Product Information

Hot Wheels introduces its first line of Character Cars with the launch of Toy Story Character Cars that year.

In 2005, Hot Wheels continued with new "extreme" castings for the 2nd year, debuting 40 distorted cars, in addition to 20 "Realistix" models. Harry Bentley Bradley did not think that would be the case and had quit Mattel to go back to the car industry.Many short segments were created and shown on the web with the drivers (grouped into teams: Teku, Metal Maniacs, the evil Racing Drones, and the stealthy Silencerz) handling many different racing conditions in "realms".

Design Director, Alec Tam debuted the Designers Challenge vehicles featuring designs from real automotive studios like Mitsubishi, Ford, Chevrolet, Lotus and Honda. Treasure Hunts are highlighted in green (but you’ll have to discover the Super Treasure Hunts for yourself).

An unknown number were made as test subjects and given to Mattel employees, and today there are only about 25 known to exist.

Packaged along with the cars were metal badges showing an image of the car so fellow collectors could identify each other and compare collections. Another celebrating moment was the creation on the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California. The initial prototypes of the Beach Bomb were faithful to a real VW Bus's shape, and had two surfboards sticking out the back window.

There are now only 5 main Series: 50 HW City Rides cars, 25 HW Imagination Cars, 25 HW Stunt cars, 50 HW Racing Cars, and 100 HW Showroom cars, for a total of 250 cars for the year. It was the combination of all of these ingredients — speed via the low-friction wheel/axle assembly and racing tires, looks due to Spectraflame paint and mag wheels, plus the inclusion of very American themes such as hot-rod designs based on true American prototypes not seen in great numbers in the competition's product lines — that laid the groundwork for the incredible success story Hot Wheels were to become. The early years of Hot Wheels are known as the Redline Era as until 1977 the wheels had a red line etched around the tire rim.Hot Wheels started offering models based off of 80's economy cars, like the Pontiac Fiero or Dodge Omni 024. It was largely ceremonial to have him reach the number 40 but Larry continues to be involved in the hobby and consult with the Designers. The Hot Wheels Collectors Club released a new, updated version of the rear loading Beach Bomb in 2002 as a limited edition. Foust smashes the previous world record by an impressive 31 feet at the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500. In 1983 McDonald's first released Hot Wheels in their Happy Meals and the same year the Hot Wheels production plant was moved to Malaysia.
