NIGO’s Mercedes-Benz Project G-Class Past II Future, previously at the center of a SoHo unveiling, can soon be yours. In miniature form, at least.

Starting Friday, April 18, the Mattel Creations shop will be offering the Hot Wheels x Mercedes-Benz Project G-Class Past II Future, designed by NIGO, for $80. The remarkably detail-oriented approach taken with this collectible renders the custom Hot Wheels experience as close to the real thing as possible, complete with removable hardtop and replica custom Moncler interior.

Other key features of the 1:64 scale replica of this sought-after art piece include an acrylic display case, custom Real Riders wheels (made from real rubber), and a replica sound system.

"I always refer to the past,” NIGO previously said of the artistic intention behind his G-Class design. “In Japan, there is a saying that goes: Learn from the past to create something new.”

Below, get a closer look at the limited-edition Hot Wheels version of NIGO's latest creation.
