Fun toy history fact: Mattel was one of the first brands to revolutionize the new era of toys. Most toys before this were more things to fiddle with, like yo-yos and slinkies. Mattel brought in toys that were actually meant for something, like toy cars and the famous Mattel thunder-burp, the first toy gun ever, and the marking of the start of the new era. I actually have one! So yeah there’s a quick history lesson Yall :)
I'm sure that dolls and action figures already existed. As did OTHER explicitly "toy" vehicles. They didn't make nothin' new, they just gave it a kick in the ass is all.
This video was my introduction to the channel, and lemme just say it’s wholesome af, love every minute of every video; it’s serotonin for me, thank you for the fun content
Oh my fucking god the nostalgia, the memories. I used to collect tons of hot wheels cars when i when younger, and i have like 400+ of them stored inside my closet in a huge box. I remember my young-self liked way more realistic/down-to-earth design cars rather than the goofy ahh ones.
Damn, I have in total like 31 cars, and I have never once buy a realistic car because I've always thought to myself "if I wanted to realistic cars, I would've bought matchbox"
I like to see the Twin Mill and the Bone Shaker as sort of "friendly rivals". I put those two cars side by side and I just get that friendly rivalry vibe. To put it simply, The Bone Shaker is the Ken Masters to The Twin Mill's Ryu. Then there's the Rodger Dodger. Definitely in my top 3 Hot Wheels car designs.
I 100% remember the hot wheels pop tarts, they had a literal print of a hot wheels car on them similar to how a birthday cake or something would be, it would get all smudged up when your 8 year old hands or mouth ran across it. I remember they also had a Halloween theme one with the same idea. Completely forgot all about these until I saw them again
So about the hot wheels eggos, They actually existed, I actually ended up having my mom buy them at a walmart sometime when I was really young, like pre-school and kindergarden levels of young when I was obbsessed with hot wheels as a toddler. The box was the exact same as in the picture, with the two eggo hot wheels in the picture on every single waffle. I legit forgot about this until this video came up too which goes to show how obscure the eggos were. They existed at some point 100% sometime in the late 2000's.
I remember one of my friends throwing a ton of hot wheels in the air for no apparent reason and how the little metal cars started raining down, crashing on my and my best friend's face and head. still haunts me to this day 10/10 would recommend
Oh my god nostalgia. I still have like 5 buckets of hot wheels in my bedroom (some are other brands, but most are hot wheels) and when i saw some that i own i was like “hey! I know that one!”
My favorite Hot Wheels line was the Acceleracers line. Not only on do the movies go hard, but the car designs goes so hard too. The Teku with the sleek technological looking cars. The Metal Maniacs with the aggresive designs. The Racing Drones with the robotic transformers. The Silencerz with the secret agent lab organization vibes.
The Thomas Car (Loco Motorin’) is so cool. It was released exclusively in 2020 to celebrate 75 years of the Railway Series, the book series the Thomas the Tank Engine show is based on. It’s by far my favourite fictional Hot Wheel design.
I think an underappreciated element of these things are the weird cars they make for the little track toys. You can get them dinosaur themed, there were cars specifically made for shooting at a shark, and I seem to vividly recall a line of more futuristic looking cars that were built to go down this little track thing built like a city with a giant guy that punched down some buildings or something on the track.
