There have not been too many new Hot Wheels models lately, but I pounced on this one when I saw it. A Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 in white, with Godzilla markings on the sides.
It has Godzilla himself and claw marks in black, with the Godzilla name in red. The model also has red tail lights, and a black plastic base.
Most Hot Wheels movie related models are in the Showtime sub-series, but this one is part of the J-Imports series instead. It is a 2024 model, but there was also a 2023 version with different markings on the sides in blue, grey, and black.
Upon looking in to this model, it seems that Hot Wheels have done a few Godzilla models over the last few years, including a Character Car (a vehicle in the shape of the character), and a Monster Truck, but this is the first one I have seen.
I am sure these models will disappear very quickly, given the number of monster fans there are out there. If you see one, grab it.

Interesting that Gojira gets his own motor! ha ha. Nice one Paul, good catch. This could easily be the car of the Monarch organisation, who watch out for Godzilla and the other titans.
ReplyDeleteNow that’s some clever cross-branding! SFZ
ReplyDeleteNice graphics, but come on, Mattel -give us a Godzilla Minus One Shinden aircraft!
ReplyDeleteThe Shinden would make a great Sky Busters model in the Matchbox line. After all, they did the Indiana Jones models.
