Product Information

During the fledgling Hot Wheels era, Mattel wanted to make sure that each of the cars could be used with any of the play sets and stunt track sets. As with the low-friction wheels in 1968, this innovation was revolutionary in the industry, and — although far less effective in terms of sales impact than in 1968 — was copied by the competition, who did not want to be outmaneuvered again by Mattel product strategists.

Specialty: With a bubble canopy, enclosed turbo fan, and turbine engine, this helicopter was made for fast flight day or night!

In 1996 Hot Wheels released one of the hottest surprise castings to ever come out of Mattel's factory. One was the 1995 Model Series, which included all of that year's new castings, 12 Models in the Model Series.Specialty: On the cutting-edge of technology, the Sky Fi™ zooms over the modern metropolis: propelled by its futuristic side jets and silent rear tail rotor.

Another celebrating moment was the creation on the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California. Harry Bentley Bradley did not think that would be the case and had quit Mattel to go back to the car industry. It was largely ceremonial to have him reach the number 40 but Larry continues to be involved in the hobby and consult with the Designers. The Mainline is sorted into 35 different mini collections – including the mini collection chosen by collectors, HW: The ’80s!When Wood found out about Hot Wheels at a party Rees was holding, Rees offered Wood the job of designing Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels started offering models based off of 80's economy cars, like the Pontiac Fiero or Dodge Omni 024. Foust smashes the previous world record by an impressive 31 feet at the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500.

Upon collection of all 4 vouchers, one was able to send away for a special 13th Treasure Hunt, a VW Drag Bus. In the late 80s, the Blue Card was introduced, which would become the basis of Hot Wheels cars still used today. In 1983 McDonald's first released Hot Wheels in their Happy Meals and the same year the Hot Wheels production plant was moved to Malaysia.New Models were announced and it is expected that 12 Treasure Hunts will again be slated for launch. The first run of these cars were available for a limited time only, from the beginning of October towards the end of November 2005. No one ever hears it coming, but the impact this copter makes will leave everyone waiting for a sequel! Due to low sales, and the fact that many of the castings were not re-used in later years, the 1972-3 models are known to be very collectible. All sixteen of the cars featured 'Spectraflame' paintwork, bearings, redline wheels, and working suspension.

The early years of Hot Wheels are known as the Redline Era as until 1977 the wheels had a red line etched around the tire rim. The success of the 1968 line was solidified and consolidated with the 1969 releases, with which Hot Wheels effectively established itself as the most important brand of small toy car models in the USA. Later in the decade, in 1995, a major change was brought to the Hot Wheels line, where the cars were split up into series. Hot Wheels introduces its first line of Character Cars with the launch of Toy Story Character Cars that year.
