Description[]

The Preying Menace is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Rob Matthes which debuted in the 2006 First Editions . It's name is a play on words of the insect it is inspired by; the Preying Mantis. Originally the casting featured an opening canopy, but in 2015 the casting was retooled with this feature removed. The casting was retooled again in 2018, with the canopy made smaller.
