German toy manufacturer Playmobil will be launching a James Bond tie-in product this year to coincide with the release of the 25th film 'No Time To Die'; Playmobil 70578 James Bond Aston Martin DB5 - Goldfinger Edition. The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short-story collections.

The latest novel is Forever and a Day by Anthony Horowitz, published in May 2018. Additionally Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond, and Kate Westbrook wrote three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny.
