JDM fans can now build one of Japan’s most iconic performance cars, brick by brick, quite literally.

Mattel Brick Shop has teamed up with Nissan for the first time to create a scale replica of the 1971 Nissan Skyline (KPGC10) 2000GT-R, better known among enthusiasts as the Hakosuka.

Unveiled at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, the 1:16-scale model consists of 833 interlocking pieces and recreates the legendary coupe in its classic white racing livery with red stripes.

What makes the set appealing to both kids and adult enthusiasts is its attention to detail, from the flared wheel arches to the gauges on the instrument panel, along with extensive customization options that let builders recreate the Skyline as either a road-going car or a full-fledged racecar.

What's more, builders can choose between steel wheels or the iconic eight-spoke RS Watanabe-style wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 intermediate tires that adds a great deal of realism to the build.

It also features functional steering, opening doors, and a hood that lifts to reveal a replica of the car’s twin-cam engine with red valve covers.

Beyond recreating a road-going version, the set also includes race-spec parts to transform the miniature into the iconic touring car, including a front chin spoiler, red headlight covers, and an external oil cooler inspired by the original race car.

Rounding out the package is a decal sheet featuring period-correct 1970s racing graphics, allowing builders to recreate the Hakosuka’s classic competition livery. Among the details is the PMC-S script, a reference to the Prince Motor Club, the official racing team and enthusiast organization of the Prince Motor Company and the red Skyline heart.

What’s more, Mattel sweetens the deal with a metal signature plate and an exclusive matching 1:64-scale Hot Wheels die-cast, giving collectors two versions of the iconic Nissan in one package.

The new set expands Mattel Brick Shop’s growing lineup of automotive collectibles, which includes models from brands such as Honda, Toyota, Chevrolet, and Mercedes-Benz.

Following the introduction of Japanese icons such as the Honda Civic EF and S2000, the Hakosuka adds another enthusiast favorite to the mix.

For JDM enthusiasts, this is more than just another toy building set. It is a chance to recreate the car that helped put the GT-R badge on the map, complete with the racing details that made the original a Japanese motorsport icon.

The Mattel Brick Shop x Hot Wheels 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R is scheduled to hit stores in January 2027.
