Which Brachiosaurus (Giraffatitan) figure is better?

I'm having a pretty hard time deciding which figure is better -
The Invicta Brachiosaurus or the 2007 Carnegie Brachiosaurus green repaint?
I really want some pros and cons of each figure and really, an experts opinion of the figures.

When you say green repaint you mean this one?

Yes, I should of probably just said the 2007 version not 'repaint'.

Well, both are outdated but you sure are aware of that. If only to add one of these to my collection I'd personally go for the Invicta, just because I find it more elegant/majestic and not as goofy/funny looking in the face. The Invicta though has cheeks which makes it mouth look rather small. Also on the plus side for me is the monochrome production which adds a lot to its retro charme. 

If you just wanna go for the retro look but nevertheless a quite decent model which was up to date when produced then both are a good choice, however I'd rather recommend the Schleich Replica Brachiosaurus or the even bigger Tamiya Brachiosaurus if you like the model a bit more lifelike.

if you don't mind a JP-esque but very well detailed Brachiosaurus then get the Papo.

Invicta it is then. Thank you Lanthanotus!

The Invicta is a classic that has stood the test of time. One my my all time favorite figures. Love the Carnegie too, and I have it, but it shows its age.
