Space Dinosaur Gifts for Kids and Kids at Heart

Science fiction found its way easily and stayed forever in the hearts of children and adults who continue to treasure them as part of their lives not long after Hollywood spawned movie after movie of the mentioned genre. Aside from motion pictures, there are action figures and other collectible items that are made and sold to clients all over the world. Some of the most renowned figures that are present both in science fiction animated movies, Hollywood mainstream, and educational-interactive children’s videos are dinosaurs. Of course, these cold-blooded creatures which roamed the Earth long before humans existed have fascinated children and adults alike for the last forty years. So if you have a friend or loved one who shares a penchant for these reptiles with millions of children at heart, then perhaps it’s a good idea to get them one of those space dinosaur gifts that you can also get online.

But before you head out and get one for your nephew or younger brother, wouldn’t it be nice if you could get a glimpse of the origins of these prehistorically inspired action figures?

So, long before Godzilla pounced at helicopters and scared the living daylights out of Tokyo, and way before Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park earned millions of fans, you can trace back the humble origins of these leathery-skinned giant reptiles from boring plastic globs molded into dino figures. Space dinosaur gifts were inspired by the release of the film Godzilla back in 1954. Even if there is no official press release or statement from the makers of the film that the gargantuan creature was actually a dinosaur, still it’s the spitting image of the oh-so popular Tyrannosaurus Rex complete with a Mohawk arrangement of spine plates on its back and a blood-curdling scream.

The film became a huge hit for children, which opened doors for the dinosaur to be mass-produced as action figures, toys, and souvenirs. One of the many toymakers who first manufactured monster toys is Louis Marx. The company generated thousands of crude replicas of the T-Rex, Triceratops, Velociraptors, and even other out-of-this-world creatures made of plastic. Although the toys have the texture of smooth plastic which is a far cry from the leather skin of the reptile giants, still they made perfect space dinosaur gifts for children.

And then after countless revisions of the dinosaur figures, today, it’s not a surprise that prehistoric interactive museums incorporated the extinct reptiles into their everyday shows to educate people of all ages of the glory days of ancient creatures. It’s fascinating how much these science fiction characters that turned out to be real yet extinct spawned so many creative ideas for work of art and scientific research; plus they will forever stay in the hearts of many as one of those all-time favorite science fiction characters.
