Then again, the dinosaurs in the films are vastly oversized in many cases (such as Velociraptor...who is closer in size and appearance to Dinonychus in the film as opposed to being turkey-sized like the actual dino) so it wouldn't be a stretch to use it for that scale.

The Collossal T-Rex is about the same size relative to the average 6" figure as the original 1993 Kenner "Red Rex" is to its respective humans, though.

Yeah, they've made several very nice 1/18th-scale Tyrannosauruses. Some of their other dinosaurs, most notably the Triceratops, ended up being a little underscaled (on the other hand, the Protoceratops released in the carded range of small 1/18th-scale dinos is actually closer to 1/12th, being nearly the same size as the 1/18th Raptors).
