In 2002, Hot Wheels brought the #Hot Wheels Race Team back to the mainline after its disappearance as a segment series in 1998. The only thing was, it was no longer a typical segment series that was designated by series name. Rather, it was a hidden segment series […]
We just couldn’t escape the week without showing you the Hot Wheels 1966 TV Series Batmobile. Its hard to believe but ABC aired the original “Batman” TV Series 50 years ago this week. Sure, we laugh about Batman & Robin running around in leotards throwing Zip! Zang! and Pow! […]
Today we are throwing it all the way back today to 1989 — the reemergence of the modern day Batman and the best Batmobile of all! …Granted, “my Batman” was Michael Keaton (given my age). Check out the “Batman Scene” below (from the movie Neighbors) to see what […]
The Toyota Supra that defined The Fast and the Furious movie franchise finally made it to the Hot Wheels mainline in 2013. Fans of the franchise and Hot Wheels were enamored for two reasons: one, the Supra and the ’70 Dodge Charger from the first movie were finally released, […]
Although it shares the same name as the Hot Wheels ’70 Chevelle SS casting (an all-time collector favorite introduced in 1999), the Hot Wheels ’70 Chevy Chevelle SS casting (introduced in 2013) bares no resemblance.

The IROC Firebird is truly an under-appreciated casting given its real-life racing history. Granted, the International Race Of Champions (IROC) Race had always been run and raced like a professional sports all-star game where the selection of “all-stars” is always a little suspect and the format usually favors […]
The Hot Seat lives in Hot Wheels infamy due to its absurd concept and grotesque nature. Some collectors hate it, some collectors love it, some collectors just love to hate it. Whatever your idea is of it now, I actually remember this being quite a hot casting back in […]
Towards the end of the last year of the last millennium (1999), Hot Wheels slipped in four Ferrari castings: Ferrari 456M, Ferrari F50 (hardtop), and the Ferrari F355 in both the Challenge and Spider trim levels. Had this happened in 2015, it would have been a much bigger deal given […]
The Hi-Roller is a brand-new, 2016 New Model that has slowly been turning heads. This luxury hi-boy coupe screams classic Las Vegas and is most likely the reason why the name is what it is. Hot Wheels designer, Fraser Campbell did a terrific job on this one giving […]
