Unlicensed Hot Wheels are Hot Wheels castings that don’t require licensing agreements with automobile manufacturers. These can be fantasy vehicles and/or realistically proportioned vehicles. These are designed in-house by Hot Wheels designers.
File this under: straight-wacky. The brand-new, Hot Wheels #RV There Yet has just been released and it already has the collectors talking. This wacky car & camper combo is truly unique. It features a cartoony hatchback with an equally cartoony camper on back — hence why it is […]
#Hot Wheels iD has been good to me. Honestly, I don’t know if I could have placed this many castings I collect in the line if I had been one of the planners. It seems like, with every mix, there has been something that I collect — and […]
The #2020 Hot Wheels have started to appear, but before we totally move on from 2019, we need to look at the last #2019 New Model: the #Mod Rod. This modern, modified hot rod — hence the name “Mod Rod” — is a super slick Hot Wheels original […]
My latest Mystery Models Series 3 score netted a new Hot Wheels #Cruise Bruiser to add to the collection. It was the vehicle I was looking forward to the most simply because it was the only one out of the 12 that I collect. Others may have sought […]
The Hot Wheels #Fast-Bed Hauler has resurfaced after a 3-year void, and this collector is happy. See, back in 2014, I thought the Fast-Bed Hauler was one of the coolest new models for that year. I originally sought out to collect it, but after its last release in […]

Hot Wheels #Gassers are in. Collectors love them, and their often borderline risqué graphics. In this #OTD YouTube video, I personally walk you through my #Pass’n Gasser casting collection — a casting that was named after flatulence. The final name for the casting surprised its designer, Larry Wood, […]
The Hot Wheels #Driftsta is one of those #Unlicensed Hot Wheels — ala “Fantasy Cars” or “HW Original Designs” — that I’ve been drawn to. Its a relatively new casting as it made its debut in the #2015 Hot Wheels mainline. My acclaim for it grew when I […]
A couple weeks ago, I was perusing a secondary sales site when the last two #Variations I needed for my Hot Wheels #Switchback collection went up for auction. I had been looking for these for years — yes, YEARS! — and was not about to let them get […]
When Hot Wheels designer, Eric Han brought the “first shot” prototypes of the #Gruppo x24 to the last convention in October, many collectors overlooked both him and this new casting. See, Eric works as a designer in tracks and playsets designing things like the Hot Wheels Super Ultimate […]
