Hot Wheels cars have been around since 1968 and feature a wide-array of licensed and unlicensed vehicles.
In Hot Wheels first full-length movie, the Hot Wheels World Race (2003), 35 drivers competed for the title “World’s Best Driver”. In this animated film, the fictional drivers were from all walks of life. From various professional racers to 16-year-old kids with “talent”, these drivers had to taken on an […]
The Auto Milestones line of 2002 was exclusive to Walmart stores and featured 16 classic cars that redefined the auto industry. 15 of the 16 cars were adorned with Real Rider tires and all cars featured their own auto milestone blurb on back of their card (which was sealed […]
Yesterday, we looked at the #Cool-One from the Super Mario Bros. segment of the Hot Wheels Pop Culture line. As mentioned in that article, the premium tooling now differs from the mainline tooling. As you can see below, in the side-by-side picture, the engine, interior and windows are […]
Its always cool when two favorites can come together in one casting release. For me, it was my love for the #Cool-One casting along with my nostalgia for the #Super Mario video games. When it was announced that the Cool-One would be part of the Nintendo Super Mario […]
The IROC Firebird is truly an under-appreciated casting given its real-life racing history.

Here’s a great lesson for collectors new and old. “Gotta-Have-It-Now” is a sickness. It goes around like the yearly flu and even I, a collector of 20 years, have caught the bug from time to time. One story I have of it comes from August of 2012. The big box […]
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 […]
THIS ARTICLE WAS UPDATED ON JULY 14, 2018 TO INCLUDE NEW PICTURES AND LINKS. If the Hot Wheels #Gremlin Grinder emulated the AMC Gremlin in any way other than the obvious design of the car, it would have to be its short life as a Hot Wheels casting. […]
Before the modern-day Hot Wheels segment series came about in 1995, subsets such as the Gleam Team were groupings of special mainline vehicles. The Gleam Team of 1992, featured 5 cars with colored-chrome, textured bodies (made of plastic). This 3D patterns molded into the bodies were pretty unique […]
In the latest mix of Redline cars from the Hot Wheels #Heritage line came the Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R which is based off of a C110 Skyline that Datsun/Nissan produced from 1972 to 1977. The GT-R run of the C110 Skyline didn’t even make it a full calendar year before […]
