Halloween Hot Wheels 2025 - Night Shifter

 Zooming up to the halfway mark, we've got the aptly named Night Shifter.
 

 This is my favorite in the 2025 line up. It's got a great profile and I really like the goofy reaper graphic. Night Shifter has been around since 2016 and coincidentally, this is the 16th version to be released. It's appeared in the 2017 Star Wars Master/Apprentice series and in 2018's Avengers series.
 
From the card back:
Is it a car? Is it a plane? Well, It's got the best of both! Inspired by the raw, mechanical aspects of high-performing race cars and legendary military planes. Night Shifter features twin turbo-chargers as well as two fuel tanks fabricated from military aircraft.  
 

 The best thing about this one is the little circular design up by the window. Inside the orange circle is a reaper head over crossed scythes with the number 31. It would be a cool design for a shirt or hat. I also just noticed the big reaper on this side has two eyes and only one on the other side!
 

I don't know a lot about cars but having those pipes run into the windshield doesn't seem like a good design choice.

  1. Hehe...nah, those pipes don't seem right! At least the car looks cool though!

    1. The more I think about it, I'm wondering if those aren't exhaust but if they're gauges of some kind. I remembered seeing hot rods with gauges that are outside the windshield before.
