Brightvision
Brightvision formed as a company(2001) making unauthorized high quality reproductions of the Rear Loading Beach Bomb.
Mattel eventually sued them for this and Brightvision went out of business.
Brightvision re-emerged years later, under different ownership, and now makes higher quality re-production parts for various Hot Wheels. They nolonger make or sell any Rear Loader reproductions.
The previous reproductions they made are still considered the best and were subsequently copied by others.
