Blade Runner Spinner Prototype Record — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
The 1982 film inspired this proposed Hot Wheels design; the prototype did not become a retail release.
What the Record Covers
This is a research record for a development model, not an exact-release page for a production car. Propstore’s catalog describes a pair of resin Spinner prototypes from an unproduced Hot Wheels toy line based on the flying vehicles in Blade Runner. No retail toy number, scale, production date or package is documented.

Design and Provenance
The auction record describes intricate cockpit controls, seat grooves, pipes and fans. The two objects differ in finish and windshield; one was completed in two-tone blue while its companion was unfinished. Their documentation and ownership history are essential when assessing an object claimed as a Hot Wheels prototype.
These design models should not be presented as 1:64 retail cars. Their recorded dimensions are prototype measurements, and the Hot Wheels production scale was never established.
Value Research
No current range is assigned. A pair sold at Propstore in 2023 for £1,386. This is a historic result for those two documented prototypes; it does not set the value of other prototypes or establish a retail-car price.
