Every so often, the Hot Wheels Graphics Team is let loose and they able to exercise some creative freedom. Back in 2003, Hot Wheels Graphic Designers MiQ Willmott and Wayne Scott collaborated on this graphic design featured on the #Vairy 8 in the open vamp section of the #2003 […]
There was only a 5-year span (2007-2011) in which we got regular and super #Treasure Hunts (TH/$TH) of the same casting. This began when Hot Wheels went to the 2-tier TH system in 2007 and ended in 2012 when super Treasure Hunts became hidden in the various segment […]
The #RLC #sELECTIONs series is a rather unique concept in the diecast world. In 2004, the idea was launched (to coincide with the United States’ Presidential Election that year) to have the collectors “design” a series of Red Line Club vehicles. Collectors were able to vote for a casting (from […]

There is definitely no shortage of #Muscle Cars in the Hot Wheels lineup. However, with the wealth of castings in this genre of car, there are a few castings that manage to be under-utilized. Specifically, the #Large and in Charger has only been used four times since its […]
Man, this year, Hot Wheels got it right with the #Night Burnerz Series as the whole series, up and down, is great — we may have to do a Top 10 of just this series. Six of the ten castings were #2016 New Models and one was in […]
The design team at #Dodge deserves some credit as they keep churning out some great #Muscle Car models year after year. Between the #Viper, Challenger and the #Charger, #Mopar power is back! As if great design wasn’t enough, they keep finding ways to get more power out of these […]
Part of going back and rediscovering your collection is that you come across gems like this that you forgot you even had. Released as part of the #Real Riders Series (2005), this Hot Wheels #Mustang Mach I was listed as “1970 Ford Mustang Boss 302 – Parnelli Jones” on […]
