2018 Hot Wheels ’15 Land Rover Defender Double Cab FJY55 · BLOR wheels — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

FJY55 recolors the debut in pale eggshell green while keeping the 822 rally treatment. The entry documented here has BLOR wheels. A second FJY55 version uses the OR6SP wheel code, so color alone cannot distinguish the two records.

Casting Info

Because the paint and rally layout match the companion FJY55, the wheel variation is the useful identifying detail. Record the wheel type alongside the toy number when cataloging this version.

How to Identify This Variation

  1. Read the code on the package or underside before comparing colors.
  2. Check the paint and tampo placement against the details listed here.
  3. Inspect the wheel face and base carefully; wheel variations can share the same toy number.
  4. Separate original printed graphics from later paint wear when assessing a loose example.

Physical Details

The original double-cab shell, open cargo bed and raised stance remain unchanged from the khaki FJV45. The visual difference is the eggshell-green body and BLOR wheel treatment. The casting is 1:64 scale, with a metal body and plastic base. Check both sides, the roof, front guard, bed and wheel faces before recording condition.

Packaging Details

Use the toy code, series name and series position to identify the package. The packaging is secondary to the casting details on this reference page.

Value Research

Compare completed sales for the exact code and variation. Keep loose examples separate from sealed cards, and compare paint, wheel and tampo condition before using a sale as a match. No unsupported price range is assigned here.

Release History

The casting debuted in 2018 and has appeared in mainline series, licensed decoration, Zamac treatment and later themed assortments. 2018’s FJY55 is identified by 822 rally number and land rover / sponsor graphics.

Collector FAQs

Is the green FJY55 a separate color release from the OR6SP version?

No. Both entries share the FJY55 code, green body and 822 graphics. The catalog distinction is the wheel configuration: BLOR here, OR6SP on the companion page.

What should I check on a loose example?

Inspect the roof rack and lamps, cab edges, bed sides, front guard, wheel faces and all printed graphics. These high points and edges show handling wear first.
