Definitely Torch Red / Black Interior with a 2021 license plate on the back.

Hallmark rarely makes them with opening features. The best you can hope for are rolling wheels. They have not made a C3 or C4, but have C1, C2, C5, C6, C7 and now C8.
there are a couple of prototype models (mako shark, and 2009 C7 concept)


just saw these are are coming out in 1/64 scale.




MiniGT C8.R

Appreciate your updates SZabol. Ironic timing on your last post as I picked up that #3 C8.R MiniGT model at Petite Le Mans this past weekend. Very well done! Unfortunately they didn't have the #4 car otherwise would have gotten that as well.

My wife recently picked up the Hallmark ornament and I have say it looks good to me. Larger than I was expecting (since I am a first time Vette owner no experience with past year Hallmark ornaments) and we will definitely be putting it on the tree this year.

My ‘20 C8 Base Coupe is now almost perfect as is, may soon get the stick on low wing to change it up a bit. So C8 models are cheap and fun to look for when I shop. Come on Target I need the blue one.


Got these at Corvettes at Carlisle ‘21

‘14 C7 and ‘20 C8 Hallmark

My favorite to date

The panel fit is better than on my ‘20 C8 at $4.14 x 10 to -4 the cost. Go figure.

Couple HW C8.Rs will be coming out soon. Car Culture series which I think goes for like 6 bucks as the quality is better. The Black one will be almost impossible to find sounds like.

Got a couple of those black ones. Plus all the other C8.R colorways.



Just don't have the redeemable physical version of the gold C8.R NFT below. White NFT is 6x more rare than gold (250 minted vs 1500).

My local CVS now has the 5” long Kinsmart C8 (model KT5432) for just a few bucks. Matches the Kinsmart C7.R in size. Now waiting for a 5” Kinsmart C8.R. And, it has roll-back action!

All 9 Hot Wheels C8.R variants that I'm aware of parked starting from the patch of grass forward. The 2 rarest ones are boxed in front:



The 2 rarest ones again, "loose" and unopened:



The gold one was a physically redeemable NFT from my collection below among other GM favorites. The white C8.Rs are the rarest (not physically redeemable):



Bonus: Mando's Route 66 garage with his speeder bike, a gray C8, and a "barn find" C2 "for sale" with Grogu [literally] hanging out.
