Johnny Lightning 'Hollywood On Wheels' The Blues Brothers 2000 Police Car

This item is a Johnny Lightning 'Hollywood On Wheels' series die-cast model vehicle, specifically a replica of the black and white police car from the movie 'The Blues Brothers 2000'. The model is presented in its original, unopened blister packaging. The packaging features a vibrant blue, purple, and yellow card with a clear plastic bubble enclosing the vehicle. The top of the card bears the 'Johnny Lightning' logo, and beneath it, 'Hollywood On Wheels' is displayed in a stylized marquee-like font. Key features highlighted on the packaging include 'Authentic Replicas of Famous TV and Movie Vehicles' and 'Die-Cast Metal Body AND Chassis'. A 'BONUS ShowCard' is also mentioned, visible within the sealed blister as a small rectangular card promoting 'The Blues Brothers 2000'. The car itself is predominantly black with white doors and roof, mimicking a standard police patrol car. A circular emblem, likely a police crest, is visible on the white portion of the front doors. The wheels are black, featuring a five-spoke design typical of the era. The vehicle appears to be in pristine condition, as it is sealed in its original packaging, suggesting no immediate wear or damage. The packaging itself shows minor signs of handling, but no significant creasing, tears, or scuffs that would indicate major distress. The back of the package, though not fully visible, likely offers more information about the series or other models to collect, as indicated by the 'COLLECT ALL 8!' text. There is also a prominent 'WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - small parts. Not for children under 3 years' label at the bottom, signifying it as a collectible or toy for older children/adults. The style period is likely late 1990s to early 2000s, given the 'Blues Brothers 2000' tie-in and the general aesthetic of Johnny Lightning packaging from that era. The die-cast metal construction indicates a certain level of quality and durability for a model of this type.
