Jeep® Gladiator Marks Final Matchbox Super Chase for 2024

Matchbox collectors and enthusiasts are buzzing about the Jeep® Gladiator, the final Super Chase release of 2024 from the brand’s popular Moving Parts series. The Gladiator has become a fan-favorite design by Abe Lugo that has captured attention since its debut in 2023.

The Matchbox Moving Parts series has cemented itself as a favorite among collectors for its blend of nostalgia, functionality, and accessibility. Unlike static diecast models, the Moving Parts series introduces interactive features that bring miniature vehicles to life. This innovation caters to seasoned collectors and casual fans who enjoy models offering more than just aesthetic appeal.

What Makes the Jeep® Gladiator Super Chase Special? – 

The Matchbox Super Chase line is famous for its limited availability and vibrant orange theme, which signifies its exclusivity. The Jeep Gladiator, first introduced as part of the basic Matchbox lineup in 2023, now headlines the Moving Parts series with its premium collectible status.

This release highlights the Gladiator’s versatile design, including a detachable rear rack—an innovative feature that appeals to die-cast enthusiasts. The orange Super Chase variant has quickly become a coveted item, with listings on secondary markets like eBay ranging from $20 to $40. Despite its popularity, it remains more affordable than Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt (STH) models, making it an attainable treasure for many collectors.

Why the Jeep® Gladiator Stands Out – 

While the Moving Parts series offers a variety of engaging models, the Jeep Gladiator Super Chase is a clear standout. Its iconic orange color and limited production make it a collector’s dream. Fans of the Gladiator also appreciate its realistic features, which reflect the rugged appeal of the full-sized Jeep vehicle.

For collectors who missed the chance to grab one, there’s still time to find this piece at reasonable prices. The Gladiator is the perfect sendoff for Matchbox’s 2024 Super Chase lineup, leaving fans eager for what 2025 might bring.
