Description[]
Sky Busters is an international series of 1/64 scale aircraft that first debuted under Hot Wheels in 2013, designed in conjunction with Matchbox by Mark Jones and Leo Zugner. Some graphics were designed by Michael Heralda. Models were released under the HW City label until 2016. Some releases began using plastic inserts instead of wheel types around 2017. Tooling identification numbers are listed on the base of each model near a raised Thailand Elephant. Toy numbers are listed on packaging.
All models were released under the Matchbox brand name and "SB-###" collector number system in the United States.