Silly hot wheels are one of the toys that defined my childhood. We got coupons for them all the time so my mom bought me at least one pretty much every week for several years, and I had hundreds at one point. Eventually Lego replaced hot wheels as my favorite toys, but they were still loved for many years. I get nostalgia every time I see kids playing with hot wheels cars now :)
In the late 90's/ early 2000's Hotwheels was heavily involved in NASCAR merchandise at the time and had a few collabs. Some were pretty tame like putting race car designs on vintage cars, but others were WAY out there, like putting designs on golf carts, Radio Flyer wagons, Helicopters, RVs, ATVs, school busses, boats, and just about everything else that moves
thanks for the nostalgiac throwback polygon, I had completely forgot about these lol as a kid I collected every car I could and have hundereds of them lying around collecting dust
As a HW collector and a lover of memes I can tell you that this video is everything I could ask for, shoutout to my boys the Fatbaxs!!! Back in 2004 I got at least 4 of those cars, I really loved how absurd they were, the green Silhouette is my favorite. Also shoutout to the Super Treasure hunt line, rubber is very important. The cars have rubber wheels and shiny paint and can be found hidden in the same boxes as the regular cars, it's always fun to go out hunting and see what you can find
Treasure hunting has become my latest obsession and I blame yall for it lmao. Approximately one in 10,000 cars is an ultra rare Treasure Hunt or Super Treasure Hunt variant with fancy paint and tires, they're just randomly hidden among boxes of HW cars. It's like hunting for shiny pokemon in real life. Help me.
@@LuvzToLol21 Unless they changed it, one in every 15 boxes should have a Super TH and each box of 72 cars has a basic TH, a couple of weeks ago I went hunting for fun and found two basic TH I didn't have! I never shy away from asking if they got more cars in the back, that's a very exciting part of it lol it's great to see more and more people enjoying the hobbie!!!
I was big into Hotwheels in the early to mid 2000's. I had, like, 10 of those "fatbacks" and other wacky designs like models that looked like they were raindrop versions of older models or bulbous, cartoony versions. I had ones that transformed into skateboarding robots with guns. I had tiny little magnetic ones that had tiny magnetic sets and tracks. But my weirdest "normal ones" where a blimp and a helicopter. Yeah... Don't know why I bought those. My favorite is, and forever will be, the Maelstrom. With the Vulture as a close second. Sadly, I moved when I turned 18 and my (admittedly not very well taken care of) collection was lost in the transfer somehow. The only one I still have is my old, blue Maelstrom that I had kept in my pocket. Thanks for reading all that! God bless you! (Edited for grammar correction)

Surprised you didn't use any footage from Hot Wheels Unleashed, but it's nice to see those classic games! Great video! Also, my favorite Hot Wheels would be the Roadbeast Ballistik! Maybe I just thought Banji was a cool character as a kid, and that just stuck with me?
I love hotwheels unleashed too but i just kept it simple and used world race. I will do a video on hotwheel games soon tho where i talk about all of them
I really love hot wheels and own more than 120 of them, AND WHEN I SAW THE TITLE IT’S SO ACCURATE, I LOVED TO BUY THOSE WEIRD ONES AS A KID. Sick video!
3:32 NASCAR fan here. That is the exact paint scheme used by Ricky Craven driving in the NASCAR Cup Series from 2002 to 2004. He had only two wins and not a lot of good finishes, but had one memorable finish in particular. In the final laps of the 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400, Ricky Craven ran down race leader Kurt Busch getting side by side with him coming out of the last turn. Craven beat Busch to the finish line by only 0.002 seconds. It was the closest finish in NASCAR history at the time and is still tied for that honor.
Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” is one of the most well-known philosophical concepts in history. As such, it only makes sense that numerous filmmakers would try to incorporate this philosophy into their movies. But what exactly is it? And why does it work so well in the context of filmmaking? We’ll look at this concept as well as several films that have incorporated it excellently. It’s time to find the sun. Virtually all philosophy descends from Plato. And this particular piece of philosophy routinely comes up in discussions of how humans perceive reality and whether there is any higher truth to existence. This is a concept pondered and considered for thousands of years and we're still nowhere closer to an answer. Naturally, this is great material for literature and film. We'll go through this allegory in detail with examples from movies that were clearly inspired by Plato's cave. First things first - what is Plato's "Allegory of the Cave"? Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave" is a concept devised by the philosopher to ruminate on the nature of belief versus knowledge. The allegory begins with prisoners who have lived their entire lives chained inside a cave. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners are people carrying puppets or other objects. These cast shadows on the opposite wall. The prisoners watch these shadows, believing this to be their reality as they've known nothing else. Plato posits that one prisoner could become free. He finally sees the fire and realizes the shadows are fake. This prisoner could escape from the cave and discover there is a whole new world outside they were previously unaware of. This prisoner would believe the outside world is so much more real than that in the cave. He would try to return to free the other prisoners. Upon his return, he is blinded because his eyes are not accustomed to actual sunlight. The chained prisoners would see this blindness and believe they will be harmed if they try to leave the cave. Despite being centuries old, the allegory is appropriate for filmmaking. After all, the audience watches images on a screen. We’re meant to believe it to be real, but we know it’s false. Only when we step out of the theater back into reality can we take what we’ve learned in the cinema and apply it to our lives. But don't just take our Allegory of the Cave summary at face value. You would greatly benefit from reading it yourself.
i played with hotwheels so much and remember having some rare ones, but i got rid of most of them and i regret doing that so much now. Ive bought a couple new ones just for nostalgia. Loved those things
Everytime I watch a video by you I forget you're the same person, so it's nice to know I'm already subscribed lol. Thanks for inciting another hyperfixation for me (even tho I'm on adhd meds and that shit rarely happens anymore)
Holy shit, I used to have one of those rare McD's variants, specifically the Lightning Speed one at 8:25. I think I buried it in my grandparents' old backyard somewhere in my old hometown.
Back in the far back year of 2003, hot wheels made possibly the best children's movie ever (despite the ps2 lookin ahh graphics), Hot Wheels Highway 35. I found it on vhs at a thrift store when i was 2 years old, back in 2007, and honestly not only did it get me into hot wheels, but is probably the sole reason i love cars so much. Even if you don't care about hot wheels I'd still recommend you give this movie (and it's sequel series, Acceleracers) a watch.
I grew up during the "Beat That" and Battle Force 5 eras of Hot Wheels from the mid-2000s into the early 2010s. Always good to see more Hot Wheels content on the site. Never see a lot of it unfortunately.
4:27 *I HAD ONE OF THOSE!!* I was what, about tree or four years old at the time? I remember being so confused by this car that it get carved in my memory as the ghost it looked like...😓
I can't believe you didn't show off the Hot Wheels car that was designed specifically to have a GoPro on it. It's probably one of my favorite cars, simply because the POV vids fucking slap.
i love these types of videos, you should do more. its always fun to hear you talk! first it was about the meaning of weirdcore and now its about hotwheels, seems as if youre evolving. awesome.
My dad was a full on carnivore when I was younger, so we'd go to target like every day to get meat. They had a dollar bin of hot wheels and i got one every time. I remember I had that fidget toy thing and I'd bring it in the bath because it was light blue. Anyways, I don't know where it is now.
Hot Wheels managed to bring out the inner petrol-head in me. Something that I didn't even think was possible. Looking back on my 2000's collection, I think most of my collection consisted of old school muscle cars, like the 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. I used to have a metal flake green one back in the 2000's, but I lost it along with the rest of my sets and cars. I re-started my collection in 2018 and it has grown exponentially ever since. I even found a new Mustang to replace the one I lost 20 years ago. :)
You know, this should be a great format for a documentary series of 2000s or so toys. Like, Bakugan or Beyblade Or Lego. Seriously, I found you today and I already LOVE the editing and jokes, it's brilliant!
My modern favorite Hot Wheels models are Custom Small Block, and Brickin' Trail. These are building block vehicles that you can mix, and match parts to create new vehicles, plus, there's Brickin' Speed, a race car that ties into the unique play pattern of the other two. Also, I love the Corvette, and I always collect more than one example of each new release, and color.
