Oldcarfan27 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Here's hoping Round 2 uses the Hot Wheels brand on many of their future kits. I can see a HW Ford Louisville hauler, a HW Dodge L700 car carrier, a HW Ford van (MPC kit please!), as well as a matching muscle car series. Dare I say - 69 Charger, 67 Camaro, 69 Barracuda or 69 Oldsmobile? If it works for collectible Coca-Cola, then the Mattel die-casts have a following too!

GMP440 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Is this just a reissue of the drag car Polar Lights Mr. Norms car that was a out a few years ago, but with the Hot Wheels theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 That's it. Round 2 has issued the Charger as Nelson Carter's Super Chief funny car prior to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 That kit's just begging for a few sheets of Bare Metal Foil 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you gotta use sponsorship, let's have it automotive (related) based! I'd rather have these decals in my stash than a bunch of Coke logos.

If I wanted to try to match the finish on that Hot Wheels thing, I think I'd at least give Krylon Silver Shimmer a try. (I've used the blue, and have the green and red. The Blue Shimmer job came out nice.) https://www.krylon.com/products/shimmer-metallic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Interesting that Mattel, a toy company, has licensed their branding to what is essentially another toy company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be the first time. AMT/Ertl had a line of 1/32 scale Hot Wheels branded kits back in the early 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody even remember when Mattel owned both Hot Wheels AND Monogram models at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find my box, but the 34 Sedan Delivery in the photo with the Blueprinter was a Hot Wheels labeled AMT kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon17 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Question for you Casey. The pledge revive it you used after you applied the decals do you always just brush that on? And do you do anything else after the pledge dries? Your build looks great! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
