Though this model was advertised as 1:30 scale, it is closer to 1:25 scale unless you assume an unusually large individual. The Wild Safari Woolly Mammoth which was released the following year is closer to 1:40 or 1:45 scale. Ironically, the 2007 release of the Carnegie Woolly Mammoth erroneously included a photo of the Wild Safari version on its tag! As you can see in the photo below, later releases fixed this issue.

This model was in production through 2015, but did not receive any updates to its mold or paint scheme, so the only available variants are the different tag styles.
