Product Description
2021 Hot Wheels TURTOshell Red Chrome Street Beasts 5/5 #172 GTB77 New Model
Add one of Hot Wheels’ most unusual creature-inspired designs to your collection with this 2021 Hot Wheels TURTOshell, featuring a distinctive Red and Chrome finish.
 
Released as #5/5 in the Street Beasts Series and Collector #172/250, TURTOshell combines the appearance of a turtle with a Hot Wheels racer, complete with detailed eyes, a low-profile shell-shaped body, and an eye-catching mismatched wheel setup.
 
This GTB77 variation features red rear and gray front RA6 wheels with white rims, a red interior, and a Metalflake Gray metal base.
 
TURTOshell was introduced as a New Model for 2021 and was inspired by the story of Helix, a real tortoise that was fitted with wheels after being born without the use of its rear legs.
 
Mattel product number GTB77 identifies this second-color 2021 release.
Its unusual origin story, New Model status, Street Beasts theme, mismatched wheels, and metal-base construction make TURTOshell an interesting addition for Hot Wheels fantasy, creature-car, and first-year casting collectors.
 
The car is New in package: See pictures for quality and variations. The card may have some shelf wear on corner and edge.
