The James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger Edition from PLAYMOBIL

The James Bond Aston Martin DB5 Goldfinger Edition from PLAYMOBIL

With the latest James Bond film “No Time To Die” recently hitting cinema screens, PLAYMOBIL and Aston Martin have come together to create the iconic DB5 – Goldfinger Edition, an original gift this Christmas for 007 fans, car enthusiasts, movie buffs or collectors.

If you’re scratching your head thinking about what to buy a big or small kid this Christmas, PLAYMOBIL could have the perfect solution.

Suitable for people aged five years and upwards, the Aston Martin DB5 – Goldfinger Edition, which harks back to the legendary James Bond film released in 1964, and is undoubtedly one of the most iconic movie cars of all time, has been recreated as a “must-have” toy ahead of the festive season, and is a guaranteed licence to thrill.

The authentic replica silver grand tourer, nearly 30 cm in length, is packed full of detail and moving parts to deliver hours of fun for the young and old.

One of this PLAYMOBIL model’s standout features is a functional ejector seat, which is activated by pushing down the exhaust pipes and proceeds to catapult Bond’s adversary upwards through the two-piece roof.

Then there are, of course, some other added extras, such as the triple rotating number plates at the front and rear, the retractable bulletproof screen behind the back window, plus the extendable ramming horns on the bumper. This is not forgetting the retractable machine guns, which are also included by the headlights.

The four characters that come with the Goldfinger set

This highly desirable set equally comes complete with four figurines, namely James Bond himself, Goldfinger, Oddjob and a henchman. To put these characters into some kind of perspective, the Goldfinger story sees Bond come face-to-face with Auric Goldfinger as part of 007’s role on Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

In the movie, Bond’s eccentric adversary is supported by his servant Oddjob and other loyal henchmen, so disrupting their plans was never going to be easy. Luckily, Q supplies Bond with a special, customised Aston Martin DB5 to help him defeat these villains and enjoy a successful mission…
