Big announcement from PCT (makers of Ixo, Premium X, etc.)

Following the success of the Atlas replicas of old Dinky Toys, and Corgi Club's reissues of old Corgi Toys, PCT Collectibles has announced a range of replicas of early Brooklins. These will be diecast/plastic and follow the shapes of early "chunky" Brooklins. PCT considered using pad-printing to bring out chrome details so often lacking in the decades old castings, but nixed the idea because they would lose the charm" factor if they were made to look accurate. 

Upon hearing the news, Brooklin/SMTS owner Nicola Bulgari threatened to sue. But PCT responded "Go ahead and try - nobody has successfully sued a Chinese company for intellectual property theft. Pound sand." PCT will not start with Brooklin No. 1, the 1933 Pierce Silver Arrow, because "there are too many of our own more-accurate versions out there already. Besides, how many collectors today have heard of Pierce Arrow?" Rumored to be first is the Chrysler Airflow, and initial sales will be in Russia, since sanctions against war-crimes leader Putin have left collectors there starved for new product. PCT will make the models at PCT's factory in Bangladesh, where labor costs are about nine cents/hour.
