I was fairly happy with this years SDCC selection from Mattel. Not as strong as the heights of Mattycollector eta but a stronger SDCC lineup than most years.
This year Im getting 1 of each item from Mattel and might maybe pick up a second of some of these at the Con to have a loose one.

My guess is not for a long awhile (if ever). So it really depends on how long they have the license and if the line takes off at a high enough level to justify it. Under the best of circumstances the Turtle Van would be 4 or 5 years in. A vehicle as unique as the turtle van takes a lot of upfront costs and resources (which is difficult for a smaller company to invest). Keep in mind that their Stridor and Snake Mountain releases actually had a large chunk of development already done by Mattel (and it was still an undertaking) and the playsets etc theyve done for stuff like reaction are typically fairly simple and heavily reusable for variant and other brandreleases
I think $25 is a bit of a stretch for this.
I dont really collect HotWheels but this is a very cool little vehicle, I only wish they release this van later down the road for regular mass retail, I remember I really wanted last years SDCC Action Comics #1 car and I never got it

Now that is cool, ty for the heads up!!!
Interested in the Turtles van and the Hot Wheels Batmobiles, hope to snag these at a reasonable secondary market price. Mattel really showing up for SDCC!
