A set of die-cast model vehicles produced by Lledo under licence from D.C. Thomson and Co. Ltd. to celebrate the iconic characters of The Beano comic. The collection is presented in a commemorative yellow and blue illustrated card display box with a flip-open cover. The interior flap provides biographical information and first appearance dates for characters including Minnie the Minx, Roger the Dodger, and Dennis the Menace. The reverse of the box features a history of the publication, noting its first issue in July 1938. The collection features vehicles with distinct character graphics, including a yellow vintage-style delivery van for Roger the Dodger, a cream-coloured delivery van for Minnie the Minx, a blue open-front delivery vehicle for Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, and a red and black Beanotown Transport tram with promotional signage. All vehicles are housed within an internal plastic display tray. The Lledo manufacturer logo and a copyright date of 2005 are printed on the packaging.
