Sixteen 12 Collectibles Limited (also Product Enterprise Limited/ Iconic Replicas) (UK)

Product Enterprise Eagle in display box

Die-cast Eagles

Prop replica Eagles

Product Enterprise Limited was the original name of the company (1998-2007). From March 2007 it was renamed Iconic Replicas Limited, although the original name remains on website and packaging. From October 2008 Iconic Replicas was dissolved and assets transferred to Sixteen 12 Collectibles. Although a different company (not a name change), Sixteen 12 Collectibles has the same address and staff as Iconic Replicas as well as the same stock.

The original die-cast 12inch Eagles were highly regarded, but are mostly not out of production. The emphasis has shifted to expensive "prop replicas" such as the 23 inch Eagles for collectors. The prop replicas have a poor reputation for quality.
