PLAYMOBIL JAMES BOND 007 ASTON MARTIN D.B.5 - GOLDFINGER EDITION...

Well that sure didn't take long.  Ordered on Friday evening, delivered early this afternoon, yet another incarnation of the James Bond Aston Martin D.B.5., this one by Playmobil.  No point me wittering on about it when I can simply show you some photos taken with my own trusty camera.  Perhaps I should just point out that although it's got various features, only the ejector seat is operated by a lever (the exhaust - on the correct side, unlike the Corgi Toys version) at the back.  The bulletproof shield, machine guns, front and rear overriders, and four tyre-slashers are 'operated' by pulling them out manually, or in the case of the number plates, revolving them.  Love it to bits, though I'd say 007 definitely needs a haircut.  (And thanks to reader and commenter Monty for the heads up about this wonderful toy, which first came out in 2021.)


So what do you think of it, Crivs?  Is it the kind of thing you'd have if you were a great big wean like me?  Never mind with answers on a postcard, save yourself the price of a stamp and say what you think in our ever-hungry comments section.  Fame, hordes of beautiful, screaming, adoring females, and untold riches are likely to be yours if you do.  (You think I'd kid about a thing like that?)  The car is approximately 10 inches long and is as light as a feather - a joy to gaze upon.

    No James Bond fans out there, huh?

    Only just saw this, it's fantastic! A fun little toy but classy at the same time. I like the little gold bars which I don't think I saw on the Amazon page. The characters are great as well. Glad you like it, glad to be of service. 😊

      It's a great addition to my collection of D.B.5s, M, so thanks again for bringing it to my attention. The only problem is that the box is glued shut in such a way that it's difficult to open without inflicting some damage (to the box), but I managed to sort it.
