2022 Hot Wheels Replica Entertainment The Mystery Machine

The Hot Wheels The Mystery Machine was first released in the 2012 New Models series and has since been produced in about 16 different variations. Included in the 2022 Replica Entertainment series with excellent Scooby-Doo card art, it was given a metal base and Real Riders and decked out in wraparound tampo with nicely painted details.

I found my example last summer when I made a drive to the Derby, KS, Dillon’s (Kroger) grocery store, where I also picked up the Replica Entertainment Batmobile.

Unlike mainline versions of the Hot Wheels The Mystery Machine, this premium release has tampo on the front and back, as well as painted head- and taillights.

Other examples of the Hot Wheels The Mystery Machine in my collection include two variations of the 2012 first release and the 2014 HW City variation. I also have the 2019 Hot Wheels Screen Time Batmobile with The Mystery Machine livery. And I have a fun, larger scale The Mystery Machine from the 2022 Jada Toys Hollywood Rides series.

2022 Hot Wheels Fast & Furious ’70 Chevrolet Nova SS

The Hot Wheels ’70 Chevy Nova SS was first released in 2021. This example, from the 2022 Replica Entertainment: Fast & Furious series, is the second variation of this casting, both of which represent the car driven by Letty Ortiz in the F9 installment of the Fast & Furious movie franchise. Packaged with striking card art, this version – which was sent to me by my friend and fellow collector, Brad – has metalflake silver paint, the signature black SS stripes, and Larry Wood 5-spoke Real Riders.

This release of the Hot Wheels ’70 Chevrolet Nova SS features nicely painted details.

The photo below compares the profile of the Hot Wheels ’70 Chevy Nova SS with that of the Hot Wheels ’68 Chevy Nova. The ’70 Nova SS has a lower profile, more detail and is generally more accurate to the real car.
