Hello again...this time I would like to share with you my die-cast Harry Potter vehicle collection by Corgi. Corgi is a brand that has been established a long time ago and they usually specialize in making vehicle models from movies and television shows, they have done various James Bond vehicles, The Golden Compass and Thunderbirds to name a few...and they sure didnt disappoint in making these vehicles from the Harry Potter movie franchise...
First up, we got Mr. Weasley's Ford Anglia that appeared in the Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets movie...one particular famous scene was when Harry and Ron were driving or flying it to Hogwarts when they couldnt get pass the platform 9 3/4 barrier...this vehicle comes with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley figures...Among the three vehicles, I like this the most. Corgi made a terrific job on its detailing from the rusting appearing on the paintjob to the detail of Ron's broken wand...although the figures cant be placed in the car itself, I find nothing wrong with this model...The second model that we have is the Knight Bus, the famous triple decker purple coloured bus from the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie...Although the model is so simple, the detailing on it somehow makes it exclusive....you can see parts of the interior of this model, a number of beds can be seen similar to that in the movie...Last but not least is the Hogwart's express...this particular vehicle have appeared in all the movies so far...While I got the Ford Anglia and the Knight bus way back in 2007, only this year Ive got this particular vehicle...one of the main reasons was the quite relatively high price comparing to the two other models always seemed to put me off...but thankfully I was patient and was rewarded with this vehicle at more than half price...It would have been nice for this model to include some of the cabins and not just the steam train and the coal container, but none the less quite satisfied with this vehicle...For those of you who remember the movie, this train always departs on platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station in London. Hehe surprise surprise platform 9 3/4 does actually exist which is like a kind of tourist attraction for Harry Potter fans heheh...
Anyways till next time....happy collecting...:)
