Hot Wheels Wonder Woman 84 Jet

Hi

          The film Wonder Woman 1984, or WW84 was released in late December 2020.

Hot Wheels have included a die-cast Wonder Woman Jet in their Replica Entertainment line for 2020. This is the Panavia Tornado strike jet, which was a joint British/German/Italian design from the 1970s. It is a two-seater, with swing-wings. The Hot Wheels model has its wings fixed in the forward position, for take-off or landing, but no undercarriage. 

The model is provided with a clear plastic display stand. It seems to have been modelled as a single-seater. There are large fuel tanks beneath the wings. The colour scheme is overall dark gunmetal grey, with a black nose tip, and smoke-tinted canopy. The only markings are a USAF style serial number in black on each side of the fin, and above the starboard tailplane. 

This is AF73 097. The model is a lot smaller than a Matchbox Sky-buster, more like the handful of aircraft that have been included in the main Matchbox line, such as the S-2 Jet or the F-14 Tomcat. Copyright notice on the underside says DC Comics. 

The packaging is the new style, with a small clear plastic bubble on a heavy card backing. This uses less plastic than the older style packaging, but offers much less protection to the model, and makes the models harder to stack.

     Here is a site which includes information on the whole Hot Wheels Entertainment line, the exact name of which has varied over the years.
