Hot Wheels Basic Car Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R LBWK Vehicle Toy Mini Car Ages 3+ Blue HXR17

📝 Manufacturer description (Japanese)

• [Contents] In the 1980s, the "kaido racer" style—a modified look inspired by race cars—became a craze among young Japanese car enthusiasts. In particular, the look of bolt-on overfenders covering the wide slick tires used on race cars for better grip became an object of admiration, and illegally modified cars imitating the style began appearing all over the country. Liberty Walk, based in Aichi Prefecture, revived the kaido racer style by combining it with modern supercars. This Hot Wheels model depicts the personal car of company representative Wataru Kato, which recreates the roots of Liberty Walk's kaido racer style using a fourth-generation Skyline, commonly known as the "Kenmeri." It has been given the tall, exaggerated proportions often seen in Japanese plastic model kits from the 1980s. Despite its comical look, the model faithfully reproduces details of the real car, including its square, slanted headlights, dummy oil cooler, and removed rear bumper. The round taillights have been reduced from four to two, a style commonly known as "one-tail."
• [Country of Origin] Malaysia　[Recommended Age] Ages 3 and up
• [Note] The back of the blister card is in Japanese.
• [Perfect for Gifts] A great gift for birthdays, Christmas, school entrance or graduation celebrations, and other special occasions.
