The story behind the Bump Around
The Bump Around is a unique entry in the Hot Wheels world because it combines playful design with serious collector status. Released in 2018 as part of the HW Fun Park series, this model stands out for its whimsical shape that mimics bumper cars found at amusement parks. Designed by Jun Imai, the car captures the fun spirit of carnival rides while maintaining the high standards expected from Mainline releases. What makes it truly special is its Treasure Hunt rarity. This designation means it was produced in limited numbers and marked with a distinctive flame logo on the card or base. Collectors often hunt for these specific models because they are harder to find than standard cars. The Bump Around offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and exclusivity, making it a desirable addition to any focused collection.
Materials, colors and value
This 1/64 scale model features a plastic body that allows for its unusual rounded shape. The color variations include Burgundy with Metalflake Maroon accents, solid Purple bodies, and bases in bright Yellow or Black interiors depending on the specific casting version found. Since it is a Treasure Hunt item, condition matters significantly to value. Unopened cards generally command higher prices due to the protected nature of the vehicle inside. Loose examples are still sought after but vary widely based on paint quality and wheel integrity. The combination of its unique theme and limited production run ensures that it remains interesting to both casual fans and dedicated investors looking for rare HW Fun Park pieces.
Questions about the Bump Around
How do I identify a genuine Bump Around Treasure Hunt?+
Look for the small orange flame logo printed on the base of the car or displayed prominently on the packaging. This symbol indicates it is part of the limited Treasure Hunt series rather than a standard Mainline release. The 2018 HW Fun Park version will also list SKU FKB35, which helps verify authenticity when comparing against official production records.
Is the Bump Around considered rare today?+
Yes, it holds a higher rarity status because it was released as a Treasure Hunt model. These cars are produced in smaller quantities compared to regular Mainline issues and are intentionally hidden among standard stock during distribution cycles. Their limited availability makes them harder to locate on store shelves years after the initial 2018 release date.
What materials is the Bump Around made of?+
The body is constructed from durable plastic, which allows for the complex curved design typical of bumper car themes. Unlike some Premium models that feature metal bodies, this casting relies on molded plastic components to achieve its specific shape and lighter weight feel while still maintaining structural integrity for display purposes.
