Massive Argentinasaurus alert

Dino Riders Brontosaurus, 1989 - c. 1992:

How long is that monstruosity?!, in huge

[Seijun]

The bronto is roughly 1 meter long.

Second biggest piece in my collection..

Discovery Channel Suchomimus (I dont know the year):

[Takama]

I remember seeing those things in the discovery channal store When Walking with Dinosaurs was out in the USA.

I begged my parents to buy me one, but they wouldent

[Seijun]

Its a cool figure but really awful materials for a toy. Rubber outside with a rubber-foamlike core. The rubber outside is cracked and trying to fall apart., and the pose is maintained by means of a very thick wire armature on the inside that would probably punch through the skin of the toy after too much play. This could be why I never see them on ebay. They all fell apart! The shape of the figure is simple enough, they could easily have just made it a "normal" stuffed toy with the patterns and details printed onto the cloth, and it would have been MUCH more durable (and smelled better).

[Seijun]

Placerias. I don't know the company or year.

[Takama]

the Famous Chinasaur Placerius. one of the best chinasaurs out there

I wonder if it would be elegible for a review someday

[DinoFan45]

Nice suchomimus, and placerias, its really helpful to see the little schliech guy next to them to get a size reference.

(this figure is made of a semi-hard plastic; I also have this para in the same color scheme but in soft rubber)

It's a bit confusing with these original Carnegie colour schemes.
My original Allosaurus was (greyish) blue & brown .

[Seijun]

Pics?
What country or origin?

[Takama]

Envius of those anchaint carnegis. especialy the Para

[postsaurischian]

Pics?
What country or origin?

No pics unfortunately.
I gave my complete Carnegie Collection away in the late 90s. I only kept the Sauropods (phew).

[Seijun]

What country was your allo from?

Carnegie Collection Tyrannosaurus, original color scheme, c. 1988:

"In 1988 I was a proud bi-ped"

[Horridus]

Seeing that thing in any colour other than green doesn't half feel odd...

A nice piece to own of course - very rare!

Carnegie Collection Tyrannosaurus, original color scheme, c. 1988:

"In 1988 I was a proud bi-ped"

You outa make a list of these colors that i never ever knew, existed for these figures.

I am shocked that thing exists

[indy1936]

Seeing these early Carnegies is a real treat! Thank you!

[Gwangi]

I'm also enjoying these old Carnegies. The paint job on them looks much better than on the "other" old Carnegies.
