Hot Wheels PREMIUM Fast & Furious '95 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The Hot Wheels '95 Mitsubishi Eclipse, catalog number HCP29, is a collector's model from the Premium line, released in the Replica Entertainment: Fast & Furious series as item 1/5. This 1:64 scale replica is aimed at adult collectors and fans of the "Fast & Furious" film saga, distinguished from standard toy cars by its metal base, rubber Real Riders tires, and detailed tampos.

The '95 Mitsubishi Eclipse casting is the work of Mark Jones and debuted in 2019 in the Fast & Furious: Original Fast series under number GBW81. The 2022 HCP29 version is finished in green and features the full movie livery: blue and white "waves" on the sides, "Toyo Tires" lettering on the wheel arch, a gloss black painted hood, and detailed headlights and taillights. The base is matte black and made of metal, the windows have a smoke tint, and the interior is black. The model rolls on black RR6SPM wheels, which are six-spoke Real Riders with rubber tires. It was manufactured in Indonesia.

The model was created as part of a collaboration between Hot Wheels and the Fast & Furious license, recreating the specific movie car—the green Eclipse driven by Brian O'Conner, played by Paul Walker, in the first "Fast & Furious" film from 2001. This car opens the entire film saga and is one of the most recognizable in cinema history; its signature green and blue wave graphics have become its trademark. The Replica Entertainment series, in which this edition was released, is dedicated exclusively to vehicles from the film universe and is produced in smaller quantities than standard Premium releases.

The original vehicle is a second-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse, produced starting in 1995 as a front-wheel-drive or—in the top-tier GSX variant—all-wheel-drive sports coupe. The most powerful versions were powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4G63T engine, the same engine family found in the Lancer Evolution. This generation of Eclipse was noted for its softly sculpted "bubbly" bodywork and was a pillar of the American tuning scene in the 90s.

For the collector, the HCP29 is an item that combines an iconic movie car with Premium build quality. Models with the Fast & Furious license disappear from the market quickly, and Brian’s green Eclipse is one of the most sought-after pieces in the entire series.
