Although the name "Corgi Toys" was not introduced until 1955, the roots of the original holding company, Mettoy, go back to 1932 when a German toymaker called Philipp Ullmann arrived in Britain to form a new toy manufacturing company. This company produced many types of toys, both before and after the Second World War, mainly in tinplate. In the 1950s Mettoy began to produce diecast metal toys and hence, in 1956 the first Corgi Toys were released to the children's toy market and proved an immediate success. Over the next 30 years hundreds of miniature vehicles would be modeled on contemporary vehicles such as Vauxhalls, Rileys, Hillmans, Standards, Commers and ERFs. Corgi also made daring and successful ventures into film-and-TV related toys with their versions of James Bond, The Saint and Batmobile cars selling millions. Life-long collector David Cooke explores the history of Corgi Toys, describing the various models and illustrating how these simple children's toys became valuable collectables. He also charts the recent financial problems faced by the company, and their resurgence based upon Limited Edition collectors' models sold direct to an adult market.

Since the dawn of children's television in the 1950s, toy companies have been keen to capitalise on the success of these programmes. Toy historian and collector Anthony A. McGoldrick here charts the history of the most successful TV toys from Muffin the Mule in the 1950s to Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 1980s. The colourful illustrations – whether of Daleks, iconic cars, action figures or spaceships – evoke the excitement of the programmes and also of playing with the toys that allowed children to recreate them. Whether you grew up in the days of Andy Pandy, The Saint, Kojak or Knight Rider, this book offers a nostalgic look at some of the most appealing toys of the late twentieth century.

Daniel Craig contributed the foreword to this deluxe book that – in words and stunning photos – tells the history of 007’s Aston Martin DB5. James Bond first took the wheel of the DB5 in Goldfinger (1963), redefining the action movie forever, and setting a standard for everything that followed. Over the ensuing decades, the Bond-Aston Martin association has only grown stronger. They’re the perfect match: understated, stylish, powerful, and not to be underestimated. This book spans that… bond, starting in 1963, when the DB5 was brand-new, to the upcoming 25th Bond film, No Time to Die, with the DB5 again taking center stage. EON and Aston Martin provided author Simon Hugo unprecedented access to their official archives, enabling Hugo to present the DB5’s inside story and complement it with original production artwork, film storyboards, and exclusive photography. This deluxe coffee-table book measures 11”x12 ½” and is packed with full-page, high-quality photographs, including multiple shots illustrating the DB5’s appearance in No Time to Die, making it the ideal gift for James Bond fans.
