At the New York International Toy Fair Corgi showed off its Limited Edition Die-Cast Marvel Figures.  The first four 1/12 scale (approximately 6-inch) figures, which are due to be released this spring, include Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Thing.  The limited edition (2000-3000 pieces) figures will all retail for $60, except for the more massive figure of The Thing, which has an MSRP of $75.

A second group of Marvel figures, which will include Storm, Colossus, Thor, and Dark Phoenix, ships in late summer, with a third quartet of Marvel die-casts slated for the end of the fourth quarter.

In addition to its new line of Marvel figures Corgi is also continuing its line of die-cast cars based on the Batmobiles featured in Batman comic books with seven new vehicles scheduled for 2006 including a third 1960s Batmobile, due out this summer.

In November Corgi will ship its newest James Bond vehicle, an Aston-Martin DBS, which will be featured in the new Casino Royale Bond film, which opens in November.

Corgi is also planning to release a series of resin and die-cast figures based on the Tales of Midnight comic book series by UK artist Francis Lee.  A 12-inch (1/6 scale) Midnight Resin has an MSRP of $85, while 6-inch resins of Midnight and Sarah are $60 each, and six-inch die-cast figures of Sarah and Midnight will be $30 each.
