Desert Dino: ’17 Ford Raptor on Sale Tuesday 8/10!

By Brad Bannach

The ’17 Ford Raptor with opening hood -- and tailgate -- is back! We wrapped it in a desert camouflage so it will surely stand out in your Hot Wheels garage.

Ford’s F-150 Raptor is one of the best-selling trucks of all-time, and Hot Wheels collectors have responded with that same enthusiasm toward our ’17 Ford Raptor casting, which originally made its HWC debut in 2018. It has already become a collector favorite!

This 2021 HWC Special Edition release comes equipped with Spectraflame light brown paint, Real Riders baja wheels, and fully detailed graphics. The truck is mounted to a brown plinth inside a clear acrylic case so you can gawk at those stunning details as you embrace it.

Our latest release is tough, clean, and mean, and there is only one way to hunt this beast made to overland the desert terrain. Get to MattelCreations.com on Tuesday, August 10th, 2021, if you want a chance to obtain it!

Damn they went up another penny over the last acrylic case release. I wonder how many people are going to be screaming "Mattel does not care about the Real True Collector. They are just in this to make as much money off of us as they can." lol

Very nice, hopefully will have good luck on this one.  Perfect timing as my Dollar General mail in Raptor finally confirmed today, these will go well together in the collection.

Oh the comments are way down here....

All through the TR article I stopped scrolling when I got to the related news links.  Seems like those links should not sever the continuity of the article flowing to the comments. But what do I know.

I have hunted most of my life, and I am an outdoors industry professional, but I am not sure I need this camouflage version.  I have the original blue and the Gulf racing versions.  The only argument I can make for this version is that I believe this camouflage is another first for a RLC release.
