Hot Wheels Dodge Tomahawk — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
The Hot Wheels Dodge Tomahawk is a 64 mm four-wheel motorcycle-style miniature based on Dodge’s unusual V10 concept vehicle. The toy first appeared in 2004, then returned in distinct finishes and series from 2005 through the 2012 Motor Cycles release. Its silver, gold-chrome, chrome, white, red, black, yellow and rider-equipped versions are easiest to distinguish by matching the toy number to the paint and decoration.

Variation Summary
The catalogs document eight physical finish/rider profiles. Two 2005 entries share H9084, two 2006 entries share J3389, and two 2007 entries share L3108, so the code alone does not settle color. The 2013 entry repeats the 2012 X2077 appearance. A separate 2016 X2077 record has no corroborating release evidence.

How to Identify a Dodge Tomahawk Release
- Check the year and toy number together. The shared codes H9084, J3389 and L3108 each cover two colors.
- Match the finish and side graphics. The 2006 J3389 pair is white with a blue Tomahawk logo or red with a white Tomahawk logo. The 2007 L3108 pair is black or yellow with different Dodge lettering.
- Separate rider editions from the earlier releases. The 2012 Motor Cycles version has a red rider and the silver body treatment. The 2013 listing is described as the same release.
- Use packaging as evidence. Collector number 080 identifies the 2004 First Editions release; collector number 176 applies to both 2005 H9084 finishes, with the chrome version identified as Kmart exclusive in South Texas Diecast’s catalog.
Country note: the 2007 entries conflict: Hot Wheels Newsletter lists Malaysia while South Texas Diecast lists Thailand. Check the country molded on the individual base before assigning that detail.
Physical Details
The 2004 description calls out a metal base, engine and handlebars, along with the Tomahawk’s distinctive special four-wheel layout. It also describes a flat black seat and silver wheels. Later releases reuse the same recognizable body while changing plating, paint, wheel finish and side decoration; the gold, chrome and black-wheel versions are particularly easy to tell apart in hand.
Wheel terminology differs between catalog systems. Compare the actual wheel pattern and finish on the toy rather than treating a catalog abbreviation as proof that two releases use identical parts.
Packaging and Collection Notes
Original packages help distinguish repeated toy numbers and series issues. The 2004 model is First Editions #080; the 2005 H9084 pair is listed at collector number 176; the 2006 J3389 pair is Mopar Madness #063; and the 2007 L3108 pair is All Stars #155. The 2012 X2077 belongs to Motor Cycles and includes a rider.
For a loose example, record body finish, side graphics, wheel finish, seat, rider presence and country stamp. Do not infer a separate release from the shared X2077 code alone.
Collector Questions
How many Dodge Tomahawk versions are confirmed in the catalogs?
Eight physical finish/rider profiles are listed through 2012. A 2013 catalog repeats the X2077 appearance and is described as the same as 2012; the 2016 X2077 page is unverified.
Which Dodge Tomahawk has a rider?
The silver 2012 Motor Cycles X2077 entry is described with a red rider.
Why do two Tomahawks have the same toy number?
H9084, J3389 and L3108 each appear on two documented finishes. Compare paint, decoration and packaging as well as the toy number.
Is the 2013 X2077 a different color variation?
The reference catalog describes the 2013 listing as the same as the 2012 release; no separate physical change is established by that listing.
Is the 2007 Tomahawk made in Malaysia or Thailand?
The two collector catalogs disagree. The Newsletter lists Malaysia and South Texas Diecast lists Thailand for L3108. The individual base is the best evidence for a specific specimen.
Catalog Notes
Release colors, item numbers and series were cross-checked against the Hot Wheels Newsletter casting entry and digital catalog, and the South Texas Diecast Dodge Tomahawk checklist. The 2013 repeat listing comes from South Texas Diecast’s Motor Cycles record. The 2016 entry is not corroborated by those release lists. Their 2007 country and wheel terminology differences are kept explicit above.
