Older Fantasy Cars are Underappreciated | Hot Wheels (VIDEO ESSAY... kinda...)

Decided to make an video essay about why some of these castings are mostly underrated. Also I forgot to mention that collect whatever you want, just be a little diverse would you? Apologies if some of my pronunciations are scuffed, but I hope you enjoy the video.

Time to rip open a STH/RLC car...

Collecting cars suck when you got scalpers tryna buy as many hot wheels possible just to overprice them for like $800 or so. I hope Mattel rereleases the AR and HWY35 stuff just to kill the AR/HWY35 scalpers' business.

[@DarrenHalim]

God I hope they do.

[@SamGarcia9623]

1 can only hope.

I love fantasy cars, specially the 2000 tuners ones. Synkro, 24/7, audacious etc. I wished I had those cars on my collection but time passes by and Hotwheels now making “hYbRID” cars or “NFTs”

[@DarrenHalim]

Most newer fantasy cars are absolute dogshit and now there's just overrated licensed castings (sneak peek for new vid so stay tuned).

[@fontmakesthingies]

I think fantasy tuners are cool too
I’d like to mention Seared Tuner, MS-T Suzuka and Furiosity (very underappreciated one)

[@randombassguy5780]

Great video man, agreed. I only collect fantasy castings because I love how unique they are. Some of my favourites are the Silhouette, Aeroflash, Bad Ratitude, AristoRat, Drifsta, Cyberspeeder and of course Twin Mill. I have a bunch of animal/creature castings that I plan to modify into horror themed and post-apocalypse cars including the Duck 'N' Roll, Sharkrulser and Tricera-Truck.

[@DarrenHalim]

Same thing here. Sadly, the soulless hype is what made collecting look like shit nowadays tbh...

[@MaxedFluttershy]

@@DarrenHalimyes, so sad and true, my favorite fantasy cars are Burl-Esque and Krazy 8s

[@BlueminNight]

I remember playing Hot Wheels World Race and is fascinated by the fantasy cars in it. I never get the hate on fantasy car sometimes, though I can understand why others liked licensed one

[@masterg4033]

I love almost all fantasy cars in my opinion they are the true essence of Hot Wheels if they only made licensed cars it wouldn't be fun for me

[@DarrenHalim]

Agreed

[@SunchippStudio]

I honestly prefer the older fantasy cars, they had originality and creativity especially in the names!

[@DarrenHalim]

Same

[@valutaatoaofunknownelement197]

Late to the video (this just got recommended to me today), but I gotta say you did a nice touch with Mid Drift, a Personal favorite of mine.

[@DarrenHalim]

Ah thanks though. I put it in there cause my highschool friend liked it as well.

[@slingshotkurt8474]

Very based video.

[@DarrenHalim]

Thank you brother

[@Eplsilon]

Finally, some who shares my view on fantasy cars special older castings I only collect them because their unique and I don't really get much joy from licensed car that I see every day

[@DarrenHalim]

Good thing we're both sharing the sane viewpoint as well 🤝

[@SamGarcia9623]

Hot Dog Car 🤮🤮🤮

[@SamGarcia9623]

and not to mention that without the fantasy models
Hot Wheels wouldn't be that different from Matchbox, its direct competitor.
