Cornerstone Communications, Inc. (USA)

New from Cornerstone is a series of collectable trading cards based on the second Austin Powers movie, The Spy Who Shagged Me. Released to British audiences in July, the new film sees the International Man of Mystery return to 1969 to once again do battle with Dr. Evil.

Cornerstone's basic 72 card set is made up of 50 story cards retelling the movie plot through full-colour photographs and text, ten Austin's Diary cards featuring the main characters and exclusive diary extracts, three Austin's Wild Wheels cards featuring artwork of the spy's vehicles, and nine Fashion Flashback puzzle cards showcasing some of the movie's most outrageous costumes. Additional inserts are three movie poster cards (1:12 packs), four Help Austin find his Mojo cards (1:18) and one official License to Swing card (1:72). Collectors also have a chance of finding one of three promo cards (P6, P7 and P8) for the second Austin Powers series, due to be released by Cornerstone later this year.
