The Carnegie Dinosaurs Collection is the Most Extensive Today
The Carnegie Dinosaurs
The Carnegie Collection first made the Dino-scene in 1988. Up until then Invicta's British Museum collection had been the only high quality Dinosaur toys available to the public. In that year The Carnegie Museum of Natural History collaborated with Safari Ltd to produce the Carnegie Dinosaurs Collection (opens new window) of Dinosaur toys. It quickly became the finest collection of Dinosaur toys in the world and is currently the broadest and most extensive.
The first to produce Dinosaur toys in bright colors Safari, Ltd. set a standard that the world is working to live up to. These are available new in retail stores and on the internet with prices ranging from ~$5.00 to $30.00+ (but not plus much).
They are made of rubber and are great toys in that they are quite tough and resilient. Many of the bipedal Dinosaurs are very well balanced and stand on their two-feet without the tail as a support, only as a balance. The paint is subject to wear but easily touched up should you actually care to.
Safari is continuously improving and upgrading the Carnegie Dinosaurs line as time passes and the current crop combine bright (reptile-like) colors, exciting poses and realistic detail. The Carnegie Collection is the biggest single Dinosaur toys collection produced today. They are (almost) all in 1/40 scale so they can play well with each other. This scale is also close to (or the same as) most every other Dinosaur toys line.
