A Batman panel van
This is the custom 2009 Transit Connect casting, introduced in the premium line in 2022. It has a metal body and base with Real Riders tires. The roof-mounted detail and squared-off cargo body are useful clues when sorting loose vans; the model name printed along the bottom of the card confirms the packaged example.

Choosing one for your collection
Check the artwork across both sides of the van, especially around the wheel arches and panel edges. A clear side photograph will tell you more about worn graphics than a distant shot of the card. Look closely at the bright wheel rims too.
If you collect carded examples, check the hanger, corners and blister seam. The large Batman illustration is part of the appeal, so creases or scuffs may matter as much to you as the condition of the van.
Collector questions
Is 2009 the Hot Wheels release year?
No. The 2009 date is part of the vehicle name. The tan Batman edition pictured here is a 2022 Hot Wheels release, identified by toy code HCN84.
