In a rather surprising turn of events, our friends at Mattel just revealed the latest piece to join their line up of SDCC exclusives; as you may have already guessed it’s none other than the Hot Wheels Spider Machine GP7 from Toei’s Spider-Man!
For those unfamiliar with the Toei’s take on the iconic web-slinger: Spider-Man in this show is a motorcycle racer named Takuya Yamashiro. He gains spider powers to fight off the Iron Cross Army. In addition to being used as transportation, the Spider Machine GP7 activates a warship called the Marveller, which can transform into a giant robot called Leopardon, and that very car is faithfully recreated here by Hot Wheels.
Do note that attendees must pre-order off Mattel’s website first, then confirm their badge number at Mattel’s booth at SDCC the day of the show. Pre-orders will not ship out until after SDCC comes to a close.
At the moment, we don’t know if Mattel plans on releasing this piece to mass retail once SDCC is over, but we’ll be sure to give you an update once more info regarding this is available.
This is rather unexpected, but Hot Wheels will be releasing a Spider Machine G7 replica from Toei's Spider man!
You can pre order now from Mattel]'s web site but pre orders won't ship out till after SDCC ends
Alternatively, you can reserve it on the website and pick it up at Mattel's booth on the day of the show.
$15 on Mattel's website, no idea if they'll release it to the public after the show ends.
Well I definitely need that.
If anyone is headed to SDCC and wouldn't mind picking this up for me, then I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd love to have one.
I don't think they'll release this to brick-n-mortar because the average consumer doesn't know of the Toei Spider-Man!
They once had that series up for streaming (briefly), and while that series' protagonist and Leopardon have appeared in the comics, they just aren't well known enough for this to appear in a random Walmart!
I would like to have it, but it would have to be ordered at best!

Yeah, pretty obscure thing to make merch of but that's con exclusives for you. Cool but not worth the scalper/resale price.
And the attendee pre-orders are sold out.
Cool! For “The Emissary of Death” Supaidaman!
I don't even like Hot Wheels.
But I do like this. Never imagined this would be released like this.
