That is the commercial for DrinoFroz, a series of 24 Dinosaur toys made of slightly super deformed hard rubber dinosaurs figures that come blind packaged inside "frozen" eggs. The egg is broken open and water added which makes "snow" from which the dinosaur toy can be retrieved. Sound cool? it gets better. The other half of the egg contains a collector’s book to encourage collectability while a printed spinning top gives scientific details, characteristics and trading value of the creature. The spinning top can be used in gameplay; pitching one dinosaur against another with friends in a trading game from the ice age.
Sounds pretty damn awesome right?
Hold on...
The line was pretty successful and became DinoFroz World, where the egg idea was dropped and the game aspect of pitting the ferocious flesh-eaters against the horrifying herbivores in a never-ending battle...
Now if that weren't cool enough the line expanded again to DinoFroz Combact and DinoFroz Duels and introduced not just prehistoric mammals to the battle, but a bizarre mutation in the dinosaurs causing all kinds of fun freaks with extra horns and tails.
Head hurting yet? I saved the best for last...
