Hot Wheels RLC 1986 Nissan 720 King Cab #1

The Hot Wheels 1986 Nissan 720 King Cab, catalog number HMY26, is a collector’s model released as an RLC Exclusive, available solely through the Red Line Club. This 1:64 scale replica is aimed at adult collectors and fans of Japanese mini-trucks and American custom culture; it is distinguished from a standard toy car by its metal base, rubber tires, Spectraflame paint, and a movable, adjustable truck bed.

The 1986 Nissan 720 King Cab casting was designed by Brendon Vetuskey, making its debut in this very series in 2024—HMY26 is thus the first release of the casting. During the development phase, it was known as the 1986 Nissan 720 King Cab Mini Truck. Its most significant design feature is the truck bed, which is mounted on a pivoting plastic arm with two ball joints, allowing it to be adjusted into various positions—a direct reference to the hydraulically modified mini-trucks of the 1980s.

The model is finished in Spectraflame dark purple, a translucent, deep purple coating applied directly over polished metal, reserved for the brand's most exclusive releases. The decorations are exceptionally detailed: "NISSAN" lettering on the sides and rear, silver trim, "Twisted," "Red Line Club," "Brandon," and "Coco" markings on the rear window, white Hot Wheels license plates with the text "TWSTD86" on the front and back, refined headlights, taillights, and interior, and even a frame from the Masters of the Universe series displayed on the screen of the replicated television. The base is metallic silver and made of metal, the windows have a medium tint, and the interior is crafted in a black and purple scheme. The model rolls on CMiniRR5SPM wheels, which are five-spoke Real Riders with reduced-size rubber tires. The country of origin is China.

The original vehicle is the Nissan 720, sold in some markets as the Datsun 720—a compact pickup produced from 1979 to 1986, and offered in certain countries until 1993. It replaced the 620 model and was available in a standard cab version as well as a King Cab variant with an extended cab, across several trim levels. It was assembled in many Nissan factories and sold under various trade names. After production ended, the 720 became one of the most popular bases for customization—especially in the lowered mini-truck scene, to which this casting directly pays tribute.

For a collector, HMY26 is one of the most refined items in the Red Line Club catalog. The movable truck bed, hidden interior details, Spectraflame paint, and two-tone finish ensure the model has more to discover than a typical toy car—and RLC releases are not available through standard retail channels.
