For fans of the show — like myself — the Rotsun has seen many lives. From its days as a rusty, old 240Z (bought for only $500), to racing autocross down the road from me at Westworld of Scottsdale, to competing — well, trying to — at the 24 hours of Lemons; the Rotsun has taken on a persona of its own.

Hot Wheels Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z (Rotsun), a 2020 MotorTrend / Roadkill Exclusive
Thanks to this special promotion by Hot Wheels x MotorTrend, Hot Wheels collectors received the “before version” back in June, complete with a one-of-a-kind, rust deco on the existing Hot Wheels #Datsun 240Z casting. The second part of the package deal which also included a year’s subscription to the MotorTrend app is the Rotsun which is a completely new Hot Wheels casting designed by famed Hot Wheels premium designer, Mark Jones.

Hot Wheels Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z “Rotsun” (after), a 2020 MotorTrend / Roadkill Exclusive with the Datsun 240Z (before) … Head-to-Head
Since there was an overwhelming response to the subscription offer when it went on sale back in April, Hot Wheels and MotorTrend decided to (once again) present a limited time offer to Hot Wheels collectors: the Rotsun plus a year’s subscription to the MotorTrend App for only $29.99. So, if you missed out on the Rotsun, you still have a chance to own the newest premium Hot Wheels car. NOTE: Collectors that placed their orders back in April will still receive their Rotsun as part of the original package deal. Rotsun is expected to ship in November.

Hot Wheels Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z (Rotsun), a 2020 MotorTrend / Roadkill Exclusive (side view)
The Rotsun is in rare company as far as Hot Wheels #Promotional Vehicles go as not many castings have been created from scratch with that sole purpose. Hot Wheels could have simply applied some extra graphic details to the #Datsun 240Z casting, but no… they went all-in with by creating the #Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z (Rotsun) casting. They even added the mismatched set of #Real Riders with a varying rim-to-tire size (back vs. front) just like the real car.

Suffice to say, there was a virtual convention, but without the in-person hypefest that usually persists, it just wasn’t the same. Mattel plans toys 18 months in advance (on average), so there was no predicting COVID-19 or its displacement factor, hence why the yearly #SDCC Exclusives were still made — and subsequently released. The absence of an event forced Mattel to sell the SDCC exclusives online via the Mattel Creations web site to the general public.

Given their low runs and one-off toolings, these releases probably don’t net Mattel much in profit, but SDCC is all about the cool factor and releases like this certainly convey that.
