Weird Hot Wheel Gimmicks 

The code is now set to 10% off anything, have fun gamersupps.gg/PONGON Also thanks for all the suggestions in the comments!!! Clearly there are SO many more gimmicks I didn't mention, and I am writing them all down for a possible sequel

GOOBER ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

They should make a gimmick where they make a series of hotwheels called cold wheels

Random guy: ay bro what instrument do you play Me: hotwheel car

Honestly, as someone who grew up with a Hot Wheels obsession in the 2000's, these videos have been a nice trip down memory lane, pun fully intended. I think you do a good job explaining why Hot Wheels are so fascinating both as Toys and as a brand. I remembered some of the gimmicks you talked about like the Lightracers, but stuff like the Split Racers I never heard about! So thanks for the video! 😃

Hot wheels is the definition of: “Lets just slap a… thing on wheels. I don’t care if it defies the omniverse, put it on the shelves!”

Getting paid to play with hot wheels, pollygon is living the life

WOAH! I LOVE Doohickeys, gimmicks, doodads AND Gizmos!

Honestly, the Attack Pack stuff deserves a video unto itself, they're pretty insane.

As a hot wheels, i can confirm that these are the hot wheel car gimmicks that have ever been released of all time

I actually used the wrench gimmick when I was working on a project and just happened to find this old hotwheel, and it works fairly well.

PONGON! if you want to get rid of the drawing on the car at 7:13, then use hand sanitizer, it works, i've fixed stuff with dat before.

Does anybody notice that his voice sounds like a command but he has long hair and painted nails

fun fact the wrench on the tooligan is 13 mm which is one of the most used wrench sizes as 13 mm almost exactly equals 1/2 inch. The socket on the bottom is 10 mm which is popular enough that there is a meme in the mechanic community about 10 mm sockets constantly getting lost.

As a kid on a family trip to New York we went to the big Toys R Us with the ferris wheel in the middle (it shut down 😭) My mom gave me a whole 100 dollars to spend for the day thinking i would spend it all on different things. I went STRAIGHT to the hotwheel section and blew it all on the sickest most awesome cars.

12:00 other then being a literal stamp, You can actually put other cars ontop of the Embosser which then also means they like a Car Carrier.

I would like a video on the non-car hotwheels please.

polygon donut never fails to make us joyous and full of whimsically!!

As autistic person myself, I find your videos very interesting, especially with the way you edit them, love you !!

POV my teacher: what is your favorite instrument? Me: hot wheel

The Embosser can have a car on the top of it and I didn’t know the embosser actually had a stamp in it

2:42 “I want the toaster car I want the toaster car!” *Y I P P E E*

I was surprised you never mentioned the Bakugan Hotwheels, I always thought they were one of the more unique gimmicks in the series

16:52 Hotwheels Centipede

Pongon is like that one neighbor that is too energetic and childish, but is a cool guy once calm. Pongon funni !!!!!!!!

God these videos are just 20 minutes of straight stimming for my brain, thank you

I remember some of my childhood Hot Wheels collection having openable hoods to admire the engine. This was a feature that dates all the way back to 1968, when Hot Wheels first started. The chrome engines were either exposed or had a hood that you could open to admire it, just like a real car. Only problem is that the metal pegs holding the hood to the rest of the body were rather brittle and could easily break off, eventually losing the hood entirely. Nevertheless, this feature persisted in late '90s-early 2000s Hot Wheels castings before being discontinued all together in I believe 2006-2007.

the embosser can actually get used to carry other hotwheel cars.

20:44 core memory unlocked

homt whiiels 👍

Our very first RU-vid videos were filled with a Hotwheels video racer. The part about it that frustrated me the most as a kid was the lack of storage, It could only record for a couple minutes. Everything else about it was awesome, even though the video quality wasn't that good it still provided a very unique perspective. It was like my childhood dream came to life and appeared in my local Target!

How to fix the half number. Stick your finger in and see which side faces up after

this is exactly what i needed in my life!!!! thanks polygon for this!! this has opened my eyes!!!

15:21 dude those cars are actually sick! They can even deform on slides and you can wobble them in every possible way

THE CUTE NOISES I CANT!! 😭😭😭

The bendy hot weels bracelet and necklace drip goes HARD as hell ngl

More Hot Wheels videos yay! Unironically, HW Fantasy/Originals need more fans because HW of late has been influenced by people obsessed with boring real life stuff

hot wheels when cold wheels walks in:🙀😯😧🙀😲

The jet threat has gotta be one of my favorite hotwheels cars.

I wonder what polygon was like before the lobotomy

Now I want a video about non-car Hot Wheels.

