CollectA Brachiosaurus Deluxe - 50 Foot Tall Giraffe Dinosaur 1:40 Scale #88405

The Towering Giraffe of the Jurassic!

The CollectA Brachiosaurus Deluxe #88405 brings one of the most iconic and beloved dinosaurs to life with exceptional detail. This massive sauropod stood an incredible 50 feet tall—taller than a four-story building!—with front legs longer than its back legs, giving it a distinctive giraffe-like posture perfect for browsing treetops. This deluxe 1:40 scale replica includes Sir Arthur Gauge, a miniature paleontologist figure that provides dramatic scale comparison.

The Arm Lizard - Tallest of the Tall

Brachiosaurus altithorax, meaning "arm lizard," lived approximately 156-145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic Period in what is now North America. Standing 50 feet tall and stretching up to 85 feet long, Brachiosaurus was one of the tallest dinosaurs ever discovered. Unlike most sauropods, Brachiosaurus had front legs longer than its hind legs, creating an upward-sloping back that allowed it to reach vegetation other dinosaurs couldn't access.

Built to Browse the Treetops

Brachiosaurus's unique body plan was perfectly adapted for high browsing. The long front legs and upward-sloping back positioned its long neck at an ideal angle for reaching the tops of tall trees. With its head reaching heights of 40-50 feet, Brachiosaurus could access food sources unavailable to other herbivores, reducing competition and allowing it to thrive in Jurassic forests.

Sir Arthur Gauge Provides Scale

Each CollectA Deluxe model includes Sir Arthur Gauge, a miniature paleontologist figure complete with pickaxe and binoculars. This charming addition allows you to truly appreciate the massive scale of Brachiosaurus—when placed next to the figurine, the sheer size of this gentle giant becomes dramatically apparent. Sir Arthur makes these deluxe models perfect for educational displays and scale comparisons.

A Jurassic Icon

Brachiosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs in popular culture, featured in countless books, movies, and documentaries. Its distinctive appearance—tall, giraffe-like posture with a small head atop an impossibly long neck—makes it instantly identifiable. Brachiosaurus represents the classic image of a sauropod and has captured imaginations for over a century.

Massive Yet Gentle

Despite weighing up to 80 tons—as much as 12 African elephants—Brachiosaurus was a peaceful herbivore that spent its days browsing on conifers, ginkgos, and other Jurassic vegetation. The peg-like teeth were perfect for stripping leaves from branches, which were then swallowed whole and processed in the massive digestive system. Brachiosaurus likely consumed hundreds of pounds of vegetation daily to fuel its enormous body.

Discovered in Colorado

The first Brachiosaurus fossils were discovered in 1900 in Colorado's Grand River Valley (now the Colorado River). The discovery revealed a sauropod unlike any other, with front legs longer than the back legs—a feature so unusual that paleontologist Elmer Riggs created a new genus for it. The name "arm lizard" refers to these distinctive long front limbs.