I was a 5 year old hot wheels mega collector I've amassed countless hot wheels through out my 16years and ill count down the 5 that I can remember off the top of my head. 1: the shark car (blue) 2: the Yoda car 3: a purple van with flames on it. 4: a rare golden car I got from a mystery set And 5, the carbonator.
I only have one Hot Wheel, and it's one I got in 2004 from a McDonald's Happy Meal. It used to light up from the inside when a switch was flipped on the bottom of the car, but even though the battery's now dead and unreplaceable, it's still my favorite style of Hot Wheel. I had to do some research to figure this out, but it's a 2004 McDonalds-exclusive Hyperliner from the Blings series. I love the boxy style and huge wheels.
Yoo I got one of these when I was a little kid and my family was on vacation in the US. It was the coolest thing ever. I don’t know if I lost it, but when I checked my bag back at home, the car was gone. I’ve never gotten my hands on one of these again.
This video really influenced me to go buy a couple of Hot Wheeles right now. You have such a funny and energetic personality, as well! Fantastic video, and I like your name!
This was a really fascinating and entertaining video.👍 I just want to say about the Baker's Dozen donut cars is that I don't believe they were marketed specifically to girls, but rather the pink box was to emulate the prevalent use of pink donut boxes along the American West Coast.
When i saw the hot wheels 50 years documentary, I just thought to myself 'yep I'm collecting these now' I wanted to get like a thousand, but stopped at around 70 because I stopped being interested. So now i have something like 350€ worth of hotwheels sitting near me as I type this
The Hot Wheels car, Coupe Clip, is a keyring (/keychain depending where you live). I thought it looked stupid when I first saw it too, till I realised that's what it was supposed to be. And it has been on my keys since then, I think its pretty cool now.
My favorite Hot Wheels to collect are off road vehicles and big ass trucks. I got a Dodge Macho Power Wagon with Batman on the side and a super cool Dodge Challenger with an American flag paint job and the engine jutting out of the hood. And an all silver Suberu BRAT. Those are some of my faves and I keep them on my dresser. Now I’m interested in the Hot Seat with the rat and the Sudster with the crocodile. Thanks for bringing those to my attention!
In a hot wheels unleashed OK maybe it doesn’t have the same stats but come on it’s still invisible well at least if you want on the tracks in real life

Fun toy history fact: Mattel was one of the first brands to revolutionize the new era of toys. Most toys before this were more things to fiddle with, like yo-yos and slinkies.

Also, my favorite Hot Wheels would be the Roadbeast Ballistik! Maybe I just thought Banji was a cool character as a kid, and that just stuck with me?
I love hotwheels unleashed too but i just kept it simple and used world race. I will do a video on hotwheel games soon tho where i talk about all of them
I really love hot wheels and own more than 120 of them, AND WHEN I SAW THE TITLE IT’S SO ACCURATE, I LOVED TO BUY THOSE WEIRD ONES AS A KID. Sick video!
3:32 NASCAR fan here. That is the exact paint scheme used by Ricky Craven driving in the NASCAR Cup Series from 2002 to 2004. He had only two wins and not a lot of good finishes, but had one memorable finish in particular. In the final laps of the 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400, Ricky Craven ran down race leader Kurt Busch getting side by side with him coming out of the last turn. Craven beat Busch to the finish line by only 0.002 seconds. It was the closest finish in NASCAR history at the time and is still tied for that honor.
Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” is one of the most well-known philosophical concepts in history. As such, it only makes sense that numerous filmmakers would try to incorporate this philosophy into their movies. But what exactly is it? And why does it work so well in the context of filmmaking? We’ll look at this concept as well as several films that have incorporated it excellently. It’s time to find the sun.
Virtually all philosophy descends from Plato. And this particular piece of philosophy routinely comes up in discussions of how humans perceive reality and whether there is any higher truth to existence.
This is a concept pondered and considered for thousands of years and we're still nowhere closer to an answer. Naturally, this is great material for literature and film. We'll go through this allegory in detail with examples from movies that were clearly inspired by Plato's cave.
