[HotWheels] 1/? フォード アングリア (105E)
ハリーポッターで空飛んでたクルマをレーサー仕様に仕立てた1台。ヘッドライトの庇が瞼やまつ毛みたいでチャーミングだ。
小型車らしく小さく作られてる事に加えて、フェンダーからボディ、ボディからキャビンと2段階で絞り込んでいるので余計に小さく感じる。そこがまた可愛らしい。<841>

Hotwheels (assorted cars)
by Mattel
This post is going to be an assortment of Hotwheels cars that I’ve bought recently.
I don’t remember exacty when I got any of these Hot Wheels, but I figured posting them as a group would help cut down my queue by a little bit.
Street Beasts:
Turtoshell
Turtoshell is a car in the form of a turtle. Yea, that’s it.
Actually I love it; it’s such a fun car.
You got this cyber nature turtle on wheels with the turtle shell having engine components with the flippers and the head cast in a green plastic.
It’s got painted one eyes, I suppose to resemble headlights. It would have been nice if they were sculpted too, but there’s already so much sculpted detail on this things I guess the headlights were a bridge too far.
It rolls well, it looks good, and I like it.
HW Glow Wheels:
Aero Pod
The Aero Pod is part of the ‘Glow Wheels’ collection. It’s basically a party van moonrover. Yea, that’s it.
It’s got a lot of bright yellow/green coloring and paint effect.
The front canopy seats three. Who knows what’s suppose to be in back.
After exposing the Aero Pod a lamp for about 30 minutes and the wheels do glow a little bit. It’s a fun idea but personally I’m not going to play with my toy cars in the dark.
Retro Racers:
GT-Scorcher
The GT-Scorcher is a green race car. Yea it looks pretty cool, and it kind of reminds me of the Autobot Wheeljack.
The Scorcher has a lot of advertisements all over the car, and even the ‘Hotwheels’ brand on the spoiler.
Ultra Hots:
‘87 Buick Regal GNX
The Buick Regal, for me, is a reminder of the 80′s. My dad had a car like this, and when I saw this I kind of had to get it.
This burgundy with some orange stripes painted on it.
The wheels are a little to silly for me; Hot Wheels has been using those types of wheels since the 90′s I think. I guess if it ain’t broke...
HW Screen Time:
X-34 Landspeeder
Luke Skywalker’s landspeeder from the first Star Wars movie.
This thing’s got a lot of molded detail, and paint deco isn’t too bad either.
No driver for the landspeeder, but that’s par for the course for HotWheels cars.
It’s got 4 wheels, and it rolls okay on a smooth surface.
Character Cars:
Captain Rex
These Character Cars are pretty fun too, and I had to get Captain Rex from the Clone Wars series.
The Capatin Rex vehicle is an SUV which has the look of the clone captain’s helmet.
It’s got a molded Republic symbol on the back covering the spare tire.
Notches from all the battle droid it’s destroyed...at least I so. Would suck if it was little old ladies...
You see some molded detailed guns on the sides of the SUV.
The Captain Rex car is really cool, it rolls well, and generally looks cool.
Matchbox
1936 Ford Coupe
The Matchbox Ford is the only outlier of the group considering it isn’t a Hotwheels product.
I don’t have too much to say about it other than it’s a classic car from a bygone era, and it looks great.
It rolls well, looks sharp, that’s about it.
They don’t make cars like this anymore.
Final Thoughts:
There’s something about toy cars that just brings out the little kid in me. These are all pretty fun,
Each one of these is fun in different ways, but I have to say my favorite has to be the 86 Buick Regal, since as a kid my parents had one. What can I say, I’m an 80′s kid at heart.