This is a certified skrombly video

every single detail about this channel feels like pure unadulterated insanity i love it 10/10

The flying toaster would make good friends with the car toaster

I love your hot wheels videos. Such a breath of fresh air in a niche dominated by hard-core collectors (yes, me included). 1:17 I have a Jet Threat 1.0 from 1970. It has a little hatch that can be opened to expose an orange turbine thingy! Its also all metal, so its ridiculously heavy. 5:00 im sure you noticed, but the Whip Creamer 2 can also be used as a makeshift kazoo/whistle. It also has a predecessor called Whip Creamer which was released in the early 70s. 6:55 yeah, the emoticar sucks. Generally just not the best design imo. 7:30 The head that sticks out the top of Skull Shaker is actually a depiction of Larry Wood, the designer of the original Bone Shaker. 10:30 carbonator is the goat of hot wheels gimmicks. They release a special one every new years so that you open definitely-not-beer with it. 20:20 in all my years of collecting, i have literally never heard of the Speed Readerz. Props for digging up this relic of hot wheels history. 20:45 i have found way to many of these at thrift stores. Not one had functioning lights. There are a few other castings with fun gimmicks that i can think of: Side Kick: weird sliding cockpit thing that is activated by pulling on the exhaust. The Heavyweights Series: a bunch of work trucks that were released in the early 70s, each with a unique moving feature. There is a commercial for them somewhere on youtube that emits dangerous levels of charm. ConVertAbles: odd series of cars that do weird things when put in hot water i guess. Idk, all of mine are broken. Ford Taurus Stocker: A red Nascar that was exclusive to the Ford Auto Assembly playset. It can be taken apart into 3 pieces, the base, body, and engine. Its extremely rare and obscure. Sizzlers: Motorized hot wheels! Some came with a huge bumper that is hilariously called the "Mouse Mustache". Circuit Crashers: Monster Trucks that explode when crashed! Crack-Ups: cars from the early 80s that have flipable panels that show damage when you crash into them. Tech Trax: very short lived series of cars that could bend in the middle and gave them a sort of suspension, or that was the idea anyways. They never really worked. Hot Wheels ID: Cars with micro chips in them so that you can download them into a racing game. Pretty short lived series as nobody cared about the game. Steering Rigs: Semi trucks that would turn the cab from a steering wheel mounted in the trailer. They're tricky to get the hang of, but satisfying when you do. Revealers: The cars themselves are dayglow and reek of the 80s, but they came wrapped in a paper that would supposedly dissolve when dipped in water. Also, the packaging would give you a Dairy Queen coupon for a free ice cream(expired in 1984). Get one and see if a DQ will let you redeem it. I cannot wait for the Color Shifters video!

polygon donut’s evil twin, pylon pastry, will not let me in his basement

4:33 And they fixed the mechanism so it doesn’t put stress on the plastic, neat.

I didn't grow up playing with hot wheels and frankly ive never been interested in them that much. But i really love all of your videos that review weird gimmicky products so i watched this one anyway! I absolutely love the sheer creativity and fun that hotwheels embodied in these cool cars! Its such a shame so many of these neat gimmicks didnt take off. Id love to see more of these funky cars if you make a part 2 in the future! The wiggly snake cars are so underrated why did nobody like them!!

13:48 *nightcall starts playing*

The only thing stopping this beast of a goober is the time it takes to ship things 😔😔

The nostalgia trip is really great but trying hard to be very funny just kills it.

0:32 AYO I HAVE DAT ONE BUT IN GREEN!!

YOU KNOW IT'S A GOOD DAY WHEN POLYGON DONUT POSTS⁉️🔥🔥🔥🗣️‼️‼️‼️

8:28 Okay this one got me

WERE GETTING OF THE BASEMENT WITH THIS ONE BOYS!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

I just love how the comping cars in the game are just chomping at the speed of light

You know it’s gonna be a good day when polygon donut posts

So many weird sound effects built in to this dude

I had a red roller toaster myself, i happy to saw it here :D

Polygon doughnuts, videos of kinder like Christmas. It doesn’t come often, but when it does it’s truly special

14:07 TADC ACKNOWLEDGED!! YIPPEE

i love this content. it's so wholesome!!! it's so refreshing to watch a video that just someone pouring out all their love for a thingy for half and hour. keep it up!

Generally, you can remove sharpie from smooth surfaces using hand sanitizer

2:23 The absolute chaos behind those eyes

22:20 "in the future, everything is chrome."

HELL YEAH, I always wanted to see you make a video about hot wheel stuff, hot wheels was in my childhood, I absolutely loved getting to play with them when I was a kid 😊 Keep up the amazing work btw 💜

There were also speed winders (which were produced in 2017 and closed in 2018😶). They had a built-in small rotating mechanism with a rubber band, thanks to which the car could go very fast, depending on how many revolutions were made in the mechanism.

23 minutes of silly goober??? Splendid, gnyarp gnyarp certified 🔥🔥🔥🔥

18:53 I need the Hot Dogger AAAAAAAAAAAAA where buy

One cool thing about the split speeders is that at least on the tank and blue shark ones, the inside has a neat little design you can see when it splits.

This youtuber is rly liveing in the nostalgic yrs :o

16:04 OH MY GA-

Id love to see a video on the non car hot wheels vehicles you mentioned tbh

I have a minor hot wheels collection…and your hot wheels vids makes me want to get into collecting vintage hot wheels

2:24 somehow hearing the dog sniffing makes me feel like a dog is actually sniffing near my face and I love it

20 minutes of silly??? splendid

Babe wake up, Polygon Donut posted a Hot Wheels video

You forgot about the type of hotwheels that have big wheels on the back. they were made in 2000's but discontinued in like 2002.

My favorite car was the Hotdog hot wheel 4:07

20:16 the demons woke up

11:21 one must imagine polygon donut happy

There's an openable body gimmick hot wheels which I've owned back in the day, it's called Ground FX.

I think the humans wear helmets so the human faces do not look uncanny

Your enthusiasm in this video makes me really happy

12:09 I USED DIDNT KNOW THAT PUT THE LOGO ON THERE 💀 I used it to put other cars on top of it

LETS GOO POGO DONO IS BACK
