The evolution of the Red Line Club continues with another casting getting the #Opening Feature treatment: the #Custom ’72 Datsun 240Z. If you recall, this casting made its debut just two years ago in the mainline as part of the 2017 Factory Fresh series. The FuguZ was tied […]
As you can see, I collect Hot Wheels #DeLoreans. When I found out that Hot Wheels Designer / 3D Sculptor Manson Cheung was going to be the guest of honor at the #19th Annual Nationals Convention, I was excited for two reasons: 1) Manson is a great guy […]
