Gadgets on models this size seems pretty impressive, and maybe the first DB5 model I can think of to have the screen-accurate side repeaters?
Oh dear, sadly the poster shows Z3 with wrong wheels etc!
Some of those pics look to be just stock photos of cars, drawings or other models, so I wouldn't worry about that too much yet.
Interesting choice of scale

Yeah I think if those prototypes are at all representative, if these make it to production they look to be very faithful to the real cars.
The Daylights Aston would be the one I'd be excited for: we've never had an official model which looks much like the real car.
If the promo graphic is representative it's a pretty good spread of vehicles.

25 models, maybe 8 or so with gadgets (?) that's a decent spread. Let's see if they all make it I guess.
I think they're looking good. I hope the V8 is a very early version as it's got the wrong front splitter and is missing some other elements like the sunroof; the shape looks great otherwise though.
Not their Bond car, but pretty close to identical you'd think.
Launching soon.
We are thrilled to present the first model of the MINI GT 1/64 James Bond model car collection: the iconic Aston Martin DB5 from the James Bond film “Goldfinger.”
2024 marks the 60th anniversary of “Goldfinger.” This model is faithfully reproduced and features the famous gadgets and weapons from the movie.
The packaging will feature movie posters in three languages. The majority of markets will receive the English poster packaging and the poster designs will be offered in French and Japanese in those respective language speaking countries.

James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 appears again, in "Thunderball."
This model is distinguishable from the DB5 in “Goldfinger” by lacking the unique side-mounted indicator lens next to the engine cooling vent on the front fender. This DB5 is displayed in its standard driving configuration with the gadgets cleverly concealed. It will feature special 007 poster packaging. The majority of markets will receive the standard English poster design but it will also be offered in French, Spanish and Japanese poster design for those respective language speaking countries.
