Path Beater casting context
Path Beater is the name used for this release in the Hot Wheels catalog. The same pickup body family also appears under Beach Patrol and Surf Patrol names. Those named releases are kept in their own collector records, so the release name, year, toy number, decoration and wheels should be checked together.

Collector FAQs
How do I identify this release?
Match the purple body and Leo Metzeller catalog designation; the entry has no listed toy number.
Does the shared pickup shape make Beach Patrol or Surf Patrol the same release?
No. The body family is related, but Hot Wheels records the release names separately. Use the name and package details for the specific version.
How should I compare condition or value?
Compare the exact year, toy number, series, wheels and package state. A loose model and a carded package are different condition records; no value estimate is assigned here without matched sales evidence.
