In 1965 Corgi won the first Toy of the Year Award for their Goldfinger James Bond Aston Martin DB5
The Aston Martin DB5 was also actually mentioned in Ian Fleming’s novel Goldfinger. However, in the novel the car had a few extras like a gun compartment but in the film it featured machine guns, an oil sprayer, tire shredders, rotating number plates, a tracking system and the unforgettable ejector seat.
Corgi released a 50th Anniversary edition of the Goldfinger Aston Martin in 2014 which was a complete sell out and has also become collectable but is not to be confused with the original issue.
