I have the originals of all the CMC releases and can compare them. They are hghly accurate reproductions, right down to exact sizing. It's a shame that the "Made in China" embossing on the bases (instead of the "Made in Gt Britain") and the CMC data is on the boxes and there's no Corgi Club membership inserts, otherwise they'd be perfect, but I can understand why CMC has to do this. They really are so nice that I have re-boxedm y originals and only have the flawless CMC versions on display.
This brings back memories my childhood. My father brought it home to me after work back in the 60's. This is AWESOME!
