They were produced by Florida-based company Safari Ltd., known for their hand-painted replicas, from 1988 to 2015, and became known as "the world’s premier line of scale model dinosaur figures.
"[1] 65 models representing 53 species of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals were produced for the line.
Each model was sculpted by artist Forest Rogers and authenticated by paleontologists associated with the Carnegie Museum, such as Matt Lamanna, as well as various species-specific experts.
The models feature an informational hang tag providing scientific details about the animal represented by the replica.
The display featured multiple tiers upon which the pieces in the collection could be placed in a variety of creative ways.
[4] Production of the Carnegie Collection began in 1988, when Forest Rogers was first contracted to sculpt the models.
