[Concavenator]

I voted:
Carnegie
Papo
Wild Safari
CollectA.

I don't think Carnegie dinosaurs look realistic,just very accurate (in some models,I mean  ,but not life-like.They look like cool interpretations to me.

I really love Papo dinosaurs a lot.The exquisite detail,the amazing paintjob...While they know their dinosaurs are sometimes used by small children (whose sometimes doesn't care very well the model)they do put lots and lots of detail,and a great paintjob,so they gain people's love (collector's love mainly),while Schleich know their products are being used for common play and they release goofy looking abominations 
They are my personal favorite brand,and the most life-like ones.

I see Wild Safari as (usually)estatic representations of relatively obscure dinosaurs,though they must avoid clown feet .

I see CollectA as very creative,unusual representations of dinosaurs.They also release some very unusual and obscure creature,which I congratulate them of.
These are my opinions 

[tyrantqueen]

As of 2013, my top favourites are:

1. Kaiyodo
2. Papo
3. Carnegie

It was tough to choose between Papo and Carnegie (I like them both) but Carnegie has been slow to update their old models (and honestly, some of them are pretty bad) so I think that kind of stops me from liking the line more.

And my less (but still liked) favourites are:

4. Favorite Ltd
5. Battat

Favorite are really good, although some of the sculpts I don't like. And I like that they incorporated stands in their bipedal models.
I liked some of Battats sculpts (such as their incredible Diplodocus and Tyrannosaurus) but I do not like others (such as the Stegosaurus and Dilophosaurus)

If Mojo's dinosaurs turn out to be really something, maybe they'll make my list one day

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

For me, Papo, Wild Safari, and Carnegie carried the day.

1st. Papo
2nd. CollectA
3rd. Schleich (don't hate me for this, I know a lot of their models are 'inaccurate' and some are downright awful, like the old T Rexes but their newer stuff, I actually think are cool)

I personally don't see all the fuss about Invicta. I actually really don't like them. At all. I know I'm gonna get people saying how important they are to the model dinosaur world, but to me they look like cheap, un-detailed, ugly Chinasaurs. I just don't like the sculpting style nor the fact they look so plain. Overall they're just overrated. Sorry if this offends anyone, it's just my opinion.

You have to take them in context with their time. By today's standard they don't hold up as well but these things were modeled in the 1970's. At the time and up until Carnegie started releasing their line these were the only scale model toy dinosaurs available. And they were the most accurate too. Up until then the best dinosaurs you could find were toys like those by Marx. The Invicta line revolutionized the dinosaur toy world. I understand why a lot of people "don't get it" but for a lot of us the Invicta line is not only nostalgic but also of historical value where dinosaur toys are concerned. Also, have you seen some of their models? Check out the level of detail on their Triceratops. I can't agree with you that they're un-detailed.

Aliciaraptor: Please let me know where you are seeing chinasaurs that look like this: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7223/6903887810_edb22f2a46_b.jpg 

[tyrantqueen]

I personally don't like Invicta that much either...but they definitely don't deserve to be compared to chinasaurs.

[Zhuchengotyrant]

I picked all, but for other: Shapeways
Does that count?

No, it doesn't. Shapeways models are not toys (with the exception of those that are specifically stated to be so, such as David Krentz's Chubbies)

[Jetoar]

Invicta has a personal place in my heart because they were the toys of my chilhood. Currently I think that their Liopleurodon is one of the best  .

[Concavenator]

Now : 
1.Carnegie
2.Papo
3.Wild Safari
4.CollectA

[Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus]

I removed my vote for Carnegie and replaced it with CollectA. Carnegie is great, but I'm too disappointed with this year's offering. CollectA, on the other hand, has an impressive and quality lineup this year and has shown drastic improvement.

[Vladozaur]

my  favourite   toy  companies  are    collecta,Schleich  ,SAfari ltd and  carnagie

[Zhuchengotyrant]

I do not like Papo. I don't know why, I just don't

[Hynerpeton]

Most or all of the major companies. I have some small figures. But its ok.

[EmperorDinobot]

Not Papo.

[stargatedalek]

Kaiyodo, Colorata, Safari ltd, and Scleich <hahaha nope

[Ultimatedinoking]

Kenner, best jp Dinos.

Papo, if it wasn't only found at the hospital!

[Takama]

Well My tastes had changed since this Poll was first made in 2012.

Back then, I never ever thought I would ever get my hands on a Battat Dinosaur, so I never even tried to collect them because they were rare and expensive.  Now that there back, and easily available at a store that I shop at, they are my favorite company

My next favorite is Geoworld (Yes really)

my third is CollectA
