Hey collectors, Trenton here from Hallsguide! Get ready to rev your engines because Hot Wheels is dropping a limited-edition Batmobile that’s sure to send your collection into overdrive. This ain’t no ordinary Batmobile, though. This one’s a collaboration with Kith, the streetwear brand that’s been making waves in the fashion world.

A Dynamic Duo: Hot Wheels and Kith

For those unfamiliar with Kith, let me give you the lowdown. Founded in 2011 by Ronnie Fieg, Kith has become synonymous with high-quality streetwear, often featuring collaborations with big names in sports, music, and, now, pop culture. They’ve got a knack for blending classic styles with modern trends, and this Batmobile is a perfect example of that.

The Batmobile That’s Got It All

This 1:64 scale replica of the 1989 Batmobile is decked out in Kith’s signature style. We’re talking custom Kith Bat Signal Batman indicia and Kith Monogram artwork throughout. It even comes in custom packaging that screams “collector’s item.”

Nostalgia Trip

Now, let’s talk about the car itself. The 1989 Batmobile is an icon, pure and simple. It’s sleek, it’s powerful, and it perfectly captures the dark and brooding aesthetic of Tim Burton’s Batman. I remember seeing it on the big screen as a kid and being absolutely blown away. This Hot Wheels release is a great way to relive that childhood excitement.

Collectibility Factor

As for collectibility, this Batmobile is sure to be a hot commodity. Limited-edition releases from Hot Wheels always generate a lot of buzz, and the Kith collaboration only adds to the appeal. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one selling for a premium on the secondary market.

Release Details

The Batman x Kith for Hot Wheels 1989 Batmobile drops on Monday, November 18th at Kith shops, 11AM EST/CET on Kith.com, CA.Kith.com, EU.Kith.com & the Kith App.

My Two Cents

Personally, I’m excited about this release. It’s a great blend of pop culture and streetwear, and it’s sure to be a conversation starter in any collection. If you’re a fan of Batman, Hot Wheels, or Kith, I highly recommend trying to snag one of these.

Hey everyone, it’s Trenton from Hallsguide, and I’m back with a first look at the 2025 Car Culture Silhouettes set! This time around, Hot Wheels is taking us on a journey through JDM tuner culture and some seriously wild widebody creations. Get ready for some extreme modifications and iconic cars.

I’ve always been drawn to the creativity and boldness of the Japanese tuning scene. Those wild body kits, eye-catching liveries, and the pursuit of pushing the boundaries of performance – it’s truly inspiring. This Silhouettes set captures that spirit perfectly.

This set is all about pushing the limits of automotive design. We’re talking about cars that are sculpted for speed and style, with those signature exaggerated fenders, massive wings, and deep-dish wheels.

Here’s the lineup that has us all buzzing:

• LB-ER34 Super Silhouette Nissan Skyline: This is a legendary car in the world of Japanese motorsports. The original Super Silhouette Skyline was a Group 5 race car that dominated the Fuji Grand Champion Series in the early 80s. This Hot Wheels version captures that iconic look with its widebody kit, massive rear wing, and those classic white and yellow Liberty Walk graphics. Seeing it roll on black Real Riders is just the icing on the cake.
  
• LB-Works McLaren 720S: This is a brand new casting for Hot Wheels, and it’s a stunner! The 720S is already a head-turner, but the Liberty Walk widebody kit takes it to another dimension. Those flared fenders, the aggressive diffuser, and that massive wing – it’s all here in 1:64 scale. The blue and black color scheme with black six-spoke Real Riders completes the look. And keep an eye out for the rare chase version in black!
  
• Nissan 300ZX: The 300ZX is a JDM icon, known for its sleek design and powerful twin-turbocharged engine. This Hot Wheels release seems to be capturing the tuner spirit of the 90s, with a lowered stance, widebody kit, and those classic white five-spoke Real Riders. I’m excited to see the final deco on this one.
  
• Mazda RX-7 FC Pandem: The FC RX-7 is a rotary-powered legend, and this Pandem version is a perfect example of modern JDM tuning. The Pandem widebody kit gives it an aggressive stance, and the light blue paint with pink splatter graphics and yellow and white stripes is inspired by the real-life car owned by pro racer Collette Davis. The fact that Hot Wheels is including her signature on the card is a really cool touch. And those mismatched pink and yellow Real Riders? Pure fire.
  
• RWB Porsche 930: RWB (Rauh-Welt Begriff) is known for transforming classic Porsche 911s into widebody masterpieces. This 930 is no exception, with its signature flared fenders, ducktail spoiler, and those copper six-spoke Real Riders. The white paint job with Kamiwaza Japan graphics adds a touch of elegance to this beast.
  

This set is a fantastic mix of JDM legends and modern tuner icons. It’s a testament to the global influence of Japanese car culture and the creativity of the modding community.  Keep an eye out for the #0/5 LB-Works McLaren 720S in all black.  This rare chase version will be hard to get your hands on!

How do you plan to display these. Maybe a custom diorama with a Japanese street scene?

Keep your eyes peeled for the 2025 Car Culture Silhouettes set! These are going to be highly sought-after, so don’t sleep on them.
