Hot Wheels 2025 Silver Series Tooned "GULF"

The Tooned Gulf Series from Hot Wheels brings together five captivating vehicles, each crafted by two of the most iconic designers in the industry: Fraser Campbell and Ryu Asada. Among the standout models is the Tooned VW Golf Mk1, part of Ryu Asada’s impressive portfolio. Released as part of the 2022 Mainline, this car made waves when it appeared in the 2023 Treasure Hunt series, and it would have certainly made a greater impact as a Super Treasure Hunt (STH). The Gulf Racing Blue livery, paired with Fuchs-inspired C5 wheels, ensures that this model remains a fan favorite and avoids becoming a peg warmer.

While the VW Golf Mk1 stands out for its Gulf-themed design, the '70 Dodge Charger designed by Fraser Campbell makes its mark as well. With its link to the Fast & Furious franchise, this iconic vehicle evokes nostalgia for Toretto's Charger from the first movie. Despite initial skepticism towards the Tooned lineup, the right livery, like that of the Charger, can transform a model into a must-have collectible.

Another popular inclusion in the Tooned Gulf Series is the '83 Chevy Silverado, which has been part of the Mainline series since 2022. With five variations over three years, this truck in Gulf Racing Blue continues to build excitement among collectors. Whether it’s the blown engine or the combination of classic style and modern details, this model’s appeal is undeniable. It’s a great addition to the series, and the inclusion of a pickup truck proves that the Tooned series is constantly evolving.

Lastly, the Manga Tuner, a Tooned version of Jun Imai’s Mad Manga, rounds out the collection. While it’s a tribute to the Bosozoku-style racers, its color scheme may not appeal to all collectors, which could make it the set’s unofficial peg warmer. That said, the Manga Tuner remains an important part of the series, offering a unique style that may appeal to those who appreciate the diversity of the Tooned range.
