In October 2025 a new live-action/CGI hybrid show premiered on Disney called Armorsaurs. I best describe it as a mash-up of Power Rangers and Dino-Riders. In this world, the ancient dinosaur extinction event is described as the dinosaurs all being "taken" by alien forces... only to be used in modern time invasion of Earth with advanced armor and tech (or maybe the invading dinos are completely robotic...it's hard to tell). There are five teen pilots recruited to pair with five earthborn (a'la Jurassic Park) dinosaur steeds. The pilots have a rare genetic anomaly that lets them telepathically connect with birds... and now dinosaurs. The show is based on South Korea's 2021 Armored Saurus. All the Armorsaurs action sequences are CGI and "human" unmasked scenes are live-action. I haven't proved it, but it appears that some/most of the CGI scenes are reused from the Korean show. It seems Korean toyline never produced pilot figures, so this new MGA line is very exciting. Let's check out Prisca below!
A major gimmick with these pilot figures is the "Armor-Up" feature where the pilot body is covered with ports wherein a wide assortment of accessories can be mounted. Each figure comes with one main (painted) weapon and a translucent sprue with 24 additional accessories. Each pilot's sprue is unique, but they are interchangeable between characters if you want to mix your colors.
I'm not very good at being creative when there are accessories with hundreds of display options.
So I put on as many accessories as I could for an armored-up look. This is around 20 pieces attached.
Prisca's dinosaur is an orange raptor named Pulse. To me, it looks identical to Paloma's yellow raptor, Blaze (except one has retractable blades and one has retractable lasers). But there are no toys of Pulse yet. Interestingly, Prisca and Paloma are sisters and their raptors Pulse and Blaze are also siblings.
I just noticed this Pulse graphic below errantly lists Paloma as the pilot.
Here are a couple solicit images showing different armor/accessory configurations.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are the sisters Paloma and Prisca in their main Series 1 single-pack releases.
I love that their under-clothing is brown. It really pops with the warm orange and yellow armor.
When I first saw these figures, they reminded me of another Korean dinosaur-riding property, MiniForce Super Dino Power.
Cheers!
