Release facts
How to identify this release
Easter bunny and flame decoration; the bed cover carries a Hot Wheels logo. Published catalogs disagree on the body shade, so compare the physical car and its package.
Use the release name, year and toy or collector number together. The base, wheel pattern, body finish and tampo are useful cross-checks when the car is loose. A package can confirm its series or assortment.
Physical details
The Dodge Sidewinder is a 68 mm Hot Wheels concept pickup. Its metal body and plastic base, interior, bed cover and windshield are documented for the original casting. This release uses Gold 10SP wheels and a chrome plastic.
Do not infer an undocumented interior, window tint or country of manufacture from a related color version. Check the exact car and its markings.
Packaging and condition
Target Easter Raceway 5-pack. Record the car’s paint, tampo, wheel wear, base condition and window marks separately from card or blister condition. The package helps confirm the original series; the loose casting shows its physical details.
Condition and completeness
Inspect the windshield, cab, bed cover, fenders, wheels and base for cracks, chips, scrapes or bent axles. Check the side and hood decoration for wear. Record the toy’s condition separately from its card, blister or multipack packaging.
Photo gallery
The release-specific finish, wheel pattern and graphics are the most useful visual comparison points. For a loose example, a side view and a clear underside view help document both the decoration and the base markings.
