HW Premium MOTU Land Shark

 It's been a minute since I picked up any Hot Wheels, but I had to pick up this new Hot Wheels Masters of the Universe Land Shark! I have a full size MOTU Origins Series Land Shark on preorder, so I thought this would keep me entertained until it ships. Check out the video...

I feel like Mattel should have made this casting a little bigger- While it captures the Land Shark aesthetics, it's somewhat puny. Another miss would be the inability to pose the jaw open- frankly, I was a little surprised the jaw didn't open and close when rolling the casting.

HW Character Cars MOTU Beastman & Man-At-Arms

 There are five cars in the new Hot Wheels Masters of the Universe Character Cars Series, my two favorite being the Beastman and Man-At-Arms! It's been a minute since I picked up any Hot Wheels, but I couldn't resist these cool MOTU interpretations! Check out the video...

HW Bogzilla

There were Hot Wheels designed to accommodate an minifigure prior to the HW Ride-Ons Series, such as the Let's Go, and MegaBloks had an entire Hot Wheels line a few years ago that I absolutely  loved. But aside from my recent post on the HW Holiday Hot Rods Pedal Driver, these Bogzilla castings new in 2018 are the only official Ride-Ons I've featured on the blog so far. I admired the forward pitch and chunky body on this casting. The design team at Hot Wheels was particularly thoughtful drawing action figure/Lego enthusiasts by make a toy promoting cross-play among different lines of toys. Really fun!

I picked up the two gold Bogzilla with muddy tires for my Mega Construx Call of Duty Specialist Battery 

& Vladimir Makarov to tool around in, but a Lego minifig like my Iron Spider really fits better.

HW 2018 Holiday Hot Rods Series Pedal Driver

The 2018 HW Holiday Hot Rods Series included six cool castings, one of which I could not pass up, 

the Pedal Driver, which is fun for my Hot Wheels Mega Bloks figure to ride in! Check out the video:

HW '16 Honda Civic Type R & '90 Civic EF

The '16 Honda Civic Type R & '90 Civic EF from the Hot Wheels 2016 Then & Now Series! 

Check out the video:

I finally cobbled these two complementary Civics together, recently picking up the '16 Honda Civic Type R at a local Target. Oddly, I saw another pair at Target soon thereafter, a full two years after their 2016 release. I left those behind for some other lucky kid to find! Somewhere I have the 2014 red and teal debut of the '90 Civic EF, as well as a couple other samples from 2015- what a great casting!

HW Custom Ford Maverick

It's easy to pass over this Custom Ford Maverick, but off the card it's a beauty! From Hot Wheels Wikia: This custom 1972 Ford Maverick is based on a real car created in 2016 by Sung Kang, who previously built the Datsun Fugu-Z (another Hot Wheels model). Originally titled "Project Underdog" or "UDog", the restomod Maverick was designed and built at SEMA Garage with Penzoil sponsorship and the help of three Los Angeles area high school students (symbolized by the "U3" logo seen on the sides and rear). Contrary to the Hot Wheels card text, the UDog has a 2.3L four-cylinder Ford EcoBoost engine (from the 2015 Mustang) boosted with a GReddy turbocharger supplying nearly 400 horsepower to the 6-speed manual transmission (also borrowed from the Mustang). The car features a Rocket Bunny custom body kit, a Grabber-style carbon-fiber hood, and subtle cues from the Brazilian Mavericks built in the late '70s.
