Bond Collection Hearse
Saw this at a toy fair in UK today. The seller wanted three times the partwork cover price so I passed BUT it is a large and imposing model and at the 7.99GBP I hope to get it for as a back order it is superb value. Obviously couldn't get it out of Box but it looked really good for a budget model from a dfew feet away.

Bond Hearse
Maz, any idea who makes these? Does anyone? They may become available under the makers real name.

Bond Hearse may be made by
Universal Hobbies. They have many Bond movie cars. Pete I'm still waiting for you to send a list that might have some parts I need.

All 007 series cars are made by Universal Hobbies
And none of them ever came out as a regular edition. In fact, most of these cars have some very specific features in relation to the movie, so it will require a lot of modifications. Fixed open trunks, fixed angled wheels, passengers, body dents, sticking guns and rocket launchers...

Universal Hobbies
I wonder about the connections between Universal Hobbies and IXO. The Bond Peugeot 504 is so close to the IXO taxi range I couldn't see any significant differences.
I agree though that most of the models are not re-released and many have "extras" that detract from their general collection.
The hearse though is straight no bullet holes or anything like that just a large and imposing model which will be on ebay soon at heavily inflated prices.
I think that a few of these models may come out later once James Bond series is over but I wouldn't bet on it.

No sorry
I have seen one at a toy fair in its box from 6 feet away. I intend to get one as soon as they are available on back order from the magazine publisher and will then show and tell if no-one else has done by then
