If we are to discover if our planet is being prepared for open contact by the unseen faces and whispered names of certain globalized brotherhoods, we must keep a careful eye on the toy market to monitor what images our children are psychologically ingesting. Although we (adults) may have to edure the pangs and psychical trauma of giving birth to a new reality, slowly adapting or psychologically inoculating our children before the open contact may help our children readjust to the new reality. The toy industry is the most direct route to insuring the mental survivability of our children and tomorrows world.
Not long ago, the toy industry concentrated on providing children with action figures of G.I Joe's and Barbie's. In today's world, however, our children have action figures that are far different from their predecessors. Instead of human forms wearing outfits that stereotyped the male and female role in society, our very young indulge in a world of toys that are dominated by shapeshifting robots, dinosaurs, aliens and humanoid-reptilian beings.
During the hundreds of hours a child plays with these toys, they indulge in a world in which all the given characters interact. Transforming robotoids teach the child that things are not always as they appear. Dinosaurs introduce the reptilian image to the child, resurrecting it from bone yards and museum cases. Aliens tell the child that we may not be alone in this universe. Animal-human crossbreed beings, such as spider-man or lizard-man, introduce the child to the idea that some aliens may look like a mixture of humans and other animals on Earth. (Like Dale Russell's "Dinosauroid.") Amidst the vast action figure inventory, one image stands out above all others...that of the bipedal reptilian-humanoid.
Are our children being psychologically prepared for a possible future reality involving reptilian-humanoid beings known individually as Reptoids, Draco and Sauroids, and collectively as the reptilian "alien" species? You make up your own mind.
This page is dedicated to studying the reptilian image within the toy industry. We have searched the shelves of several toy stores and have collected the following list of toys with reptilian imagery. This list is by no means complete. If you know of any other toys that are not listed here, we would appreciate hearing from you. Just drop an email (link at the bottom of this page) to us and provide your insight. We will add it when the this page is updated.
