HOT WHEELS - The James Bond five car set, HW's have produced probably one of the best sets ever.


The name is Bond, James Bond, 007, Licensed to Kill, and to have some of the most beautiful cars in the world, and it all started with the 1963 Aston Martin DB5, the most iconic movie car ever, nothing beats it, not even the DeLorean from Back to the Future.

Part of every Bond film, you have a certain sections that are a must, you must have the Tuxedo, you must have the gadgets, you must have the Bond girls, you must have a villain and you must have a car that can do all the things that you want you bog standard Ford or Toyota to do.

Sean Connery had the Mustang Mach 1 in Diamonds are forever, you know the one, where the car went on two wheels into a thin pathway, and somehow managed to come out the other end on the other two wheels, Roger Moore had a brace of Lotus Esprit's, one got blown up the other was a submarine in disguise, The black evil looking Lincoln Continental from Goldfinger was the perfect choice of car for the villain from that film, It then brings us nicely to the current Bond, Daniel Craig.

In his first outing as Bond in Casino Royale, he had the awesome Aston Martin DBS, and has had various Aston's both new and classic in each film since, and who is the maker of these cars, well, surprisingly it is Hot Wheels.

Most people would associate Hot Wheels with US cars, with wild and bright paint schemes, low slung modded cars and awful generics, but in the last couple of years, they have been producing some stunning road cars, without the garish paint and silly wheels, this range, is one of a large number they have released and they are all amazing.

It has to be noted that Hot Wheels ALSO has produced the new Aston, the DB10, a bespoke car made just for the latest film, SPECTRE, and that looks perfect, and i really can not wait to get my hands on these, lots of them.

The card graphics are also to be noted in that they are really great, and go well with each film, Hot Wheel, and Mattel, should be applauded for this set, as it is truly one of the best to date..
