Dom’s Jada Dodge Charger: 2009, Fast X and Raw-Metal Versions Compared

Published by

Jada 35729 matte-black 1970 Dodge Charger R/T in 1:24 scale, associated with Fast & Furious (2009)

Choose Dom’s Jada Charger by the item number, film association and scale. A black Charger photograph alone can leave you comparing the wrong releases. The matte-black 2009-associated car, black Fast X car and smaller raw-metal version have different identities.

This guide compares 35729, 34918 and 97350. Start with the version you want to display, then check its finish, opening parts and dimensions.

This comparison is part of the Hobby Learning Center. Keep the item number beside the film title when you compare photographs or choose a gift.

Three Charger versions to compare

Jada Charger editions, scales and listed opening parts
Item and film association Scale and finish Listed opening parts
35729 · Fast & Furious (2009) 1:24 matte-black 1970 Charger R/T Hood, doors and trunk
34918 · Fast X 1:24 black 1970 Charger R/T Hood, doors and trunk
97350 · Furious 7 1:32 raw-metal Charger R/T Doors

All three listings describe complete diecast cars with plastic components and rubber tires. “Raw metal” names a finish on the smaller model; it is not a stripped DIY body that needs assembly.

35729: matte black and the 2009 film association

The matte-black Charger R/T, 35729, identifies Fast & Furious (2009) and an exposed-engine treatment in its listing. Compare that edition when the matte appearance or film connection is what you want.

Its approximate listed dimensions are 8.5 inches long, 3.25 inches wide and 2.25 inches high. Leave more clearance if you want the doors, hood or trunk open. The closed car’s dimensions do not tell you the space needed for an open-panel display.

34918: the black Fast X release

The Fast X Charger, 34918, also lists approximate dimensions of 8.5 inches long, 3.25 inches wide and 2.25 inches high. Its photographs show the car, cabin and engine, giving you details to compare with the edition already in your collection.

Matching listed dimensions and opening parts do not establish that two releases have identical paint, tooling or packaging. Choose this car by its Fast X identity and the photographed appearance. If it is a gift, check the recipient’s existing item number; “a black Charger” is too broad to rule out a duplicate.

97350: a smaller raw-metal option

The 1:32 raw-metal 97350 is a complete car. Its box and enlarged view show the same release; the photograph is not an offer of an extra vehicle or an assembly kit.

The 1:32 raw-metal Charger, 97350, is listed at approximately 5 inches long. It offers a smaller display footprint and an unpainted-looking finish for someone who wants that version.

The description lists opening doors. Do not assume it shares the opening hood and trunk of the 1:24 models. Read the exact feature list for the scale you choose, and check the full package size if the car will stay boxed.

Keep the Challenger and modern Charger separate

The black Challenger SRT8, 97384, is a different Dodge vehicle. Dom’s name and a black finish do not make it a substitute for a requested classic Charger.

The gray 2021 Charger SRT Hellcat, 34473, is another subject associated with Fast X. It is a modern Charger body style, rather than the 1970 car in another color. Match the model year along with the film wording.

Choose the edition that belongs in your collection

Pick the vehicle first, then the scale and film version. Compare the current product price for that exact item and allow enough display space for the way you intend to show it.

Questions before choosing a Charger

Does “raw metal” mean I need to build the car?

No. Item 97350 is a complete 1:32 diecast car; raw metal describes its finish. It is not a disassembled body or an assembly kit. Check this reference’s own feature list rather than borrowing opening parts from a different release.

Can I choose between 35729 and 34918 from the black color alone?

Use the item number and film association together. The current 35729 is the matte-black 2009-associated release, while 34918 identifies Fast X. If the car is a gift, ask which item number is already in the collection before treating another black Charger as a new choice.

Will a 1:24 display case leave room for open panels?

The two 1:24 listings give the closed car at approximately 8.5 × 3.25 × 2.25 inches. That does not establish the space needed with the hood, doors or trunk open. Compare the case’s usable interior with the actual arrangement you want to display; its scale label alone cannot guarantee clearance.
