Disclosure: I received four Fast & Furious NOS Capsule Collectibles through PlayWise Partners at no cost in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. We have not opened the capsules yet because we’re saving them for Christmas.
Well, buttercup, Santa better buckle up because things are about to get Fast & Furious at our house this Christmas! The only thing missing is Suzzane because like Charlie, David and I she was a die hard #Fast&TheFurious fan because of #VinDisel and his #DodgeCharger.
If only she was here and Charlie to because a package arrived containing four Fast & Furious NOS Capsule Collectibles, also known as Throttle in a Bottle. Before I could even put the into my Christmas Gift Closet David saw them as I was going to hide them, and David tried to claim them for himself! Excuse me, sir! Those are supposed to be Christmas presents! LOL!
And here’s the funny part. These collectibles are recommended for ages 8 and up, but my son Charlie is 19, and I can already tell you he’s going to be all over them. Actually, with Charlie’s 19th birthday on December 19th, these would make wonderful birthday surprises as well as Christmas stocking stuffers. Who says you have to stop enjoying toys just because you grow up?
If you know our family, you know that Fast & Furious isn’t just another movie franchise to us. My daughter Suzzane absolutely loved these movies. We’ve been watching them since the very beginning, and whenever a new movie comes out, we’re among the first people wanting to head to the theater.
We love Vin Diesel, but Paul Walker will always have a special place in our hearts. Charlie especially loved Paul Walker’s character, Brian O’Conner. And don’t even get me started on “See You Again,” the song that reminds us of Paul Walker. We can sing that song word for word. How about you?
For our family, these movies are connected to years of memories, laughter, excitement, and time spent together. And, of course, memories of Suzzane. That’s why these little collectibles mean something special to me. They’re not just toys. They’re reminders of something our family has shared and loved for years.
The Fast & Furious NOS Capsules are mystery collectibles inspired by the Fast & Furious movie universe. Each capsule comes in a bright blue container designed to resemble a NOS bottle. It even has a top with a little handle, making the packaging part of the fun. The collection features 12 fan-favorite character-and-vehicle combinations.
What’s inside each capsule?
- One collectible Fast & Furious character figure
- One miniature vehicle
- One sticker set
- One mini poster
Because these are mystery collectibles, you won’t know which character and vehicle combination you’ve received until you open the capsule. I think that’s part of the excitement! And with 12 different combinations to collect, I can already imagine Charlie wanting to see how many he can find.

I wanted to let you know why I haven’t opened our capsules yet? Because Santa has plans, buttercup! I received four of these collectibles to review, and I’m saving them for Christmas stockings. Charlie hasn’t seen them yet, and I want to keep it that way. Unfortunately, David was home when the package arrived, and he was already trying to snag them.
Hopefully, he’ll forget about them before Christmas morning. And if he doesn’t? Too bad, so sad! I’ll just give them to Charlie. LOL! Or will I keep this Gift for myself. LOL Only time will tell. Since my family hasn’t opened the capsules, I can’t tell you which characters or vehicles we received, how detailed the figures are, or how the toys hold up during play.
Those are things we’ll be able to share after Christmas. For now, I can tell you that I love the packaging, the collectible concept, and the connection to one of our family’s favorite movie franchises. I know somebody is probably going to say, “Glenda, aren’t those toys for little boys?”
Well, buttercup, let me tell you something. When you’re a diehard Fast & Furious fan, and you’ve grown up watching the movies with your parents, age doesn’t really matter when it comes to collecting something you love. Just ask Charlie if you don’t believe me and Bradley to.
Charlie grew up with these movies. David and I have watched them right alongside him. And Suzzane’s love for Fast & Furious makes them even more meaningful to our family. That’s why I think these would be wonderful gifts for boys and girls ages 8 and up, teenagers, and adult fans who enjoy collecting movie memorabilia.
Whether you’re buying one for an eight-year-old or a 19-year-old like Charlie, it’s the excitement of discovering a favorite character that makes these fun. And judging by David’s reaction, grown men might enjoy them just as much! As well as women if your a movie lover like I am.
Now you’ve got me thinking. If Santa is bringing Fast & Furious collectibles, maybe he should bring the movie collection too! We could plan a family movie night with popcorn, snacks, and our favorite drinks. We could sit down together, watch the movies, talk about our favorite characters, and I could remember all the times I watched the movies with Suzzane. And I can almost guarantee somebody will start singing “See You Again.”
That’s what I love about Christmas. Sometimes a little gift tucked inside a stocking can turn into an entire evening of family memories. And those are the moments I treasure most. Although we haven’t opened the collectibles yet, there are several things I already like about them.
The blue NOS-bottle packaging immediately catches your attention, especially if you’re familiar with the movies. The mystery collectible format adds excitement, and I like that each capsule includes both a figure and a vehicle, along with stickers and a mini poster.
At $9.97 each, they’re an option for someone looking for a movie-themed stocking stuffer without spending a fortune. And because they’re small collectibles, they could also work as birthday presents, gift basket additions, or surprises for Fast & Furious fans. I could even see using these to create a #FastandFurious Birthday Cake for Charlie.
Our GreatfulMoments Butterfly Rating: Coming after Christmas!
I want Charlie to open these himself before we give them a full rating. After all, his reaction is part of the fun. Now, buttercup, don’t think Santa stopped with Fast & Furious! We’ve also received WWE Champs Elite Entrance — Series 1 collectibles, and you can bet your bottom dollar those are going to cause just as much excitement at our house.
There are four WWE Superstars to collect, including Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Jey Uso, and Penta. Charlie loves Cody Rhodes, also known as The American Nightmare, and I already know he’s not going to want to share Jey Uso. As for me? If John Cena is inside one of those little entrance vehicles, he’s mine! LOL
And David? Well, considering he already tried to claim the Fast & Furious toys, I have a feeling Santa might need to hide the wrestling collectibles too. Watch for Part Two of our Christmas Gift Guide Wishlist collectible toy reviews, where we’ll take a closer look at WWE Champs Elite Entrance — Series 1, what’s included, and why wrestling fans of all ages might want these in their stockings! We’ll also share where you can purchase them.
I love finding gifts that bring a little excitement into our home, especially when they connect to memories we’ve made as a family. These Fast & Furious NOS Capsule Collectibles might be designed for ages 8 and up, but in our house, they’re bringing smiles to people much older than eight. And that’s perfectly fine with me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to find a better hiding place before David gets any more ideas! LOL!
