CARTAMUNDI is one of the world’s leading card manufacturers and this Christmas sees some iconic releases from the company. Cartamundi has held a licence for James Bond for over ten years and will feature as the exclusive supplier of playing cards and poker chips used in the 23rd James Bond instalment, Skyfall. An exclusive range of Skyfall Playing Cards and

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of James Bond, 007 fans can treat themselves to the new Special Edition range of Playing Cards and Poker Sets. The limited edition 007 50th Anniversary Luxury Poker Set (£149.99) comes complete with 500 casino-quality chips, two
commemorative playing card packs with gold gilt-edged cards and a distinctive metal-edged case. It’s suitable as a party pack or a travel accessory. The best Bond moments of the silver screen are encapsulated in the 007 50th Anniversary Playing Cards (£3.99). Images from Bond movies one to
22 are spread across two collectable packs.

THIS AUTUMN sees the strong development of Revell’s remote control and plastic model kit brands, with high profile licences and new land, sea and air releases designed to fill the leisure time of hobbyists and collectors.
R/C brand Revellutions comes ready to run and its chassis is robust, dustproof and water-resistant, making the cars suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Revellutions also has an add-on that makes it more than just a toy: kids can
compete against their mates in an exclusive online 3D driving game using the USB port on the Pistol Grip controller. The most successful plastic model kit worldwide is the Titanic. With the 100th anniversary of its sinking this year, the new detailed 1:700 scale RMS Titanic targets newcomers to plastic model building. Revell’s F1 model kits include the race-winning Vodafone McLaren Mercedes cars driven by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button. Both models are now available individually or as a gift set. Revell’s airplane category features the new Micro Wings model kit range. An ideal pocket money purchase for newcomers to model kit building, they
include legendary RAF and German Air Force aircraft like the Spitfire and Messerschmitt.
Another legend follows later this year in the shape of the original 1960’s Mini Cooper 1:24 scale model kit. Science, nature and education are
rolled into one with Revell’s newer brands: the spectacular Leonardo da Vinci collection introduces two new complex functional wooden models, the 1:24 scale Armoured Car and a 1:16 scale Multi- Barrelled Cannon. Meanwhile, the animal anatomies are explored in glorious detail with the snap together transparent models, X-ray. New additions include the 1:5 scale Dog and 1:16 scale Giraffe.