First things first - what is Plato's "Allegory of the Cave"?
Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave" is a concept devised by the philosopher to ruminate on the nature of belief versus knowledge. The allegory begins with prisoners who have lived their entire lives chained inside a cave. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners are people carrying puppets or other objects. These cast shadows on the opposite wall. The prisoners watch these shadows, believing this to be their reality as they've known nothing else.
Plato posits that one prisoner could become free. He finally sees the fire and realizes the shadows are fake. This prisoner could escape from the cave and discover there is a whole new world outside they were previously unaware of.
This prisoner would believe the outside world is so much more real than that in the cave. He would try to return to free the other prisoners. Upon his return, he is blinded because his eyes are not accustomed to actual sunlight. The chained prisoners would see this blindness and believe they will be harmed if they try to leave the cave.
Despite being centuries old, the allegory is appropriate for filmmaking. After all, the audience watches images on a screen. We’re meant to believe it to be real, but we know it’s false. Only when we step out of the theater back into reality can we take what we’ve learned in the cinema and apply it to our lives.
But don't just take our Allegory of the Cave summary at face value. You would greatly benefit from reading it yourself.
i feel smart just reading this
Wrong vid?
Wow, this comment made me dumber!
I do quite enjoy Plato.
Sorry this is the wrong video
i played with hotwheels so much and remember having some rare ones, but i got rid of most of them and i regret doing that so much now. Ive bought a couple new ones just for nostalgia. Loved those things
6:41 when the Hot Wheels gets forklift certified
"I believe I made myself clear"... Daaaamn that triple invisibility pun hit me like a truck
Everytime I watch a video by you I forget you're the same person, so it's nice to know I'm already subscribed lol. Thanks for inciting another hyperfixation for me (even tho I'm on adhd meds and that shit rarely happens anymore)
Im always on some kind of hyper fixation lmao, i take it out by making videos on them like this. Actually puts the mental illness to good use LOL
@@PolygonDonut Isn't there another Yoda Car but with Yoda's head with wheels ?
Holy shit, I used to have one of those rare McD's variants, specifically the Lightning Speed one at 8:25. I think I buried it in my grandparents' old backyard somewhere in my old hometown.
So maybe someone will find an valuable treasure somewhen.
I have Lightning Speed.
Thats why those toys just disapear into the void lmao, we be doing sum crazy shit with them
@@karolkarol5788my hover deloreain disappeared into the void 5 years ago and reappeared 2 years ago
I also still have this at my grandparents house and I didn’t know it was that rare 😮
After watching this i got hit with the remembrance of the best hot wheels show that ever existed, Battle Force 5. Truly a masterpiece of its time
Always liked Cat-a-Pult. A rather heavy car with such compact design kinda fascinated me.
Honestly i love this kind of videos
The vibe you get is like you're at a Friend's house (or school) and you're talking about how cool are your toys
Back in the far back year of 2003, hot wheels made possibly the best children's movie ever (despite the ps2 lookin ahh graphics), Hot Wheels Highway 35. I found it on vhs at a thrift store when i was 2 years old, back in 2007, and honestly not only did it get me into hot wheels, but is probably the sole reason i love cars so much. Even if you don't care about hot wheels I'd still recommend you give this movie (and it's sequel series, Acceleracers) a watch.
Acceleracers based
@@PolygonDonut on god
I loved Acceleracers.
@@Protosilver97 fr
I grew up during the "Beat That" and Battle Force 5 eras of Hot Wheels from the mid-2000s into the early 2010s. Always good to see more Hot Wheels content on the site. Never see a lot of it unfortunately.
The donut cars being sold as a baker’s dozen is pretty funny
4:27 *I HAD ONE OF THOSE!!*
I was what, about tree or four years old at the time? I remember being so confused by this car that it get carved in my memory as the ghost it looked like...😓
Man I wasted 11 minutes of my life watching this masterpiece of a informative documentary.
