Description[]
The Scooper is a Hot Wheels casting which debuted in the 1971 Heavyweights Series. It is a futuristic garbage truck with a movable scoop which extends from in front of the cab and into the rear.
It is one of four castings which use the medium sized heavyweights cab, the others being Ambulance, Snorkel and Tow Truck. Once the plastic rear section is removed they are indistinguishable from each other.
It was produced in a variety of Spectraflame colors with Pink being the hardest to find and could be found with either a white or dark brown interior. It was packaged with a plastic 'Collectors Button'.
The Scooper hasn't been seen since 1971.
