This is the most iconic figure in the world of James Bond, and is certainly the most recogiseable in film history. This is a car packed with gadgets in true James Bond (or at least, Q) style. Bond puts the car and gadgets to good use in the film Goldfinger, and now Corgi have replicated that in this scale model.

This is a die-cast, 1:36 scale model of the DB5 from the film. As with everything Corgi make, the quality is superb.... well, mostly. The only problem I have is with the ejector seat. The roof is cut out, and hinged at the rear. By pressing a button on the side of the car, the roof flicks up and the spring-loaded seat flies up (but not out of the car). The little man generally flies out though. However, it's not a neat finish, and detracts from the look of the car. But a way around this is to have it in an 'action pose' all the time, with the roof open. Apart from that, the other working features are fine; the battering rams at the front work well, as does the bullet-proof shield for the rear windscreen. But, to be fair, this issue would be avoided in a larger scale model. For a small model, it's acceptable. And with a price tag of aorund the £14 mark (depending where you go), you can't really complain.

However, Corgi have managed faithfully reproduced the orginal car, right down to the correct number plate. This is a great little piece, and a must for Bond fans. Just don't be too picky about the working features.
