Only the designers at Hot Wheels can successfully take an ice cream truck and turn it into a hot rod! As one of #Mark Jones Designs, the Cool-One first caught the eye of collectors and kids alike when it appeared on the 2004 Hot Wheels “Hot 100” Poster […]
Quick! Get into the #Deora II and lets take a trip back to the early days of the Red Line Club (RLC) over at HotWheelsCollectors.com (HWC). HWC was launched on July 29, 2001 by Mattel/Hot Wheels as a place to have collectors share everything Hot Wheels and as a place […]
The Hot Wheels #Fandango is back and with a metal body to boot! Representing the Spider-Man super villain, Electro, this #Unlicensed Hot Wheels car is showing up as part of the #Kroger Exclusive Ultimate Spider-Man vs. The Sinister 6 Series. As a collector of this Phil Riehlman designed […]
A lot of collectors have been unhappy with the 2016 Treasure Hunts as this hidden series has contained many #Unlicensed Hot Wheels fantasy castings, just like the 2015 installment.

COPO was Chevrolet’s special order system that was notoriously used by dealers to build high-performance cars that were one-of-a-kind. These COPO vehicles were stacked and were mostly used to […]
One of the more under-utilized castings in Hot Wheels history is the Chaparral 2D. It was only used 3 times since its initial 2003 First Editions release.
