NOTE: This is a modified reissue of an existing model, and this review will focus on the changes made between the cars. You can see the original review for more details.

Background

Monster Jam moved to MAVTV in 2023, a network owned by Lucas Oil and featuring motorsports coverage from the worlds of road, track, off-road, dirt, drag, drift. motorcycle, and boat racing.

 

Packaging

This uses the same open packaging as we saw last year, with the only differences being the co-sells on the back being updated to Soldier Fortune, Calavera, and Zombie.

 

Casting/Paint

The only casting difference between this and the Street Justice version is that the wheels are now black with silvery-gray tires. It's a cool look, with a kind of "space rover" vibe. Otherwise, the changes are all paint, with a slightly glossier main body (the full-gloss panels on the previous release remain glossier still), darker lines going to the afterburner, and black shock absorbers. The wheels have a paint app for the first time, bright yellow beadlock rings. The contingency sponsor stickers on the chassis are the same as 2022, but are on a black background to match 2023's chassis color.

 

Features/Accessories

This package contains only the 1/24 scale truck.

 

Accuracy

Probably less accurate as a true Monster Jam vehicle with the new tires, but they look cool so who cares?

 

Overall

Kudos to Spin Master: even using the same mold, they've come up with a paint scheme that makes it totally unique while still fitting the look and feel of the character.
