HWTF 4-pack with DVD Only at Target

OK Ferrari fans here is the latest from the Hot Wheels Test Facility. This 4-pack currently only available at Target stores has 3 previously issued cars plus one exclusive Ferrari 458 Challenge. It’s rare to see a Ferrari in any other color then red, yellow, and black with a few uncommon colors thrown in. This one is a must have for Ferrari collectors, it’s metalflake green with black os3 wheels and plenity of Team Hot Wheels deco. I’m sure Ferrari had something to say about wheel color.  The 23 minute DVD includes amazing webisodes, clips from Double Loop Dare Stunt and interesting behind-the-scenes footage and more.

Boulevards, Retro Entertainment and Flying Customs

Just received the latest round of adult line releases thanks to Ken over at A&J Toys. Look under 2013 assortments for pictures of the current models. Some of my favorites in this round are: ’32 Ford from American Graffiti From the Retro series, the Datsun Bluebird 510 Wagon in the Boulevard series, and the ’73 Ford Gran Torino from the Flying Customs. I was really intrigued with the color of the wagon, I thought it was an interesting color choice and wondered what color it was. As I was searching the net I came across a great  article on Hot Wheels® designer Jun Imai http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2012/12/19/jun-imais-datsun-510-wagon/ and is 510 wagon. It must be nice to design your own car into a Hot Wheels® car. My only disappointment about the Hot Wheels® version is that it doesn’t have the same deco as Jun’s. Maybe in the furture….

’97 Ford F-150 Feature

A nice little feature on the ’97 Ford F-150 is the bed cover can be removed. On the latest release of the HW City #45 ’97 Ford F-150 is no exception. I have yet to see one but there have been claims from collectors finding it in blister-pack without the bed cover. It would be nice if Mattel could do a version with a camper shell. The Dodge Ram one doesn’t quite fit.
