Here is a Hot Wheels casting that I’ve been wanting to showcase for you guys since I first laid eyes on it back in October: the #Manga Tuner. For once though, it is not because I am a huge fan of the casting, its roots, or even its […]
When you think Hot Wheels has thought of everything, you often wonder, “what will they think of next?” A wheelchair? Sure, why not. This brand-new casting is called the #Wheelie Chair and this #First Edition release features a licensed deco for extreme wheelchair athlete, Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham. Check […]
The re-introduction of the #King Kuda to the Hot Wheels mainline has been nothing short of momentous. Let that sink in: momentous. How do you ask? Well, I’ll tell you right off the bat that it doesn’t pertain to the Super #Treasure Hunt hoopla. I realize that is […]