9:10 I think it did. I do remember my parents coming home with something that looked like this before
I can't believe you didn't show off the Hot Wheels car that was designed specifically to have a GoPro on it. It's probably one of my favorite cars, simply because the POV vids fucking slap.
i love these types of videos, you should do more. its always fun to hear you talk! first it was about the meaning of weirdcore and now its about hotwheels, seems as if youre evolving. awesome.
Thank you!! :)))
@@PolygonDonut ofcourse!! you're my favourite content creator :')
@@somesunnerguy awaw thank you, glad you enjoy :)
@@PolygonDonut can you do beybalde next?
@Evening Inchworm thats awesome
My dad was a full on carnivore when I was younger, so we'd go to target like every day to get meat. They had a dollar bin of hot wheels and i got one every time. I remember I had that fidget toy thing and I'd bring it in the bath because it was light blue. Anyways, I don't know where it is now.
I think we had the same one with the same color
@@quick_light cool
The amount of hot wheels cars I killed in the bath via rust has to be in the double digits.
@@ding1466 wait, they can RUST in the bath?
@@spingleboygle guess the protective coating and paint can wear off
I still collect hotwheels, and I'm 21 years old. Hotwheels was my childhood. And I love cars in general.
Hot Wheels managed to bring out the inner petrol-head in me. Something that I didn't even think was possible. Looking back on my 2000's collection, I think most of my collection consisted of old school muscle cars, like the 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. I used to have a metal flake green one back in the 2000's, but I lost it along with the rest of my sets and cars. I re-started my collection in 2018 and it has grown exponentially ever since. I even found a new Mustang to replace the one I lost 20 years ago. :)
This man rambles about hot wheels and I love it keep it up broski 👍🏻
it's rare that a single video on a channel makes me want to instantly sub, this was the exception. This is my kind of content for sure
THANK YOU!!!
You know, this should be a great format for a documentary series of 2000s or so toys. Like, Bakugan or Beyblade
Or Lego.
Seriously, I found you today and I already LOVE the editing and jokes, it's brilliant!
Thank you so much!! I already have some more similar videos in the works :)) also nice ideas, i love bakugans and beyblades
3:13 this is a certified 💀 classic
Theres a hotwheels race competion in my country
And this one get banned somehow along with chevy pick up and go pro car
2:37 i gagged at that 60 fps gif
My modern favorite Hot Wheels models are Custom Small Block, and Brickin' Trail. These are building block vehicles that you can mix, and match parts to create new vehicles, plus, there's Brickin' Speed, a race car that ties into the unique play pattern of the other two. Also, I love the Corvette, and I always collect more than one example of each new release, and color.
3:56 So nostalgic. I will never forget the battle force 5 cars 😌
GRIP lore
I really need to rewatch BF5
Holy shit I remembered those things used to watch it
5:16 nah ah thats definitly liquid Plutonium
That’s definitely acid…
Your enthusiasm is infection dude, this video is so FUN
Fun Fact: The "Tide Pod Twin Mill" was based off of Ricky Craven's NASCAR Tide Car, aka the Tide Ride
Your reactions on the creature hot wheels were phenomenal lol
"Sharky hot wheel! Yippee!!"
You should check out the invisible boat mobile hot wheel, it’s my favorite one.
i cannot see
yo the emos father car is pretty cool,and invisible
Bro im sick but you making my night better. Thank you.
I was a 5 year old hot wheels mega collector I've amassed countless hot wheels through out my 16years and ill count down the 5 that I can remember off the top of my head.
1: the shark car (blue)
2: the Yoda car
3: a purple van with flames on it.
4: a rare golden car I got from a mystery set
And 5, the carbonator.
