Pictures of NCS Corgi diecasts

[Father Unwin]

Hello Yorkie,

Unfortunately, the catalogue doesn't mention model dimensions. You may be able to read details of each model from my photos if they are published.

However, the writing is unbold blue on a pale blue background so it may not be that easy!

CC96302 - Rhino
Detailed die-cast replica
Extending rear and front battering rams
Concealed front weaponry
Opening side door revealing fixed Captain Scarlet
AGE: 3+ Years

BARCODE: 807903963025

Here are the details for the Cheetah:

Pressure activated side wings and rear spoiler

And here we are finally - photos -

The website I found these on was

I think I may pre-order these - anyone know of a good online place? I will continue to look for the best prices.

Better pictures than those I put online a couple of weeks back :

By the way, I'd like to thank you, Shadokp, Father Unwin and Shaqui as well, for providing pics of merchandises and other various stuff!

I might have forgotten other people who did send me material for the new site - so if I did, my thanks to you too. And my sincerest apologies to have forgotten you.

I'm still open for any new stuff and information you might come along.

Chris

PS: I just received the books I ordered from Amazon.co.uk - some of them don't have any pictures shown anywhere online, so I'll soon scan them to put the pics online!

Thanks for the cool pictures. I've ordered mine from Comet Miniatures though the small toy stores that stock Corgi diecasts for collectors also get them. That's where I got the Corgi TB2 last Christmas. The bigger stores - Toys R Us, ToyWorld etc don't seem to stock Corgi.

Interesting that the Carinabox website lists them all at 1/43rd scale. That can't be right, particularly for the Angel and Falcon as they're only £9.99 each.

The 1/43rd Corgi Batmobiles are £4.99 each and about 4 to 4 and a half inches long, the larger 1/24 1960s version is £14.99 and about 8 and a half inches long.

Given that the SPV and Rhino have working parts which adds to the cost I expect the models will be about the same size as the original Dinky toys, perhaps 5 or 6 inches long. A little larger would be nice, but I'm delighted they're on their way!

Beautiful pictures, Shadokp!
I will certainly be going for the Rhino, SPV and Cheetah but I want them all in separate boxes rather than having the Rhino/SPV combination.

[shadokp]

I noted that the Spectrum logo on the Rhino looks wrong but the picture of it in the box looks more accurate. I will probably get the NCS vehicles only as I already have different versions of the Original CS stuff.

I know this is some way off topic and I apologise if this Corgi model has been mentioned elsewhere in another thread but take a look at this! I know Gerry Anderson didn't create this version, and it is expensive, but look at the detailed pictures - FAB!

The Corgi Rhino, SPV, SSC and Cheetah releases have been put back another month to the end of March. I suppose they want to release them when the TV series is shown on ITV4. Angel and Falcon still due in June so far.

Here is a photo of the Scarlet Corgis and their boxes

Corgi had a stand at Memorabilia yesterday and were showing (and selling) the SSC/Cheetah and the SPV/Rhino sets. They're very smart in the metal. Even better, they had models of the Angel and Falcon Interceptors on show. These were really really nice and had clear cockpits rather than painted versions. Product Enterprise have got their work cut out with these two.

[yorkie]

Didn't you buy any? The Rhino, Cheetah, SPV and SSC should be in the shops at the end of this week. Fingers crossed, reviews next week.

Hi, was at Memorabilia, purchased the SSC and Cheetah. They`re superb, contour is bang on, both have interior detail and a Scarlet figure driving, and the paint job is lovely. If I was being picky I`m a little disappointed by the decals - the Gold `S` is way to bright and reflective, but overall these are stunning.
Passed on the SPV/Rhino. The Rhino is gorgeous but the SPV is disappointing. It looks like it was cast off the old 5" Imai kit, and so contour is not great. Also the blue is way too bright.
The angels were gorgeous too.....

From the pictures in the forum here the Rhino, Cheetah and SSC look very good. I'll buy a couple of each. Must also buy about 5 Falcons when they come out in June, even if they all have "Destiny" on the fuselage! Mmm, perhaps limited editions with other Angels names on in future?

How big are the models?

[21st Century Boy]

Hi, the SSC and Cheetah are about 5 inches long. The SPV looked a similar size, but theRhino was impressively big and chunky, probably 6 inches.
