Hot Wheels Ford Maverick Pickup (Coming Soon!)

[Deleted member 5352]

I'll probably grab one whenever I randomly happen to walk through a toy aisle and see it but I won't make a special trip for it.

Since I've been collecting for fifteen years, I will definitely be making special trips until I find one. The beauty of it is I won't be looking just for this one, I'll also be looking for others that peak my interest in the batch. I wonder how desired it's gonna be. Will it be one of those castings that gets scalped or will it be what we call a "pegwarmer" which is a casting that sells very slowly and warms the pegs for a very long time.

Just wanted to share the official Hot Wheels '22 Ford Maverick Custom that'll be hitting stores in the next few months. It's about time the Ford Maverick gets some love in the diecast world. I would've preferred Matchbox to do one first since they would've made a clean, stock version. But Hot Wheels being Hot Wheels, they went with a race truck motif. But that won't stop me from getting one. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments below.

FYI a little nail polish remover will take the stripes off
As a long time Hot Wheels collector I foresee myself having a big stack of Maverick diecasts because I can’t control myself

Just in time for the ‘25 MY ST line Maverick. Or Maverick ST trim. @fordvideoguy

As a lifelong collector as well (my dad bought my first Matcbox car for me a few months before I was born in '66) I have a fair size collection and still occasionally buy one when it piqued my interest. I saw this Lotus last week and bought it just because it looked so close to the Hot Pepper Red. Hope they make a few different versions to match our colors.

Damn, I'm just too old. I would have thought that a die cast Maverick would look like MY truck and not something out of a 15-year-old-boy's wet dream.

It's not Cactus Gray? That makes ME blue!

Let's start a rumor that is what the 2025 is going to look like

Both Hot Wheels and Matchbox are owned by Mattel I believe, so they actually have the same corporate parent. Not sure if they share any dies/molds between the companies though. Now recently I was at Hobby Lobby and saw a Greenlight brand model of a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport "rally vehicle" that looked very similar to the Matchbox Bronco Sport (no duh, it's the same car, I know). But Greenlight is owned by another company I believe, not Mattel, so presumably they did their own mold for this car. I'm slightly encouraged by this and hope someone is going to make a more realistic mold of the Maverick...some day!
