One big catch when one's building a top-secret vehicle for James Bond: merchandising. UK website Pocket-lint somehow managed to face time with what's apparently toymaker Corgi's prototype of the new Aston-Martin DBS toy scheduled to be released in October to coincide with the film. Hey Ulrich: still love the dogs? [Thanks to Punkey for the tip.]

P.S. We totally miss our missile-firing Corgi Lotus Esprit that we got at the MGM Grand in Reno all those years ago. We also had a General Lee big wheel at the time. Why are we suddenly getting the impression we were cooler at the age of six than we are now?
