Invicta ( BMNH) collection

The original scale model collection that set the standards that later toy manufacturers followed. Released in conjunction with the British Museum Of Natural History, the original figures line was a 1/45 scale and unpainted. Some species released later became standard like the Baryonx, but others like the Cetiosaurus, Megalosaurus, Muttaburrasaurus are still, as far as I know, only found in the series. Invicta, perhaps to compete with the emerging Safari line, release the same figures as a painted set. The painted versions are hard to find since it was only released for a short time. The paint is fragile, hard to find one that is without scratch/missing paint. My collection is 100% complete. The Troodon (Stenonychosaurus) is not at the same scale as the other dinosaurs, the figure was discontinued from production due to some copy right issues making it highly sought after and commanding Top $$$. The original unpainted figures were release in the 1970's. As far as I know, the entire line is now extinct. You can still find them on ebay at a reasonable cost.
