Johnny Lightning 'Hollywood on Wheels' Blues Brothers 2000 Bluesmobile Die-cast Car

This item is a Johnny Lightning 'Hollywood on Wheels' series die-cast replica of the 'Bluesmobile' from the film 'Blues Brothers 2000'. The miniature vehicle is a police interceptor type, primarily black on the front and rear sections with a white central body. It features a green and white circular emblem on the front doors. The car has black wheels with what appear to be silver hubcaps. The model is presented in its original, unopened packaging, which consists of a blue and orange cardboard blister card with a clear plastic bubble encasing the vehicle. The card features 'Johnny Lightning' branding at the top, along with 'Hollywood on Wheels' in a marquee-style font. A graphic of a television screen displays an image of the two main characters from 'Blues Brothers 2000'. Text on the card highlights 'Authentic Replicas of Famous TV and Movie Vehicles', 'Die-Cast Metal Body AND Chassis', and 'BONUS ShowCard'. There's also a 'Collector Series' emblem visible. The packaging itself shows minor shelf wear, particularly around the edges and corners, but nothing that appears to compromise the integrity of the blister. There's a price sticker partially visible, indicating a price of $4.99 USD. The overall condition is excellent, given it's still in its original packaging, suggesting it has been well-preserved. This collectible toy likely dates from the late 1990s or early 2000s, aligning with the release of 'Blues Brothers 2000' (1998). Its quality is indicative of standard Johnny Lightning die-cast models, known for their attention to detail in replicating famous vehicles.
