As Hot Wheels designer, Phil Riehlman broke onto the scene in 1993 when he re-designed the Twin Mill and the Silhouette (along with Bruce Baur). His “big break” came in 1996 when his VW Bus casting became an instant hit with collectors and as a promotional piece. Phil continues to design Hot Wheels to this day.
Wooooooah! Its not what you think… we aren’t featuring Matchbox here now. Rather, there is a new #Jeep on the Hot Wheels side of the Mattel family. The #First Edition of the #’17 Jeep Wrangler appears as a #2018 New Model in the #HW Hot Trucks Series as […]
One of my favorite #Treasure Hunt / Super Treasure Hunt combos would have to be the #’70 Plymouth Roadrunner from 2008. A quick look at the regular and the super, and it doesn’t feel like you are necessarily getting a consolation prize with the regular — but man, […]
As a collector of Hot Wheels for over 20 years, its easy to look back and reminisce how the hobby has changed — and how is hasn’t — over that time period. It seems like just yesterday I was writing down my cars that I had accumulated in […]
With all the hype #Gassers get these days, its surprising the #Morris Wagon doesn’t get much attention. Maybe its because the casting hasn’t been released since 2013 and/or maybe its because its a British car, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking a second look at its #2001 […]
Some collectors lately are loving to hate Hot Wheels. For the very reason that Hot Wheels were bought for them as kids — $1 toy car — it seems as though in the world of social media, some collectors fail to understand that through 50 years, that remarkably […]
The #Meyers Manx is one of those cars that screams Southern California and more importantly (in this setting), Hot Wheels. Introduced as a #2003 First Edition the Hot Wheels Meyers Manx appeared every year from 2003 until 2014, with 2011 being the lone year without a release. However, […]
Just a little over a decade ago, Volkswagens were all the rage. It seemed as though whenever Hot Wheels put a new #VW out, collectors were all over it, leaving none behind. Newer collectors got a glimpse of that this year with the release of the #Volkswagen T2 […]
Whether you love them, hate them, or fall somewhere in-between, the Hot Wheels #Character Cars are here to stay. When these first hit the pegs a couple years ago, traditional collectors were enraged that Hot Wheels would even do such a thing. Four years later, its almost like […]
The ’90s called, they want their Hot Wheels back! Haha! All joking aside (since April Fool’s Day was yesterday), the newest #2017 Hot Wheels #Treasure Hunts is the #Fandango and its been showing up as part of the “H” case assortments. This ’90s-inspired graphic art scheme appeared last […]
Not sure if the special golden #Chase cars have you buying vehicles from the #Mystery Models baggie cars, but there are certainly a few collectors/profiteers snatching them up looking to make a quick buck. For the most part, I have been leaving the ones I find behind as […]
