    The Carnagie Collection, made by Safari Ltd, came out in 1988 and it caused the British Museum Invicta dinosaurs to become extinct. The Invicta dinosaurs were unpainted and made from a harder material. The Carnagie/Safari dinosaurs were made from rubber and had detailed paint schemes plus they were a bit larger. There is an Invicta Brachiosaurus in photo #3. As you can see it is a bit smaller although the details are a bit sharper due to the harder plastic. The larger Safari Ltd does have a more dramatic pose. It is 15" tall.
    Brachiosaurus was considered to be the largest dinosaur at about 30 tons. But apparently some larger ones have been found. But they didn't look as neat and or incomplete skeletons.
    The neck angle zt the shoulder looks a bit sharp to me. I am thinking the neck should be more parallel to the ground. But that is how brachiosaurus is always portrayed.
