Corgi Celebrates 007 Million Record
8th November 2007
Earlier this year Corgi International presented
executives at EON Productions with a unique one-of-a-kind
Corgi presentation plaque to commemorate record breaking
sales exceeding 7 million units of their iconic Aston Martin
DB5 die-cast model (pictured opposite & below).
Since the initial launch of model #261 in 1965 the Corgi
DB5 has undergone some refinements and has seen several incarnations,
but still remains popular with fans of all ages and can still
be found in stores across the globe. |

Corgi International has enjoyed a unique Partnership with EON
Productions and the James Bond Franchise, for over 40 years,
one of the longest
running licensing relationships in toy history.
Bringing things
right up to date Corgi recently signed a new Worldwide Master
Toy and Collectible license with EON. The agreement
runs through 2010 and includes the James Bond classic movie archive,
the as yet untitled James Bond Film #22 due for release in
2008, and any other movies released during its term.
