Corgi Diecast Model Cars - RT26101S James Bond Aston Martin DB5 - Iconic 007 Collectible Car Model for Men & Women - Small Die Cast Toy Models for Boys, Gift for Motor Enthusiasts

Great little model of an iconic car. DB5 was British car making at its best.

Corgi have been hitting it out of the park in the last few years with these recreations of their most popular licenced properties. The Bond Aston Martin was a staple in kids' toyboxes throughout the late 60's into the 80's, It's not exactly the same as the original, and sadly no longer made in the UK, but it's almost spot-on as an affordable alternative for those who want a piece of childhood nostalgia and can't afford a decent example of an original.A few things to note: This is not the later version with the rotating number plate, but the original which did not have that feature. I've seen it stated that it's 1:43 scale, but that seems way off to me; it's slightly smaller than the Batmobile in terms of scale, and much smaller than the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang reissue, and both of those are also claimed to be 1:43 in some places. As best as I can tell this is closer to 1:46 to 1:50. Chitty is closer to 1:36 or 1:38, and the Batmobile is about 1:43 to 1:46 (those are very rough estimates). This explains why some people say it's a little smaller than they remember it (also, a later Corgi version released back in the day was a bigger scale).The final thing to note is: Some people say their car didn't come with the ejectable extra figure - it's worth mentioning that the plinth that this car stands on opens at the side, and inside is white envelope with instructions, a reproduction sticker, and the little extra character. It's possible some people are just opening the box, taking out the car, and seeing that it's missing the extra figure without noticing the envelope, so I add that info here just in case.

Great nostalgic item.brought back Great memories 👌

Nice model. Got it as it was something I would have liked when I was youngBut never had.

Good quality but size disappointingAnd doors do not open

Very disappointed it’s tiny and no second person.. bought to compliment my James Bond collection which yet again little Nell arrived with the propeller assembly completely detached do corgi actually care about premium buyers and collectors !

Not as good as the original but a fair attempt.

I bought this as a present for my 9 years old, autistic honorary nephew, as a reward for Don my w will in his school tests.To say his face lit up is an understatement: he adores it!I knew already that it is a brilliant toy car as I remember when Corgi first released this model in the early 1960s. It is every child's dream: a working ejector seat which sends aSMERSH agent flying; rising number plates; rockets, & a rear window bullet proof shield! Not fidgeting Bond himself at the wheel.Highly recommended by this 68 years old kid!
