Scion xB

Scion xB
Debut series	2005 First Editions: X‑Raycers
Produced	2005 – 2016
Designer	Raffy Gonzalez
Number	G6710

Description

The Scion xB was released as part of the X-Raycers sub-series in the 2005 First Editions. This casting is of the "'Tooned" variety as its specifications are a tad exaggerated. The Scion xB is based on the actual production model, a rebranded Toyota bB. Scion was a youth-oriented vehicle brand of the Toyota Motor Company, created in 2003 until its shut down in 2016. Most releases of the casting use transparent X-Raycers-style bodies.

This casting was designed by Raffy Gonzalez and was one of his two known designs. A notable feature of the xB is its pop-off body; all versions of the casting until 2010 had this feature until it was removed. Color Shifters releases of the Scion xB retain this however. A pocket bike is stowed in the rear of the trunk; this is a homage to the Hot Wheels design team, who had a number of members with pocket bikes at the time and would "rip around in the parking lot" during after hours.
