The story behind the Sting Rod II
The Sting Rod II made a wild return in 2018 as part of the Dino Riders series within the core Mainline assortment. Unlike standard releases, this version is a Treasure Hunt model designed by Jun Imai. It features an adventurous look with rugged details like skid plates and roof mounts to fit its prehistoric theme. The car shows off blue Spectraflame paint that glitters under light along with detailed dinosaur graphics on the side panels. Because it carries the special flame logo, this is a limited run item for shoppers hunting down rare finds from the 2018 lineup.
Materials, colors and value
This diecast model comes in a standard 1/64 scale and uses plastic parts for its base material construction.

It also includes yellow wheels that contrast sharply against the dark body colors. Being a limited edition model from over five years ago, it is harder to locate in stores today. Collectors usually seek out this version for its unique theme and special finish.
