Bone Age was a Kenner toyline that should've been more popular. The toyline was simple, cavemen fighting each other using dinosaur bones that transformed, fired weapons, and acted as vehicles.
Not much info is available for these guys but Virtual Toy Chest writes, "With Bone Age, Kenner really tried to do something different to help turn things around. They combined a building toy with an action figure line. The basic elements of the series were dinosaur bones which you could assemble into all sorts of creatures and vehicles. The toys are quite large. Unfortunately, the packages just do not convey the size and weight of these toys. I am sure that the series would have benefited from in store displays. In fact, the marketing of the series was almost nonexistent. Unlike most toy series from the 80s, Bone Age did not have a cartoon or comic. Due to this and many other circumstances the line did not fare very well. It was cancelled before a second series of dinosaurs were released."
