The Carnegie Collection Psittacosaurus was a relatively short-lived addition to the line, debuting in stores at the end of 1998 and being pulled from production just five years later. As a result, no major variants of this dinosaur exist. It may have been pulled due to the discovery of quill-like feathers on a specimen of Psittacosaurus in 2002. Psittacosaurus was the first 1:10 scale model in the line (the previously retired prehistoric mammals being 1:15 scale).
