Hot Wheels Rolls Out Dodge RLC Tiki Van With Vintage Vibes

If you’re a die-cast collector, Mopar nut, or just a sucker for surf culture, mark your calendar—because Hot Wheels is bringing back a groovy favorite. On May 27, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. EDT / 9:00 a.m. PDT, the Hot Wheels Red Line Club (RLC) is dropping an exclusive, tiki-themed ‘70s Dodge Tradesman Van that’s loaded with retro flair and laid-back California energy.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this casting, but it’s easily the most radical version to date. Drenched in Spectraflame Root Beer paint, this 1:64 scale van captures the free-spirited surfer lifestyle of the 1970s, right down to its batik-style tribal graphics and smoke-tinted windows. The theme here is all about beach vibes, and Hot Wheels nailed it—right down to the brown-and-tan interior that screams vintage tiki lounge on wheels.

Collectors will love the four opening doors, Turbine-style Real Riders wheels, and the ZAMAC body that gives it some serious shelf presence. Underneath, it’s equipped with a full-metal, silver-painted chassis, and like all RLC exclusives, it ships in an acrylic display case with a stylized slipcover. At $37.00 USD, this isn’t your average mainline release—it’s built for serious fans who want standout pieces in their display case. Note: You’ll also need an RLC membership, which costs $9.99, to be eligible to purchase.

Even though this casting is only the second time it’s been offered, demand is expected to be high. So, if you want in, be ready to hit the site the moment it goes live.

Trust me—this tiki van is more than just a collectible. It’s a rolling reminder of sun-drenched freedom, boardshorts, and good vibes. Be sure to check out the Mattel Creations website on Tuesday for your chance to add one (or maybe two) to your collection.
