I previously posted the famous Neo Kaido Datsun based on Jun Imai’s Datsun.

For 2018 Hot Wheels came out with their latest Skyline model, the Nissan Skyline GTR R33. This car was manufactured in Musashimurayama, Japan around 1995.

Nicely done in metalflake blue, it does come with detailed head and taillights.

I got this one from a trade with MrAlbee as this never showed up (or have been spotted) in our area.

In the old days this would have been indicated as ‘First Edition’ as this is the debut release in the ‘Then and Now’ series. It is now indicated as ‘New for 2018'. Nice paint job, no unnecessary tampos, Hot Wheels did good in this first release.

If you collect Skyline, this is a must have without having to spend an arm and leg.
