Confirmed 2023 Release

Collector references identify HXM64 as the 2023 Matchbox release of Ground Grabber, issued as 27/100 in the mainline assortment.

Original Construction Vehicle Design

Ground Grabber is a Matchbox original casting styled as a wheeled excavator, with a raised cab, articulated digging arm, and heavy-duty worksite character rather than being based on a specific licensed real-world vehicle.

Distinctive Yellow Mainline Version

This release is recognized for its yellow and grey construction color scheme, Matchbox Construction graphics, articulated excavator arm, and black wheels with yellow ring accents, giving it a strong jobsite-ready look in 1:64 scale.

Part of the 2023 Matchbox Lineup

The model’s 27/100 numbering places it clearly within the 2023 Matchbox range, where it appears among that year’s off-road and utility-themed releases.

Strong Collector Appeal

Because it combines a clearly documented 2023 mainline placement with classic Matchbox construction styling and functional-looking design, this version stands out for collectors of Matchbox, work vehicles, and utility-themed castings.
