HW Moto | Canyon Carver

Hot Wheels is popularly known for producing die-cast cars and has expanded to making different types of vehicles. This also includes fictional planes, helicopters, and boats based on their own concept and design. The Mattel brand gives their designers the freedom to create their concepts for original Hot Wheels creation. But as always the majority of collectors would prefer cars to the ones mentioned. Sometimes, the interest also expands to two wheels, namely motorcycles. Rarely, they would produce licensed motorbikes from BMW, Ducati, or even Honda. Hot Wheels would further incorporate their original ideas too like the Canyon Carver motorbike.

HW Experimotors | Tanknator

Hot Wheels has been around long enough to just focus on making real world diecast cars. Over the years they expand and create different types of diecast cars and in their mainline every year a theme is added or introduced. In the last eight years they have come up with diecast cars made out of everyday objects turned into cars. This also included cars that can be ridden by minifigures, and since their parent company Mattel acquired Canadian toy company Mega Bloks and re-branded it into Mega Construx they also produced cars for this range of toys namely the oddball vehicle The Tanknator, that definitely made true to its name.

HW Metro | Time Shifter

Hot Wheels are known for producing licensed diecast cars, and for most of the time creates concept fictional cars based on its design team’s ideas. From obscure vehicles based on random things to sometimes based on a particular car that would become part of a videogame, which has become part of the brand to keep them relevant. The Time Shifter is an original casting from Hot Wheels, and it is also based on another car. The 2018 mainline release is the second time it was produced and part of a subtheme HW Metro mini collection series as a Delivery Van that seems to need a little bit of adoration for its simplistic concept that is rarely seen in another original casting that was produced by Mattel for their diecast brand.

2010 New Models: Sting Rod II

02.20.2011 – Hot Wheels is well-known for the licensed car brands, and has been around since 1968. It’s very popular for its latest and upcoming models based on real-life vehicles. But Hot Wheels as a brand is aslo underrated when it comes to unlicensed vehicles. The bold and outrageous concepts that licensed car brands can’t do is something special and it has been part of Hot Wheels’ DNA since the very beginning introducing the “Sweet Sixteen” with most of those ‘fantasy’ concepts cars continue to be part of the mainline just like the Sting Rod II!
