Star Wars Hot Wheels Starships Select

I didn't collect a lot of the original Hot Wheels ships, apart from the Resistance and concept ships. I never felt they were as good as the Titanium line. However, the newer Starships Select line is pretty impressive. These are larger than the original line and have better paintwork.

Detail-wise, I would place them behind the DeAgostini or Altaya lines, and probably a little better than Titanium. Paint is great, but I'm not a fan of the overly dark wash on most ships. However, I love the poseable ball joint stands, which are a real nice touch for displays.

For scaling and sizes, see my Hot Wheels list with all of the original and "Select" series ships I own.

What was unused Return of the Jedi art, I think it evolved great for TROS. I love this model and paintwork. The stand allows full rotation, however the cockpit only rotates 90 degrees one direction.

Pretty nice. I'm glad it's not coated in weathering. The weird rod at the back between the pods is very strange.

I really think this one is too dark with the wash. Some details look a little off. I prefer the MGS version.

I really love this design, and Hot Wheels did a great job with this one. The gun turrets rotate, as do the thrusters.

Not bad, but it's a little bit stretched, especially the windscreen.

The 2025 SDCC release was true chrome, this one was more silver.

Love this release - great look.

Really great overall. I love how the wings open correctly.

Great paint, but it doesn't swivel.

Really nice colors, and the wings rotate.

Nice proportions, but too dark.

Great proportions, but the folding wings look bad, and I'm not sure what's up with the paintjob.

A little dark, but it looks great on a shelf.

Decent overall, could be better but could be worse.

Too bumpy with too deep/wide panel lines.

The proportions are pretty good, not much to fault here.
