The story behind the Motosaurus
The Motosaurus is a standout vehicle from the Dino Riders series released in 2021. This unique diecast model combines prehistoric charm with high-speed action in a way that feels truly original. It earned special status as a Treasure Hunt, which makes it much more than just another standard Mainline car. Collectors love hunting for these because they appear randomly on store shelves and are significantly harder to find than regular releases. Designed by Lindsey Lee, the model features an imaginative shape with large spikes along the roof that look like dinosaur plates. The green color scheme gives it a natural jungle vibe while still looking bold enough to catch your eye in any pack.
Materials, colors and value
This Motosaurus comes scaled at 1/64 and is built from durable plastic materials rather than metal. It sports a metallic green body with distinct dark wavy patterns on the sides that add visual depth. The orange spikes provide bright contrast against the darker tones of the chassis and wheels. You can spot it easily thanks to its flame logo, which marks it as a limited edition find. Because Treasure Hunts are produced in smaller runs than standard cars, this model tends to hold value well among dedicated collectors who appreciate fun designs.
Questions about the Motosaurus
How do I know if my Motosaurus is actually a real Treasure Hunt?+
Look closely at the base of the car near where the rear wheels sit. A genuine Treasure Hunt model will have a small, raised flame logo embossed directly into the plastic base itself. This specific marking proves it was part of the limited run released in 2021 and helps you distinguish it from standard Mainline versions that lack this special branding.
Is the Motosaurus considered rare or hard to find today?+
Yes, it is generally harder to track down than typical retail cars. Since Treasure Hunts were produced in limited quantities during their initial release window in 2021, fewer examples exist compared to common models. Finding one still sealed inside its original packaging can be especially challenging for collectors looking to complete specific series or hunt for flame-logo releases from that era.
What makes the design of this Dino Riders car unique?+
The Motosaurus stands out because it blends reptile aesthetics with futuristic racing elements. Designer Lindsey Lee created a body shape featuring large, bright orange spikes along its back to mimic prehistoric armor plates. Combined with metallic green paint and intricate side graphics, the vehicle captures the playful yet aggressive theme perfectly defined by the Dino Riders assortment for that year.
