Aftermarket manufacturers and Hot Wheels have long had a relationship — its custom 1:64 cars meets custom 1:1 cars. Until recently, however, that relationship didn’t extend past the tampo as far as Hot Wheels are concerned. This car had Edelbrock graphics, this one had Mooneyes, so on and […]
#Replica Entertainment has produced some stellar recreations of #TV & Movie Cars since the line’s inception in 2013 as the “Retro Entertainment” line. In 2016 though, the line made a momentary shift to also include vehicles from popular racing videos games. The last two mixes for the year […]
