Corgi, one of the dominant brands in die-cast scale models, has
signed a license agreement to produce exclusive die-cast replicas
featuring Wallace & Gromit, the legendary British clay
characters and stars of the new film "The Curse of the
Were-Rabbit." The three-year deal covers distribution of
collectibles for the franchise in the U.S., UK and Ireland. Corgi
Classics is a subsidiary of Zindart Limited (NASDAQ:ZNDT). "The
Curse of the Were-Rabbit" features oddball inventor Wallace and his
canny dog Gromit out to discover the mystery behind the garden
sabotage that plagues their village and threatens the annual giant
vegetable growing contest. Corgi will be releasing a die-cast
replica model of the Anti Pesto van used by the intrepid duo to
battle the invaders together with Wallace and Gromit figures in
S.W.A.T outfits and a model of Gromit's newest invention -- the
Bun-vac. "Corgi is very excited to be associated with a movie and a
franchise that enjoys such a massive brand following," Corgi
Marketing Director David Wootliff said. "We're looking forward to
seeing all the new adventures of Wallace & Gromit." For more
