Batman Car Appraisal

Hot Wheels Batman v Superman GCPD Police Car (1/5)

This item is a Hot Wheels collectible die-cast car, still sealed in its original blister packaging. The packaging features prominent branding for 'Hot Wheels' at the top and 'DC' in the upper right corner, indicating a licensed product. The card art is themed around 'BATMAN v SUPERMAN', with a large, stylized emblem combining the Batman bat symbol with the Superman 'S' shield in the center of the card. The backdrop includes shadowy cityscapes. The car inside the blister pack is a Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) patrol vehicle, primarily black and white with 'GCPD' prominently displayed on the side. It has '212' on the fender and a gold-colored emblem near the front door. The wheels are multi-spoke, also in a gold or brass tone. The car appears to be in pristine, factory-new condition, protected by the clear plastic blister. The packaging itself shows minor signs of handling, but no significant creasing or tears are visible. The blister is firmly attached to the card. Below the car, the packaging indicates '1/5', suggesting it is the first car in a series of five within this particular collection. The car's design is typical of a 1:64 scale die-cast vehicle, manufactured with a metal chassis and plastic components, showcasing detailed tampo printing for the police decals. Given the 'Batman v Superman' theme, the estimated age of this item aligns with the movie's release, likely mid-2010s (circa 2016). The quality of the printing on both the card and the car itself appears high, consistent with standard Hot Wheels releases.
