How many Hot Wheels collectors know the story behind the #2009 Treasure Hunts: #’57 Plymouth Fury? I vaguely remembered it being based on Hot Wheels Designer, Brendon Vetuskey‘s real car at the time. So recently, I had a chance to catch up with Brendon and talk to him […]
The #Connect Cars were released 10 years ago. So, its only fitting that I open & showcase my prized possession from the line: the North Carolina #’70 Plymouth Superbird. This car is particularly scarce due to its limited nature as it was one of the last cars to […]
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 […]
Six of the ten #HW 50th Race Team cars for 2018 have been released through the #2018 Hot Wheels “M” case assortment so far. Coming in mix “N” we will see two more in the new Dune Daddy casting and this #’70 Plymouth Roadrunner — with the last two […]
Hard to believe that the Hot Wheels #Connect Cars came out nearly a decade ago. If you are unfamiliar with them, the U.S. release of this line consisted of 50 vehicles — plus one bonus one — to represent each of the United States. They came on an […]

Trick or treat Hot Wheels collectors. Chances are, if you’ve not found the #Hot Wheels Halloween (2017) series — or maybe found an incomplete set — you may consider yourself in the “trick” category. If you have found the complete set, namely this #’71 Plymouth Satellite, you already […]
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 — […]
In the late ’90s and early ’00s, several Hot Wheels #Promotional Vehicles were released through the beauty product manufacturer, Avon. An odd pairing indeed between a direct-to-consumer beauty product manufacturer/retailer and Hot Wheels collectors — or even kids, if that was the target demographic. Its possible only the folks involved knew […]
