Hot Wheels of the Day Porsche 917K Real Riders RELEASE YEAR: 2005 • CASTING DESIGNER: Larry Wood In 2005, it was Kmart stores that catered to the Hot Wheels collector. There were three Kmart Collector Events a year (at the time), and #Kmart Exclusive Hot Wheels nostalgic lines. […]
Like many of you, the majority of my casting collections don’t start with the #First Edition release. I mean, it’s not much of a collection to begin with unless multiple variants are released right off the bat. My affinity for the Hot Wheels #Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 began […]
Do you ever buy a release solely because of its graphics or color combination? I know I do. Even before my days as a graphic designer, I had admired car art. Its one of several factors that got me into collecting Hot Wheels at a very young age. […]
Arguably the best #2017 New Model is the long-overdue, #’95 Madza RX-7. For the last decade or so, collectors have had this popular rotary sports car at the top of their wishlists and this year, the fine folks at Hot Wheels finally obliged as this #First Edition of […]
The #HW Hot Trucks Series #Custom ’56 Ford F-100 is surely one of the Top 10 graphic designs of the #2017 Hot Wheels mainline. Released in a trio of matte colors, this rendition of the customized ’56 #Ford #Truck features a nice, vintage-looking door deco, but its the […]

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 — […]
My fellow #Viper fans rejoice as there is at least one new Dodge Viper in the #2017 Hot Wheels lineup. The #’08 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR returns in a heavenly, metalflake sky blue with a familiar #Speedhunters graphics scheme. This one lands in the 2017 #Night Burnerz Series — a […]
Last year at this time, we were greeted with the first couple assortments of #2016 Hot Wheels in the basic line. Among those, was the #’69 Dodge Charger as part of the #HW Flames Series — the 10 vehicles in this series were voted on by collectors via a […]
