Шаблон:More citations needed Шаблон:Infobox company Code 3 Collectibles was an American company based in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles that created customized scale model vehicles. The company was founded by Arnie Rubin,[1] who had previously established Funrise Toy Corporation, owner of Tonka among other brands.[2]
Code 3 was mostly known for its high quality scale model emergency (such as ambulances or police cars) and fire trucks,[3] although the range of products marketed by the company include scale model trucks, and cars. The company was also licensee to produce Star Wars spaceship models.[4]
On April 25, 2007, Matrix Holdings Ltd. entered into a multimillion-dollar agreement with Code 3 Collectibles to purchase the company.[5] On August 19, 2011, Code 3 Collectibles announced that it was stopping all production.[1] The last model released to date is a Seagrave Marauder Aerialscope lettered for FDNY Truck 46.
Concept
The models created by Code 3 Collectibles, were stock models which had been customized or converted from their original state. A few examples of Code 3 Collectibles models plain white cars or vans which have been painted or have had decals added with the livery of a police force such as stripes, force badge/crest, force code etc. Extras such as lightbars and possibly tools have been added as well. Another example would be a plain truck which has been decaled/painted to have the livery parts of a company. Sometimes creating new parts, removing parts, or adding extra parts are done as well to add to the realism of the model.
