Corgi preview
A first look at the new Corgi models for March-June 2012
T
his month we’re bringing
you a very first look at the
new models featured in the
supplementary catalogue
Corgi will be issuing for the period
of April-June 2012. (Falling into step
with the rest of the Hornby ranges,
future Corgi catalogues will be issued
twice yearly, introducing releases for
January-June and July-December.)
Amongst the issues for this interim
period however, there’s still plenty
to showcase, with two entirely new
ranges being introduced: a film/
TV/licensed series – in which we’re
delighted to see an Ashes to Ashes
quattro, and a intermediary aviation
collection under the Flight branding
to bridge the gap (in both detail/build
quality and price) between the very
basic entry level Showcase aircraft and
the highly detailed Aviation Archive
models for the serious collector).
We can also reveal that Corgi
will be introducing new and more
uniform packaging designs for each
of its collectable, toy and souvenir
ranges in 2012, making them
instantly more recognisable on the
shop shelf. We’ll bring you more
on this in a future issue.
We’re focusing here on the new
and modified tooling, new liveries
and special editions, as although
the catalogue will also include
some carried over items (previously
announced but unfortunately delayed
due to production problems in China)
these have already been illustrated in
MC during 2011. We are however,
providing you with an update on the
NB4L, as we originally were only able
to show you a very early mock-up, and
a much closer to the finished product
sample has now been made available
for photography and inclusion here.
The models shown in this special
preview feature are all pre-production
samples, so slight modifications may
still be made to some of them before
they actually go on sale. We will of
course be reviewing the finished
products as they become available
in 2012, and we look forward, as
always, to hearing your comments
on the new line-up. MC
