Here's a sneak peek at what's going to be featured at the 2005 American Int'l Toy Fair:

Heroes Under Fire

Corgi's Heroes Under Fire line celebrates the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Finely detailed, authentically rendered and loaded with amazing accessories, Heroes Under Fire is considered the most respected line of emergency vehicle replicas, with each new release eagerly awaited by a legion of fans.

For 2005, Heroes Under Fire focuses on the equipment that helps firefighters handle the most dangerous of situations - backcountry wildfires:

The Florida Division of Forestry Cobra Helicopter

In the swamps and woodlands of Florida, it's the nimble Cobra that helps battle spreading blazes. The Corgi replica of this workhorse (SKU #US51206) is rendered in 1:48 scale, a full 11" long. Each replica features moving rotors, detailed interior and much more. Suggested retail price: $47.99. For ages 14 & up.

New Jersey Forest Fire Service M35 2.5 Ton Brush Truck

Even the thickest brush is no match for this powerhouse vehicle. When fire strikes the New Jersey wilderness, it's the M35 that blasts its way through, allowing firefighters to get right to the source of the blaze. The Corgi replica (SKU # US50207), in 1:50 scale, features authentic markings, lots of details and the brush truck's signature front end cage Suggested retail price: $36.99 For ages 14 & up.

Vintage Bus Lines

It probably never occurred to the folks who rode them everyday, but the buses that have roamed the streets of America's cities over the past century represent some of this nation's most remarkable design work. Functional, yet each capturing a flair for its times, classic buses have become a favorite of collectors, thanks to Corgi's Vintage Bus Lines series.

For 2005, it's time to re-visit some of Gotham's finest. So let's hop the uptown to Columbus Circle and have a look at what's coming:

GM "Old Look" 4507 - Green Bus lines
GM Fishbowl -Green Bus Lines

Just the ticket for a trip to World's Fair in Flushing or a day at Coney Island, these Green Line buses were welcome sights in the outer boroughs, providing a pleasant alternative to the cramped subways. The Corgi replicas capture two stages in the Green Line evolution, with the "Old Look" (reminiscent of a streetcar) and the sleeker "Fishbowl" design of the 1960s. Each is presented in 1:50 scale, with complete and authentic markings. The "Old Look" is SKU #US54019, the "Fishbowl" is SKU # US54315. Suggested retail for each is $39.99 . For ages 14 & up.

MCI 102 DL3 - Gray Coach Lines

A modern day vehicle, the MCI 102 DL3 (SKU #US53409) carries commuters between Northern New Jersey and Manhattan, and serves as a tour bus for the millions who visit the Big Apple each year. This uniquely decorated bus features the ultimate symbol of New York - Lady Liberty herself. Suggested retail price $49.99. For ages 14 & up.

Aviation Archive

In 2005, Corgi's mission to chart the complete history of military aviation, and preserve it through the creation of highly authentic, detailed die-cast replicas continues in a big way. Aviation Archive welcomes a host of new replicas and a new line that puts a human face on the glory of flight - the Flight Line Collection.

P-40 Warhawk

B25 Mitchell
P-40 Warhawk

Two of the finest aircraft of World War II receive all-new tooling in 1:72 scale. The giant replicas capture all the details and authentic markings of these iconic aircraft. The B25 Mitchell is SKU#AA35302 with a suggested retail price of $69.99. The P-40 Warhawk is SKU#AA35202. Suggested retail price: $24.99. For ages 14 & up.

The Flight Line Series

It's great to remember the aircraft that made aviation history, but what about the men who laid it all on the line to fly and maintain these classic planes? In 2005, Corgi commemorates the bravery and commitment of the ace pilots and ground crew who served their countries during WWII. The Flight Line Series presents 1:32 scale replicas that show the human side of flight, realistically posed, finely detailed and garbed in only the most authentic uniforms.

The first series features: Flight Sergeant George "Grumpy" Unwin and his Spitfire Mk IA; Captain Clarence "Bud" Anderson and his P51D Mustang; and Gerhard Barkhorn and his Messerschmitt Bf109G-6 Hauptmann.

Suggested retail price: $99.99. For ages 14 & up.

Nose Art Collection

When America's World War II fly boys took to the skies over Europe and the Pacific, they didn't travel alone. They were accompanied by the images of movie stars, pinup queens, cartoon characters and the girls they left behind. Colorful and skillfully rendered, these paintings - known as "Nose Art" because of their typical placement near the nose of the aircraft -- brought a personal touch to some of the greatest aircraft of the era.

Now, Corgi USA remembers this unique artwork with an all-new 1:72 scale Aviation Archive replicas featuring legendary nose art. The artwork appears not only on the plane replica, but also on a larger scale cut-out section of the fuselage, which can be displayed on a stand-alone base along with the model aircraft. Here's some of what's new:

Boeing B-17G with "A Bit o' Lace" nose art

• P-51K Mustang with "Mrs. Bonnie" nose art (SKU#US32213) $29.99
