I need your help.

In the mid-to-late 80s, there was a company that made these Dinosaur toys that I loved. Plastic, colored and like 5-6 inches tall I guess. They had an emblem on the stomachs of the toys that was round with some symbol within it.

I remember these little cavemen that they came with. One guy had a shaved head (didn't know they had razors back then) with a mustache, and the other blonde hair with a red outfit of some sort.

I wish I could be more descriptive. Anyone have any idea? I really need to figure this out.

GOT IT!!

Playskool Dinosaurs.

From eBay selling Guide:

These friendly-looking dinosaurs were made by Playskool from 1987 to the early 1990s. Sizes ranged from several inches long to over 2 feet long. Each one came with a caveperson and some sort of saddle so the cavepeople could ride the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are easy to identify because each one contains a small, embossed circular logo with an Apatosaurus in it. The toys also usually contain text that reads something like this:

Definitely Dinosaurs! http://i10.ebayimg.com/02/s/07/66/51/6b_2.JPG
