Mattel Malaysia has announced the introduction of a new 1:64 Proton Saga scale model to its Hot Wheels die-cast collection, with the release, part of its 2025 Case B box, set to debut this weekend.
Collectors wanting to try their luck at being among the first to get the model can do so at the Hot Wheels Malaysia Case B carton unboxing event happening this October 11-13 at the LG2 Blue Concourse, Sunway Pyramid.
The new offering is the second mainline Hot Wheels Saga to come about, and features a white body colour compared to the inaugural version‘s red. However, the colour is the only difference, with previous details such as the ‘Saga’ logo graphic from the 1985 model on the rear door, the Hot Wheels logo on the front door and set of AeroDisc plastic wheels continuing to feature.
The collaboration between Hot Wheels and Proton to produce the first-generation Proton Saga as a 1:64 model was announced in December 2022 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mattel Malaysia. The red Saga was first sold through the mainline 2024 Case B box that was distributed in October last year.
A limited edition version of the Saga also went on sale last April, featuring a blister card image designed by nine-year-old Saw Jane Harn from Penang, who won the Hot Wheels x Proton Kids Design Competition in 2023.
