Hot Wheels Walmart James Bond Series - 1963 Aston Martin DB5

Here is the 1963 Aston Martin DB5 that made a re-appearance for the 2012 film Skyfall. Skyfall is one of the few Bond movies that I've seen, and I did enjoy it. The appearance of the classic Aston Martin did seem forced, however, and felt more like an applause line for the audience.

Hot Wheels did a great job on the card art from this.

Hot Wheels has already released this model in the 2014 Mainline series (200/250, item # BFF99), with the same wheels, etc. The only real difference is with the rear tampo.
