The Hot Wheels 2024 K Case has released and we have a review for you guys! Hot Wheels really hit it out of the park with this one and this could be case of the year!
The first car we will be taking a look at is the ’96 Porsche Carrera. This Porsche features blue paint and gold rims The car also features Porsche branding on the front and Carrera on the rear. The car has been given a few decals along the side and is also adorned with the Magnus Walker Urban Outlaw logo. Overall, a great Porsche and another great addition to the Magnus Walker Hot Wheel contribution.
The next car we will take a look at is the potential Super Treasure Hunt for the K case, the Mazda 787B. This car comes in an orange paint with mismatching white and gold rims. The best detail for this car is the placement of many of the decals that are featured on the real car. Mazda decals can be seen on the sides, front, and top of the rear wing. A small Brembo logo can also be seen on the front fender of the car. While the car looks good in mainline form, the Spectraflame Orange Super Treasure will be extremely desirable!
The third car we will take a look at is the regular Treasure Hunt for the case, the Bone Shaker. The Bone Shaker casting has a solid following with collectors so don’t expect to find this Treasure Hunt lying around. The car comes in a white and black paint scheme with chrome details. The red Treasure Hunt flame is visible on the door just above the “84”. Goodyear and Bell sponsorships can also be seen on the side. We expect this Treasure Hunt to be one of the best performing of the year!
The next car we will see is the Tooned Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 (964). While this car is a recolor, Mattel did a great job with this casting. The car maintains the Porsche emblem and Turbo badging from the previous model but the new paint is incredible. The dark purple-brown color stands out from most every other Hot Wheels car. This will be another car that could take effort to find in the wild.
The final car for the first half of the K case is the Bumblebee VW Beetle. Mattel has been releasing parts of their collaboration between Hot Wheels and Transformers but this is a good option for anyone that opted out of the Optimus RLC. The bug comes in a basic yellow paint and doesn’t feature headlights but the exposed chrome gives a similar effect. The Autobot insignia can also be seen on the front of the car. One small hidden detail is also Bumblebee on the underside of the vehicle. The robotic head imbedded into the chrome frame is a great touch!
The secound half of the K case hits just as hard as the first. Coming up first we have the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento. It features white paint with black rims and red detailing. The red interior and paint on the top of the car are nice subtle touches that add to the Italian flair we like to see from these cars. The rest of the car lacks a bit, but we also enjoy the headlight detailing and Lamborghini emblem on the front of the vehicle.
Next we have another car for the Exotic car enthusiasts, the 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko. This car comes in a beautiful purple paint and featured black 5 spoke rims. A Koenigsegg badge on the front and back are nice small details to go along with the headlight detailing on this car. A unique feature of this vehicle is the reverse swept wing that we think looks great! Another solid car for the case.
The third car we see will have a few fans excited. While it isn’t part of the official ZAMAC line of cars for the year, the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C brings a raw metal aesthetic to the K case. The car features black 5 spoke rims and beautiful Shelby Blue graphics throughout. We expect to see this car become a big hit with collectors this year!
Next up, and keeping with the Ford vibes, we have the ’92 Ford Mustang. This car comes in a red paint with chrome 5 spoke rims. Headlight detailing isn’t the best but it’s better than none. The car also features some striping along the side and the infamous 5.0 badge as well. Overall, this will be a great car for the Foxbody fans.
Finally, we have a Liberty Walk addition to the K case. The Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R LBWK has a few modifications courtesy of Liberty Walk. The car features a light grey paint and smaller 5 spoke wheels. A custom rear end and front splitter are also visible. The headlight details are a nice touch, but we really enjoy the indentions for the rivets on the widened fenders. Hot Wheels and Liberty Walk did a great job with this car and we expect it to be hard to find.
Overall, the K case is a homerun from Hot Wheels. Even with the cars we looked at, there were more we could have mentioned. From an investment perspective there are a few cars that could be very nice pickups including the Mazda 787B, Bone Shaker, Bumblebee, and LBWK Skyline. These car should all have some value above retail and could be good to potentially hold for a bit. We would love to hear which of these cars you’re most excited for!
