Hot Wheels Gamora Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Gamora is a Marvel Character Car designed by Bryan Benedict. Hot Wheels produced this 1:64-scale fantasy sports car from 2015 through 2018. The sculpt translates character details into the car itself: the original card describes the hood as echoing Gamora’s mesh top and leather straps, with belt and forearm-band references worked into the grille and side vents.

Casting overview

This is a character-based design rather than a licensed production-car replica. Its low, swept body and sculpted side openings carry the Gamora references, while the recurring green body, blue-and-dark-green graphics, purple-tinted windows and blue-rimmed black PR5 wheels make the casting recognizable across the documented issues.

The cataloged run begins with the 2015 Marvel Character Cars release and ends with the 2018 issue. Two different 2017 releases are listed: one in the Volume 2 Remixed five-pack and one with its own Marvel Character Cars number. They share the main casting treatment, so the toy number and packaging are essential when recording which one you own.

How to identify a Gamora release

Turn the car over and record the toy number from the package or release listing; then compare the card or multipack context. The four records in this guide use CGD58, DXM19, FBC04 and FRB25. Body appearance alone will not reliably separate them because the catalog describes the same green body, graphic colors, purple-tint windows and wheel type across all four.

Collector’s check: distinguish the 2017 DXM19 five-pack issue from the 2017 FBC04 release by the toy number and packaging. The 2018 FRB25 card uses Avengers: Infinity War artwork; the 2017 FBC04 card is associated with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 artwork.

Year / toy number Series or package Release distinction
2015 · CGD58 Marvel Character Cars, #13 First documented release; Guardians of the Galaxy card artwork.
2017 · DXM19 Marvel Character Cars: Volume 2 Remixed 5-Pack Five-pack release; base code J52 is documented for this issue.
2017 · FBC04 Marvel Character Cars Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 card artwork distinguishes this packaged issue.
2018 · FRB25 Marvel Character Cars Avengers: Infinity War card artwork distinguishes this packaged issue.

Physical details

The shared catalog description lists a green body decorated with blue and dark-green lines and a complex pattern. It has purple-tinted glazing, a chrome-colored interior, a chrome plastic base, and black PR5 wheels with blue rims. These recurring traits identify the casting treatment, while the release code and package identify the issue.

The character references are integrated into the body rather than added as a separate figure. The 2015 card text calls out the hood, grille, side vents and sword detail along the rocker panels. Treat those as design cues when examining the sculpt; the tampo layout and packaging still need to be compared against the specific release.

Packaging and release notes

Card artwork provides useful evidence for the standalone 2017 and 2018 issues. A loose car may retain the same main color and graphic scheme across years, so a loose example without a matching package should be identified by its physical features only where those features are documented, and its exact release should remain unconfirmed if no issue-specific marker is present.

The DXM19 release is cataloged within the Volume 2 Remixed five-pack rather than as the same issue as FBC04. Keep the packaging or toy number with the car when cataloging the five-pack version.

Gamora collector questions

How many releases are listed here?

This guide links four documented issues spanning 2015–2018: CGD58, DXM19, FBC04 and FRB25.

Are the two 2017 versions the same release?

No. DXM19 is the Volume 2 Remixed five-pack issue, while FBC04 is a separate Marvel Character Cars release. Use the code and original package to distinguish them.

Research notes

Release names, years, toy numbers and shared physical specifications are cross-checked against collector catalog records. Packaging artwork and the five-pack association are useful identification evidence; where a release-specific physical difference is not documented, this guide does not invent one.
