2017 Hot Wheels '71 Datsun Bluebird 510 Wagon FBD29 — Collector Guide

Official Identification

Collector catalogs associate FBD29 with the sky-blue Surf's Up wagon. Exact photographs agree with its JNC Surf Patrol stripes, number 71, red five-spoke wheels and front-card positions. The individual toy number is separate from an assortment code; the separately photographed card back prints assortment L2593.

Variation Summary

This is the painted sky-blue version. The 2017 FBJ01 ZAMAC release has an unpainted body, yellow wheels and different stripe colors, despite sharing Surf's Up 3/5. Those releases remain separate records.

Physical Details

The three photographs show the front package, hood/front detail and rear/roof detail. No underside image establishes the base date code or exact stamped markings. Grille tooling and measured scale remain unconfirmed for this photographed example.

Packaging Details

The long blister card contains one wagon. It shows Surf's Up 3/5, collector 277/365, a 3+ age mark and the Guaranteed for Life text. The hood and rear views photograph the car through its blister; they are not separate loose examples.

A separately photographed FBD29 card back prints FBD29-D9B0N, assortment L2593, UPC 887961367614 and Made in Malaysia. It comes from a source showing both regular and ZAMAC wagons; only the back explicitly marked FBD29 is assigned here. Regional package differences remain undocumented.

Casting History

Jun Imai designed this modified five-door 1971 Datsun 510 wagon, which debuted in 2013 Boulevard. The wagon tooling is separate from the two-door Datsun Bluebird 510. FBD29 brought JNC Surf Patrol decoration to the 2017 mainline Surf's Up mini-series.

Notable Releases

Compare FBD29 with FBJ01 ZAMAC for body finish, wheels and stripe colors, or the 2016 DJF81 Japan Historics for the earlier black Advan premium release with Real Riders.

Collector FAQs

What do 3/5 and 277/365 mean?

3/5 is the Surf's Up mini-series position. 277/365 is the printed 2017 collector number; neither is a production quantity.

Is this the ZAMAC wagon?

No. FBD29 has sky-blue paint and red five-spoke wheels. FBJ01 is the distinct unpainted ZAMAC release with yellow wheels.

Are these Real Riders?

No. This cataloged mainline release uses five-spoke plastic wheels and tires; red wheel plating does not make it a premium Real Riders release.
