Hot Wheels Hirohata Merc Rod Squad 1:64 Diecast Car - 4/10

Bring a legend to your shelf

Meet the Hot Wheels Hirohata Merc Rod Squad diecast car, a compact tribute to one of the most influential custom builds in car culture. Sized at 1:64, this edition is number 4 of 10 in the Rod Squad series, designed for serious collectors and curious fans who enjoy authentic detailing in a small scale. The model captures the essence of the original with a sleek silhouette, a dropped roofline, and a balanced stance that you can admire up close on display or while adding to a track layout for casual play.

Despite its small footprint, the attention to surface detail is notable. The body lines are crisp, the chrome accents catch the light, and the paint finish reads as period-correct while staying durable for everyday handling. The 3-inch length makes it easy to group with other 1:64 vehicles, letting you build compact scenes or a diverse modern shelf of Rod Squad editions.
