Bump Around Hot Wheels Casting Info & Complete Collector's Guide

A casting reference to Hot Wheels’ miniature bumper car, with identification details for each documented release.

The Bump Around casting

Bump Around turns a carnival bumper car into a 1:64 Hot Wheels model. Its compact body, wraparound rails, open cockpit and upright rear pole set it apart from conventional cars. Designed by Jun Imai, the casting first appeared in 2013 in HW Racing’s Super Chromes series.

Hot Wheels brought the casting back in several colors and themes, including a Beatles Yellow Submarine treatment and later HW Fun Park versions. Body finish, side graphics, wheels and base details are the most useful clues when sorting the releases.

How to identify Bump Around releases

Release code and series establish the broad group; paint, side graphics, wheels and base separate close siblings. X1657 and X1941 share 145/250 and both wear a 3; BFD37 and BFG62 share 166/250 and carry checker panels with an 8. DML74 stands apart with Yellow Submarine artwork, while the Fun Park versions bring their own color and wheel combinations.

For GHP49 and JBJ88, the code names the HW Fun Park five-pack; Bump Around is the fourth car in each lineup. The body finish and decoration identify the individual release.

Reading the release codes

The 2013 pair shares collector number 145/250; the 2014 Track Aces pair shares 166/250. Later pack codes identify the set as a whole, so the casting’s own colors and graphics remain essential for distinguishing its release.
