Real Riders are synthetic plastic tires that are made to look and feel like rubber. They were developed by Hot Wheels designers Bob Rosas and Larry Wood. They were first released in 1983 and continue to be released to this day.
For those of you that may not remember, the #Hot Wheels Delivery series was essentially the beginning of what is now referred to as the Pop Culture line. It started in 2009 with the Sweet Rides series and concluded after its second year (2010) where it was known […]
Every summer, the biggest comic enthusiasts in the world attend the largest comic-con out there: San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). Over the years, more and more companies from varying industries have gotten involved with “the con” as it continued to grow. Just a little over a decade ago, Mattel’s […]
Back when the Hot Wheels #Pop Culture line first started in 2011, it was known as the Nostalgic Brands line. For a kid that grew up in the ’80s/’90s, #Super Mario evokes all kind of nostalgia. After a move to a new house a couple months ago, I […]
The 50th Anniversary of Hot Wheels is off to a spectacular start for the brand. Sure the mainline is always a hit and there are loads of 50th Anniversary cars coming, but 2018 starting off with a bang in the #Car Culture line with the much anticipated release […]

Around this time last year, collectors were occupied with trying to track down the #2017 Hot Wheels “C” case assortments at their retail establishment of choice. In that assortment was the #Holiday Racers #16 Angels which sported “HAPPY HOLIDAYS” graphics for Christmas 2016. Just like this year’s Screamliner, […]
I’ll admit that I passed on this #First Edition release of the #Custom ’14 Ford Mustang the first couple times I saw it. Just another new #Mustang with #Real Riders on it, right? Not worth that $5 #Entertainment line price-point, right? Oh, and that Koenigsegg… passed that up […]
Say what you will about the Hot Wheels #Pop Culture line as its had several series that have warmed pegs. However, don’t confuse abundance with lack of interest. Take for instance the latest series to be released in the #2017 Hot Wheels Pop Culture line: #Star Wars #Bounty […]
