Only a year after the introduction of the 1:10 scale Psittacosaurus, the Carnegie Collection indruduced yet another scale in the form of the 1:20 scale Tanystropheus. This is also the first and only Carnegie with an "action feature" - a posable neck. Like old Gumbie or Bend-Ems toys, a metal wire inserted into the soft plastic, which is perforated by paired holes on the underside, allow the neck to be bent into a variety of positions. The original Tanystropheus toy was brightly colored with vivid blues and greens reminiscent of a tree snake.

Along with many other models as part of a line refresh, the Carnegie Tanystropheus was given an all-new color scheme in 2007, though the sculpt appears to have remained the same.
