Here it is, “The Midas Monkey”, which was long awaited by Hot Wheels collectors after appearing in a 2015 episode of Fast N’ Loud on Discovery Channel. In the episode, the guys at Gas Monkey Garage built the real 1:1 version of this ’68 Corvette in an attempt to impress […]
Chances are, if you were collecting 20 years ago, you remember the influx of #Ex-Corgi Castings that appeared in the Hot Wheels mainline starting in the summer of 1997. Whether you liked them or thought their proportions were too far off from your standard Hot Wheels vehicle, they are […]
We have a tank! All apologies to the #Tanknator aside, this is the first realistic tank released in a Hot Wheels line since 1997 when we saw the last releases of the Command Tank and Tough Customer tank castings. The #UNSC Scorpion is a brand-new, #First Edition tank […]
You have to love what the Hot Wheels team is doing with their #Porsches as of late. After not having the licenses for Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari for the last few years, they’ve brought on #Magnus Walker and his brand #Urban Outlaw to give some of their Porsches that #Race […]

Okay, since I stated it yesterday that we couldn’t have #Mongoose without #Snake (and vice versa). Today, we have #Don Prudhomme‘s Snake Funny Car from the same 2005 #Mongoose & Snake Drag Race Set. It was Don Prudhomme’s appearance at Barrett-Jackson this last weekend here in Phoenix, that served […]
Arguably the most famous rivalry in racing history was #Snake & Mongoose. Their story, which can be seen in the 2013 movie titled, Snake & Mongoose, is unique in the diecast world as its weaved within that of the history of Hot Wheels itself. The movie was incredibly entertaining — […]
When the Hot Wheels #C-3PO character car casting was first released in 2015, collectors scooped up any and every one they could find due to its close resemblance to the Hot Wheels #Volkswagen Drag Bus. Two years later, that demand no longer exists as these are currently hanging at […]
