M2 1:24 Volkswagen Beetles: EMPI, Maui & Sons or Two-Tone?
Choose the orange-and-white EMPI Beetle for its automotive graphics, a Maui & Sons version for its branded decoration, or the green-and-beige two-tone when you prefer that color treatment. All four offers here are M2 1952 Volkswagen Beetle Deluxe models in 1:24, so the main confirmed choice is the release and appearance.
They are finished model cars. None is an assembly kit or a multi-car offer containing every color shown in this comparison.
EMPI Power Rules: orange and white
The EMPI Power Rules Beetle, item 40300-129B, uses orange-and-white paint and the named graphics. Consider it when the EMPI theme is as important as the Beetle body.
Keep the item number when matching another EMPI model. A Volkswagen delivery van carrying related branding would be a separate vehicle, not another color choice for this Beetle.
Maui & Sons: purple metallic or light blue and white
The purple metallic Maui & Sons Beetle, item 40300-125B, offers a darker, single-color-led presentation with graphics. Choose it when purple is the finish you want to add to the shelf.
The light-blue-and-Wimbledon-White Maui & Sons release, item 40300-101A, is a distinct two-tone alternative. The shared brand theme does not make the two packages identical.
For a gift, choose the actual finish the collector likes. A larger quantity of graphics is not a measurable quality upgrade; it is a styling preference.
Dark green and beige: choose the two-tone body
The dark-green Beetle with beige sides, item 40300-137A, is the option to examine when that contrasting body treatment is the attraction rather than a named sponsor or clothing-brand graphic.
A simpler-looking finish does not, by itself, establish that every part reproduces a factory-stock full-size Beetle. Compare the actual product photograph with your preferred model appearance.
What these four listings have in common
All four specify rubber tires, positionable wheels, diecast metal with plastic components, and opening hood, doors and trunk. They list approximate dimensions of 6.75 inches long, 2.25 inches wide and 2.25 inches high.
The matching specifications do not prove identical tooling or paint quality. This guide does not rank durability or casting accuracy without a hands-on comparison. For a display with panels open, reserve more room than the closed dimensions.
Check packaging and scale before checkout
These listings describe manufacturer packaging but do not promise the same plastic showcase included with certain smaller M2 singles. A separate display cover should be chosen using its usable interior dimensions.
Do not confuse these 1:24 cars with the 1:64 Slug Bug Beetle. That single represents a different year and finish as well as a much smaller format. Our M2 size guide explains the display difference.
