This is a great Monster Truck called Battitude and was new for 2022.
While Hot Wheels Mainline models are two and a half to three inches long, the Monster Trucks are more like four inches, and a lot taller due to the depth of the chassis and the giant wheels.
There are only a few basic chassis/engine set-ups, fitted with a wide range of different bodies. Some are shaped more or less like a normal vehicle, while others are more way out.
Battitude is one of the latter. A vampire bat, with a formidable set of teeth. It is a mix of metal and plastic parts. The engine and exhaust pipes are chromed, with a red chassis, and 'eyes' of clear red plastic. Basically black and purple, with extensive tampo printed detailing.
Current Hot Wheels Monster Trucks include a crushed car for you to drive over. In this case, it is a green station wagon.
The models are contained within a clear plastic bubble shaped like a giant wheel.
Hope you like it.

I like the styling on that! The head has a slightly Transformers vibe to it and the multicoloured wings are a graphics triumph. Since I dipped my toe into the custom designer toy scene, I've become increasingly aware of the toyetic aesthetic

I've always been fascinated with toys, but now I'm appreciating them on an even deeper level!
It is an interesting shape Paul. Vampires, bats and cars just seem to go together!
