.
Beast wars was after I had stopped messing around with transformers and started playing with mandollies, unfortunately.
I was the envy of all the local kids when I got Dino-bots (only two of them, Spike and Sludge. Was the stegasaur called Spike?), to the point that one of them dropped a heavy metal girder on poor old Sludge, crushing his hind quarters.

The Stego was Snarl. Spike was the Stego from Land before Time.
We would shell out 5 bucks for these tiny pieces of crap.
Good times, good times.
And now collecting Mini-cons/Microns is a sign of prestige in the TF collecting world.

Ah, Snarl, cheers. I thought Snarl was the Triceratops. I really wanted all five, but my mam told me later that she'd had to contact relatives in the UK and get them posted across for christmas, which was a big deal because it was about 1992 or something and we didn't have much money at all back then. So I felt pretty guilty!
Kids...
Thank you so much!
