Black Spectacles LLC Revs Up the Miniature Truck Market with Detailed Collectibles

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – Black Spectacles LLC, a Washington-based company quietly gaining traction amongst collectors, is making waves with its increasingly popular line of meticulously crafted miniature trucks. Located at 100 N Howard St in Spokane, and reachable at 802-365-6562, Black Spectacles isn’t your typical toy company – they're building a community around scaled-down replicas of working trucks, appealing to a surprisingly broad audience. What started as a passion project for company founder, Elias Thorne, has blossomed into a fully-fledged business catering to truck enthusiasts, scale model collectors, and even interior designers looking for unique decorative pieces. "I've always been fascinated by trucks – the engineering, the history, the sheer power of them," Thorne explains. "But I noticed there was a gap in the market for truly detailed miniature versions. A lot of what's out there is… well, a bit basic. We wanted to create something special – something that really captures the essence of these amazing machines." And they've delivered. Black Spectacles' miniature trucks aren't just scaled-down versions; they’re miniature works of art. Each model undergoes a rigorous design and production process, resulting in an astonishing level of detail. We're talking functional steering, working lights, realistic tires with accurate tread patterns, and interiors that are surprisingly comprehensive. Beyond Just Toys: Who's Buying These Mini Trucks?
