Rear Load Beach Bombs - Reproductions

Reproductions

Reproductions were produced by the following:

	Bright Vision (BV) - which made the most accurate reproduction die-casts of the RLBB.
	Mattel - which made similar die-casts but with sealed Rear Side Windows.
	Other parties who used the first two's products to make duplicates of.
	Prior to these, several persons were making individual hand made versions, both from redone Side Loading Beach Bombs and duplicates made from resin.

There are quite a few versions out there. Some real quality and some just junk. Many of the persons making these junk ones are often misrepresenting them to be the better ones. This page is intended to assist in being aware of the differences so that you do not pay top dollar for the junk.
