Recommended Sauropod Toys?

My collection only has 3 Sauropods, I really need to up my game.

I have:
- Camarasaurus (The Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd.)
- Apatosaurus (Galaxy/Safari, 'Great Dinos' Collection)
- Brachiosaurus (AAA)

With the exception of really expensive models (e.g Sideshow or Battat's Diplodocus) and resin kits, what models/toys would you suggest? What are your personal Sauropod must-haves?

Here's a few I totally dig:

-Invicta Mamenchisaurus
-Invicta Cetiosaurus
-Papo Brachiosaurus
-PNSO Huanghetitan
-PNSO Euhelopus
-Bullyland Brachiosaurus
-Safari Brachiosaurus (the most recent one)
-Safari Diplodocus (both the previous Carnegie figure and the most recent one)
-Next year's JW Fallen Kingdom Brachiosaurus, most likely

Thanks for the recommendations! Totally forgot that Safari did a Diplodocus last year!

Oh boy, after seeing those promotional silhouettes it looks like I'm gonna need an entirely new shelf just to hold this beast

I'd like to add the following figures to Roselaar's suggestions:

Safari Ltd Apatosaurus (Wild Safari)
Bullyland Europasaurus
Safari Ltd Malawisaurus

And if you're not particular about scale, then I'd also suggest the following:

CollectA Ampelosaurus
CollectA Daxiatitan
CollectA Argentinosaurus
CollectA Alamosaurus
CollectA Diplodocus

Here's a few more that haven't been mentioned:

Papo Apatosaurus
Carnegie Amargasaurus
Battat (Terra) Amargasaurus
Kaiyodo Dinotales Brachiosaurus
Kaiyodo Dinotales Apatosaurus
Kabaya Seismosaurus
PNSO (China Post) Mamenchisaurus
CollectA Brontosaurus (this one is still on my own want list)
Safari Camarasaurus (2019 figure - not yet available)

These ones are in my own collection or on the top of my to-acquire list.

I second a few like the Carnegie and Battat Amargasaurus but there's a few that wasn't mentioned: the Safari Shunosaurus, the old Wild Safari Apatosaurus (the rearing one but unfortunately it's hard to get) and the mini PNSO Ampelosaurus (this will be more easily available than the mini Mamenchosaurus from the China Post and PNSO set).

Papo Brachiosaurus
Schleich 2007 Apatosaurus
Collecta Jobaria
2019 Safari Camarasaurus

My problem with most sauropod models is that they are too small.

There's also the Tamiya Brachiosaurus, it's a large kit that's pretty inexpensive (assuming you're looking for model kits).

HLJ usually restocks in a few weeks, I had mine shipped 2 or 3 weeks after placing the backorder.  You can also check with Brett if HLJ's not the route you want to go.

You mean this one?   O:-)

Sauropods are my favorite herbivores, and I'm pretty picky about them. The only ones I would recommend would be:

Papo Apatosaurus
Upcoming Safari LTD Camarasaurus (will be an insta-purchase)
Upcoming PNSO Amargasaurus (will be an insta-purchase)

The Papo Brachiosaurus is a nice figure as well, but really is not a Brachiosaurus.

Shonisaurus

Good sauropod toys for example:

The Bullyland brachiosaurus latest edition.

The malawisaurus of Safari.

The brontosaurus of Collecta.

The Carnegie mamenchisaurus (dinosaurs of China).

The Diplodocus of Battat.

The already named Bullyland apatosaurus.

The PNSO mamenchisaurus is a masterpiece.

The brachisaurus of Favorite Soft Model first and second version.