I only have one Hot Wheel, and it's one I got in 2004 from a McDonald's Happy Meal. It used to light up from the inside when a switch was flipped on the bottom of the car, but even though the battery's now dead and unreplaceable, it's still my favorite style of Hot Wheel. I had to do some research to figure this out, but it's a 2004 McDonalds-exclusive Hyperliner from the Blings series. I love the boxy style and huge wheels.
Sounds very cool
Yoo I got one of these when I was a little kid and my family was on vacation in the US. It was the coolest thing ever. I don’t know if I lost it, but when I checked my bag back at home, the car was gone. I’ve never gotten my hands on one of these again.
@@coneundflo5942 I foutd a few for sale on ebay, but there's no guarantee the batteries have any power left.
6:30 as a mexican i think car-de asada is the best fucking name you could give a taco shaped car
almost every time he pulls a diff hotwheel out i was like ooh i have that lol
I need more of this. This is just a really well-done video
Thank you!!!
Someone clip the Pongon 'YIPEE!' ( 7:14 )
8:33 I actually have one of these. My grandfather gave it to me when I turned 12.
WHAT?!?! ME TOO!!! MY GRANDMA GAVE IT TO ME WHEN I WAS 7!!!!!!!!
yoooo I appreciate the clip you used from one of styropyro's videos lmao
also, I had one of those 1999 McD's red double cars! no idea it was so rare now
This video really influenced me to go buy a couple of Hot Wheeles right now. You have such a funny and energetic personality, as well! Fantastic video, and I like your name!
thank youuu
3:51 funny😂
we need a part 2, to touch on the literal hotwheels movie
World race lore 💀
@@PolygonDonut exactly. its some deep shit man
Dont foeget the hotwheels x Forza Horizon collabs
Why are you forgetting Acceleracers?
I’m sorry what? There was a hot wheels movie???
Speed racer is unironiclly my favorite movie, I’ve watched it since I was three
6:54 wtf has science done
9:53 I found this one at the industrial section at Walmart
This was a really fascinating and entertaining video.👍
I just want to say about the Baker's Dozen donut cars is that I don't believe they were marketed specifically to girls, but rather the pink box was to emulate the prevalent use of pink donut boxes along the American West Coast.
Yeah maybe, i just wanted to jab at sexist marketing most toys have LOL
Lego at 0:06 be like:
Am i a joke to you
This is what makes hotweels awesome though, the fact that there are so many different kinds of cars.
When i saw the hot wheels 50 years documentary, I just thought to myself 'yep I'm collecting these now' I wanted to get like a thousand, but stopped at around 70 because I stopped being interested. So now i have something like 350€ worth of hotwheels sitting near me as I type this
You don’t want a thousand. You don’t stop there, and soon you have no place to put any of them, but you still buy more
The Hot Wheels car, Coupe Clip, is a keyring (/keychain depending where you live). I thought it looked stupid when I first saw it too, till I realised that's what it was supposed to be. And it has been on my keys since then, I think its pretty cool now.
I have one myself. They also come in Cherry Red.
I have one aswell lol
My favorite Hot Wheels to collect are off road vehicles and big ass trucks. I got a Dodge Macho Power Wagon with Batman on the side and a super cool Dodge Challenger with an American flag paint job and the engine jutting out of the hood. And an all silver Suberu BRAT. Those are some of my faves and I keep them on my dresser.
Now I’m interested in the Hot Seat with the rat and the Sudster with the crocodile. Thanks for bringing those to my attention!
3:45 "Or you can race in time attack and try to beat your ghost"
In a hot wheels unleashed OK maybe it doesn’t have the same stats but come on it’s still invisible well at least if you want on the tracks in real life
Fun fact: hotwheels didn't just make cars, they also did a toy train line and a set for the trains to ride on
Didn’t do so well, did it?
@@starmancrusader 乁( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ㄏ
9:08 can confirm I remember these, my mom said she remembers me getting mad if she didn't buy the one with the hot wheels on it when I was like 7 or 8
I KNEW THEY EXISTED YES!!!!
