I'm only aware of one reproduction out there, and the quality is lousy. It's metal instead of the original plastic, and the quality of the paint job isn't very good. Keep an eye on ebay, you can sometimes pick up an NOS one for a decent price.

I got mine off ebay and it's supposed to be a repro but it has the warner bros. on the mouth of the bird which is supposed to be illegal to do. But it is as close to NOS as I've ever seen.
