Hot Wheels SDCC Exclusive Batman 6 Pack, Hot Wheels and Marvel SDCC Exclusives, New Car Small Block #dailydosediecastcars #hotwheelsnews #diecastcars #hotwheels
So, I think that we must remember that HWs are first and foremost kids toys. Even though the racer verse cars are an SDCC exclusive, they are still kids toys and designed with them in consideration & the "cheapness" quality to them probably helps contribute to their durability and being able to stand up to the abuse that children will inflict on them. I don't really think they are intended for serious collectors, though some serious collectors might love them. Same with mainline cars & trucks like the new Optimus Prime. It's a mainline version so for kids - no loose or moving parts. Premiums are a different story, I would expect better details & features on premiums. I really like the small block. Here in the US we had pinewood model cars, basically a block of wood that you could carve to make it look like the car you want. Small block reminds me of that. TY for sharing 🙏🏾
I agree with you on this, and the fact that it is branded with the Secret Wars line which was released between 1984 and 1985, it makes sense that the product retains that vintage look/style which is reminiscent of the line.
The racer verse are interesting, there are popular caraters like spider-man that drive his spider boogy car and that was a previous casting of main line and premium. The wolverine one is nice. On the bus i believe is the people or designer of HW.
As a fantasy casting the Small Bloc definitely wins on its quirkiness. This model reminds me of a Kickstarter startup that focused on making high quality wooden toy cars. I really think it's time Hot Wheels re-tooled the castings for the '89 Batmobile and the Tumbler. I'm just not a fan of the oversized rear wheel on the '89, and the wheels of the Tumbler are just completely wrong - They should have double rear tires and the front wheels need to be exposed (Tomica actually got this right). Funny enough, Hot Wheels did get this right on their 1:50 versions.
Still cant get into the big headed racer verse characters. I do miss the character cars Hot Wheels used to make for each superhero. If that's the Optimus Prime trailer I can have a chance of getting without emptying out my wallet then I'll get it. The Batmobile set looks awesome. Kowloone'd bus will be in K and L case. The form of it reminds me of Time Shifter and even Time Ataxxi. I want one and hopefully they put some crazier tampos on it in the future. Small Bloc looks great. Like they could give it wood paneling. The reflection from the rims make them look like they have inner designs. I love it's stance and all that room on the side for flames. hint hint. Thanx for the showcase.
