Point taken, but I challenge anyone to try and make a diecast collectible of a Cobra, leave off the emblems and any references to Shelby, don't pay any royalties to anyone, and see what happens.

What's really screwed up though, is that not only would you get sued by Shelby's licensing group, but you'd probably get sued by FFR, SPF, and every other replica company who sells a car that looks like a Cobra but leaves off the emblems, and most likely lose to all of them as well.
