Hot Wheels 1:64 Colour Shifters Die-Cast Car

The Hot Wheels Colour Shifters range does something no standard die-cast car does: it changes colour with water. Dip the car in cold water and the paint shifts to a completely different colour scheme. Put it in warm water and it changes back. You can do this repeatedly — the thermochromic paint is built to hold up through many cycles of use, not just a few novelty moments.

This is priced at KES 1,650 per piece at Toyzoona and sold one car at a time. Models are assorted and selected at random. The specific vehicle you receive will vary, but all come from the same Colour Shifters format: 1:64 scale, die-cast metal body, authentic Hot Wheels styling.

The colour change works because of thermochromic pigments in the paint. These pigments are sensitive to temperature. Cold water (around 10°C or below) triggers the colour shift. Warm water (around 35°C or above) reverses it. The result is that one car effectively has two completely different looks, which is why Mattel positions this as "two cars in one."

At 1:64 scale, each car is approximately 7 to 8 centimetres long — the same footprint as standard Hot Wheels cars. These are fully compatible with Hot Wheels tracks and most standard die-cast playsets, so kids can use them exactly as they would any other Hot Wheel, then bring water play into the session as a separate activity.
