1990 Hot Wheels Mazda MX-5 Miata (Green)

This item is a die-cast toy car, specifically a Hot Wheels model representing a 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata. It features a glittery metallic teal-green paint finish on its metal body, simulating the iconic sports car's convertible design. The interior is molded in a light beige or cream-colored plastic, depicting seats, a dashboard, and potentially a steering wheel, characteristic of the MX-5's styling. The windshield frame and roll-bar structure appear to be a separate black plastic component, providing a contrast to the body color and interior. The wheels are black plastic with a simple five-spoke or similar design, typical of Hot Wheels from that era, and are recessed into the wheel wells. The overall construction is robust, made primarily of die-cast metal for the body and plastic for the interior, chassis (though not visible), and wheels. Visible condition issues include potential minor paint chips or surface wear consistent with a toy of its age and likely play history, though specific chips are not clearly discernible in the provided image. The scale is typical of Hot Wheels, generally 1:64. This particular model, given the '1990 Hot Wheels' context, would fall into the 'First Editions' or mainline series from around that period. The craftsmanship is consistent with mass-produced toy vehicles, focusing on recognizable car shapes and basic detailing rather than high-fidelity replica accuracy, which is standard for Hot Wheels products. There are no clearly visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps in the provided image, but 'Hot Wheels' and likely 'Mattel, Inc.' would be embossed on the underside chassis.
