Is this an incredible Bond collectible?...You bet your ass it is -{
Is this a prop replica?..Donkey is not so sure, in fact I do not think it knows what it is? The miniature in Skyfall was a chassis mounted on a plinth with the panels mounted on said chassis much as a on real DB5. The gadgets/Browning barrels were fixed. There was no bullet proof shield & the ejector seat roof panel was simulated & as we now know the seats were composed of effectively foam filled rubber which is 100% fine for a film prop but for a £33,600.00 collectible I'm not so sure. I would have expected a leather trimmed interior or at the very least leather cloth! The additional Goldfinger gadgets & the lack of engine under the bonnet/hood to me have removed the prop replica tag from this incredible display piece. Perhaps I would feel differently if they had also automated the front & rear over riders & rear tyre slashers?....the ultimate ultimate Corgi 270
The incredible 1/3 scale DB5 miniature created by Propshop for Skyfall
Only just got word that Prop Shop went under -- a shock to those within the industry -- but also having never finished the 100 DB5s.
Unknown -- to me, anyway -- how many were actually produced.
To the best of my knowledge, I still have the only one in the US.

Word is, that someone else is going to be making them again. But static models. They will have the gadgets, but won’t be remotely operated.
