The shoulder height seems well below that pictured above.

Aw man it looks so small!!!! 

I may just stick with my WS from 2010 if its that size indeed.  What's the difference really?

Kind of blows that they didn't make him at least the same size as the old Carnegie Brachio.  The new Carnegie Diplo is 1:40 and the new Brachio seems like it will be small next to him.  Its great to be able to compare sauropod sizes when in the same scale.  Why did they make this change? I can kind of see making smaller creatures larger. But shrinking down the majestic Brachio to be a midget seems lame. He should tower over the other guys!

I'm reserving judgment on the new Brachio still it's in-hand.  If the size is indeed close enough it will cool to repaint one to match the other.

Same here, although when does it get released? July, right? That may be a little late, because I was planning on buying a Bob Morales 1/35 Brachiosaurus off ebay if the Carnegie Brachio is too small, and Bob says his will be a limited release. I'd rather it be too big to go with my 1/40 dinos than too small.

I had heard April, now May I think. If the deadline starts getting down to the wire then I would just spring for the Morales one.

The fact that the Carnegie is the market leader in dino toy in my opinion this is even more serious this diminution of scale

Neovenator - Deluxe 1:40 scale JAN

So, where in the UK would I be able to get the CollectA Neovenator, and how much does it cost?

Safari lists the scale of both the old and new Brachi as 1:50 .

I think a lot has to do with the neck position being so low..it's kind of hard to tell..hopefully if the neck was arched up it would be just as tall as the old one.

Time to stir up something just because I can....
I have noticed something in the poster on the Carnegie collection display,the dinosaurs depicted in the artwork shows Tyrannosaurus,Oviraptor,Ankylosaurus,and Brachiosaurus(as in B.altithorax) which are in or will be very soon in the line.It also shows two that are not,Edmontosaurus and Pentaceratops.Could this be a sign of things to come perhaps?

Not sure what you can take from that art work other than the colors of the new Brachio and pose are being used and similar.

Some of those shown have been made..but aren't  alike in  colors or even pose and detail-wise. Edmontosaurus is in the WS line as well..but a 1/40 could be cool..and Pentaceratops would be pretty neat as well.

Well, one would hope. That would be a pretty cool lineup, yes?
Just ordered this Brachi puppy, hope it realy is available and will be arriving on my doorstep very soon!

[Meso-Cenozoic]

Hmm, I wondered a bit too about those other dinos when I first saw that poster way back when. Were their designs just made simply for the poster? I mean, next year is their big 25th anniversary. Might some of them be some clues to what we might expect? There was some conjecture about redoing some of their older figures for their 25th. Could we possibly see a blue-toned, closed-mouth T.rex??? And for a new figure, I would LOVE a Pentaceratops that looks like that!

Concerning the 2012 Carnegie Brachi's release date, I was told by Dean @ DeJankins that he is expecting his first shipment of them around mid-May. And as far as his size, he looks like he'd be best suited to pose alongside the WS figures, rather than the larger Carnegie dinos. Either way, he's just too 'purdy' a sculpt to pass up!

[Krissy]

Darn, I guess I'm going to have to pass on the new Carnegie Brachi then. Shame, he looked so good.

[Horridus]

I'm a bit disappointed that it's not bigger, but it's still a really well-made figure by the look of it. It will compliment the Wild Safari nicely, and I already have brachiosaurs of varying sizes anyway (from the monster old-school Carnegie down to Dinotales...!)

Maybe I have not explained well. What I meant was just that being the market leader in the market should try to better respond to the demands of collectors. In your opinion how many collectors would buy more if it was the brachiosaurus scale of 1:40? I believe many. So I think it's a missed opportunity!
Anyway, thanks for your answer.

It could be nothing more than just a poster they decided to use,but I remember a long time ago (in 1991) there being a dinosaur poster released that showed all the dinosaurs and prehistoric animals that were in the Carnegie line at the time,plus two that were not,Iguanodon and Spinosaurus.They would turn out to be the two releases the following year.

[Horridus]

Safari might claim that the old "Brachiosaurus" is 1:50 scale, but it's definitely 1:40. It towers over even the Bullyland and Invicta that are around 1:45 scale. If the new one is 1:50, I would expect it to be markedly smaller. Not that it bothers me too much, as I said...

I agree. I don't think Safari has always been the best with determining their dinosaur scales. The new one definitely appears smaller than the old. I have their catalogs going back quite a few years. The old Brachiosaurus (2nd mold) has been listed by them over the years as all of the following: 1:40, 1:80, 1:50.

[ZoPteryx]

Shame about the Carnegie Brachiosaurus being so small, it looks like its shoulder height is about the same as their Camarasaurus.

[postsaurischian]

....... lookie what I found on Shapeways.



This particular one is 1/35 scale, but it costs about $130 >_<

He's gorgeous, I want hiiiiiiim

I must say - I like it . And it really seems to be in 1:36, unfortunately even a bit more expensive, about $160 .

But there's also a 1:100 version and an ultra mini of 1.3 inches length .

Here it happened again . My order of the 1:100 version was cancelled (thin walls: < 0.7 mm).
