Hot Wheels Battitude — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
Battitude is a bat-inspired Hot Wheels Monster Truck introduced in 2022. Pointed ears, broad wings and oversized tires define the casting; toy codes and assortment names distinguish its releases.
About the Battitude casting
Battitude is a Hot Wheels original design shaped like a bat, with broad wings and pointed ears arranged above the Monster Trucks chassis. It is not a licensed Batman vehicle. The creature styling, large tires and tall stance distinguish it from the small passenger-car castings with similar themes.
The five catalogued releases share the same basic Battitude silhouette. Compare the toy code and the finish together: HCP38 is dark with purple wings, HLR99 is purple with neon linework, and HMH30 uses glow-in-the-dark details.
How to identify a Battitude release
- Check for the bat-like winged body and pointed ears above the Monster Trucks chassis.
- Use the toy code to separate HCP38, HLR99, HMH30, JFX16 and JHY44.
- Compare the color and wheel treatment: purple wheels on HCP38, yellow wheels on HLR99, and blue wheels with yellow hubs on HMH30.
- Match the series or assortment name as well as the code: Beast Bashers, More Neonsense and Glow in the Dark entries include more than one Battitude release.

HCP38 marks the first documented release. Mattel’s HMH30 record confirms the 2023 Glow in the Dark version; its package does not use the numbered 2/5 position shown on HLR99.
Physical details
The design centers on bat wings, ears and a compact creature body mounted high over oversized Monster Truck wheels. These releases vary in their molded and decorated details, so color and wheel differences should be checked alongside the code.
Packaging details
HCP38 appears in Beast Bashers 4/6, HLR99 in More Neonsense 2/5, and HMH30 in Glow in the Dark. JFX16 is catalogued in the 2025 Glow in the Dark assortment; JHY44 is listed in 2026 Beast Bashers. The package’s Battitude name and toy code are useful checks when a loose casting’s finish is hard to read.
Carded examples are useful for series and assortment identification. Use the miniature itself to assess paint, wheels and physical condition. The later JFX16 and JHY44 records are linked here by code and series.

Carded views help confirm the release markings; the loose HMH30 view shows the casting itself.
Condition and completeness
Inspect the wing tips and ears for chips, bends or impact marks. Check the large tires for wear and confirm that all four are present. On HLR99, compare the neon linework across both sides; on HMH30, note that the glow effect is part of the release and may look different in daylight than in darkness.
For carded pieces, examine the blister and card separately from the truck. Record any missing or cracked packaging without treating it as a casting variation.
Value Research
Compare completed sales only after matching the exact Battitude code and assortment. Check the card or package for the toy number, then compare condition separately: loose trucks, sealed examples and damaged packaging are different collecting categories. The records here identify releases; they do not establish a current price.
Use the release record and variation web to confirm the version before comparing a sale.
