New Hot Wheels Road Bandit (Philippine Jeepney) color

The 2nd color for the new Hot Wheels casting called “Road Bandit”, obviously a Philippine Jeepney, is red, and for me it looks even better than the initial yellow offering… The decoration (tampo) appears to be the same.

While I haven't seen a Jeepney with an engine that large and popping out of the hood, the chrome in the engine somewhat replaces the roosters and horses seen above the hood of old Sarao Jeepneys...

Clearly this “Road Bandit” is a superior Jeepney copy compared to Tomica’s “Jamboree”… The proportions are much closer too, compared to the real thing…
