Used to own this catwoman car, personal favourite.

I always, since youth, loved HotWheels for their quality.

But disliked it for unrealistic design.

Consider Tomica as an alternative I guess. They have more licensed car designs at the cost of more $$$. Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread but there's not much love for Hotwheels in Asia with Tomica around.

I apreciate them for doing something new in the early 2000s with their crazy modern and over the top caricature designs. And some vintage ones are cool.

But i've always been more of a Majorette and Matchbox guy because they had such nice suspensions and they were more prevalent here. Micromachines get an honourable mention too.

Matchbox Lesney productions superfast era are my favourite. I get all kinds of excited whenever i spot one in a thriftstore and don't care how fucked they are as long as they roll well. Especially the slightly more crazy ones struck a perfect balance between looking like a real-life counterpart but also modifying the proportions to suit a toylike feel and be recognizable at a small scale. Where 2000s and onwards hotwheels are often over the top and with slick style, these cars were just in the sweetspot between oldfashioned kidfriendly toyish and niche subculture angry hotrodding attitude. They also had amazing level of tight sculpted details, nintendium paintjobs that stay relatively intact after almost half a century of play and retain their amazing intense bright shiny colours.

good taste

I'm not much into them. My dad has a collection of the stars and stripes series(older series, not sure which year)

I mostly pick them up as gifts.

>>6064044
Mah nigga. I had a silver one that was my fav back in the day.

I think its amazing how these things have stayed pretty much $1 forever...if you think about the other shitty blind bag/kiddie toys in the aisle for 2.99, I think they are a steal

I kind of wish they would have a run of "boring" cars like tomica does

>>6074167

They remained at $1 because they replaced metal base with plastic base. And there are more and more coming out of the factory with defaults (misaligned wheels, bad tampo placement etc...). Some even don't roll straight.

I miss the time when for $1 you could buy a 100% metal diecast, exempt of default.

However, it has been 5-6 years that new interesting models appeared as >>6068085
stated. Jun Imai's designs are of the best quality, perfectly capturing the essence of a car. Hot Wheels was filled with badly done muscle cars for too long (narrow axles, HUEG rear wheels and such).

>>6074757

Superfast guy here, current matchbox doesn't really do it for me for the last decade or so. Mostly models i don't care about, poor wheels and graphicdesign. I honestly think hotwheels look better now for both crazy over the top stuff, more stock factory models and everything in between.

Do they still have bouncy suspension?

>>6075392
>Topleft
gnarly/10 love how the rounded shape continues to wrap around the bottom. You can just feel the weight of the thing. Redlines always look really good. Not my favourite colour perse but has a great finish and paintquality. Has visible interior.
>topright
Like the opulent colour and engine detail. The body is wavier wich is a nice take, but it also looks generally 'muddier'. While blacked out windows can look really cool (it definately looks cool here) i also feel it's just a way to cheap out on interior detail. Not a fan of superhots wheels.
pass/10
>bottomleft
Great enginedetail. While i understand the appeal of the caricature style cars, they mainly look retarded. Graphics look awful and unflattering to the design. The spokes of the frontwheels look way to thin to match the rear ones.
3/10
>bottomright
Overal shape is a lot better again and puts a more angular futuristic twist on it succesfully. Almost on the edge of caricaturistic with its tapered shapes, but keeps it subtle enough.While the paint has some glittery effect it looks a bit flat and dull. Very obvious muddy moulding with details that aren't as sharp as they could be. If the angles aren't straight and sharp as an arrow it makes undetailed surfaces just look cheap, this is very obvious on the nose and rear fender/windscreen area. Wheels aren't my favourite but are fitting and look alright.

How do you guys display/ store your hot wheels or matchbox cars? I'm getting a sizable amount, but don't know how to show 'em off

>>6079013
Clusterfuck lying all over the place so i can grab one anytime i feel like drive them around.

Two small cabinets with low drawers for the rest. Just make sure you make some sort of soft lining or trays to stop them from rubbing against eachother.

The Fairlady and the Kafer are very nice additions to the collection(i really like the look of the Kafer when they revealed it.) As for the Porsche, i already had one in another color but i'm a big Porsche fan so i got it anyway. And finally, I FOUND A YELLOW SUBMARINE AFTER MONTHS OF SEARCHING!

I was taking some pics to put on my Fb and this thread, but a nut on my tripod got loose and thus, i can't use it anymore. At least i got pics of 3 of the 4 cars.
