The return of #Hot Wheels Boulevard in 2020 has been a welcomed addition in the eyes of collectors. Three waves into the star-studded lineup, we’ve seen a terrific array of diecast diversity. The line has showcased all kinds of cars the Hot Wheels team could see themselves in, including a few they have actually driven!

Apparently, each mix will feature a car from the Hot Wheels “Garage of Legends” — Mattel’s garage of 1:1 Hot Wheels. The site for the cars is inconveniently down at the time this article was published, but if you’ve been a collector for a while, you can probably recall most of them. From the 2020 #Boulevard line alone: the #’67 Camaro, ’18 COPO Camaro, this #’66 Pontiac GTO have all been released, with the #Twin Mill coming in mix D.

Instead of re-releasing the old Hot Wheels ’67 Pontiac GTO casting, Hot Wheels designer #Mark Jones Designed the new #’66 Pontiac GTO as a premium replacement for the ’67 GTO casting he designed over 20 years ago.

The infamous #Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z nicknamed the “Rotsun” now joins a long list of famed #TV & Movie Cars courtesy of a promotion between Hot Wheels and MotorTrend. For fans of the show — like myself — the Rotsun has seen many lives. From its days as a rusty, old 240Z (bought for only $500), to racing autocross down the road from me at Westworld of Scottsdale, to competing — well, trying to — at the 24 hours of Lemons; the Rotsun has taken on a persona of its own.</code><code>Orange Track Diecast</code><code>Hot Wheels Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z (Rotsun), a 2020 MotorTrend / Roadkill Exclusive</code><code>Thanks to this special promotion by Hot Wheels x MotorTrend, Hot Wheels collectors received the “before version” back in June, complete with a one-of-a-kind, rust deco on the existing Hot Wheels #Datsun 240Z casting. The second part of the package deal which also included a year’s subscription to the MotorTrend app is the Rotsun which is a completely new Hot Wheels casting designed by famed Hot Wheels premium designer, Mark Jones.</code><code>Orange Track Diecast</code><code>Hot Wheels Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z “Rotsun” (after), a 2020 MotorTrend / Roadkill Exclusive with the Datsun 240Z (before) … Head-to-Head</code><code>Since there was an overwhelming response to the subscription offer when it went on sale back in April, Hot Wheels and MotorTrend decided to (once again) present a limited time offer to Hot Wheels collectors: the Rotsun plus a year’s subscription to the MotorTrend App for only $29.99. So, if you missed out on the Rotsun, you still have a chance to own the newest premium Hot Wheels car. NOTE: Collectors that placed their orders back in April will still receive their Rotsun as part of the original package deal. Rotsun is expected to ship in November.</code><code>Orange Track Diecast</code><code>Hot Wheels Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z (Rotsun), a 2020 MotorTrend / Roadkill Exclusive (side view)</code><code>The Rotsun is in rare company as far as Hot Wheels #Promotional Vehicles go as not many castings have been created from scratch with that sole purpose. Hot Wheels could have simply applied some extra graphic details to the #Datsun 240Z casting, but no… they went all-in with by creating the #Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z (Rotsun) casting.

This custom 2-piece engine is truly special, as its something you don’t see on a lot of Hot Wheels premium cars. Hot Wheels designs are known for having character elements as part of their custom design, but since this car is a character in its own right, Hot Wheels had to get this one right — and they did!</code><code>Apart from the completely custom engine that was thrown into this built-from-scratch Hot Wheels casting, the body of the #Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z also has a few features that separate it from other Hot Wheels #Z castings from that era. First of all, this casting has side mirrors. Collectors love to hate on Hot Wheels cars without side mirrors and since this one wasn’t built for the orange track…

Hot Wheels Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z “Rotsun” (after), a 2020 MotorTrend / Roadkill Exclusive with the Datsun 240Z (before) … Head-to-Head
Since there was an overwhelming response to the subscription offer when it went on sale back in April, Hot Wheels and MotorTrend decided to (once again) present a limited time offer to Hot Wheels collectors: the Rotsun plus a year’s subscription to the MotorTrend App for only $29.99. So, if you missed out on the Rotsun, you still have a chance to own the newest premium Hot Wheels car. NOTE: Collectors that placed their orders back in April will still receive their Rotsun as part of the original package deal. Rotsun is expected to ship in November.

The Rotsun is in rare company as far as Hot Wheels #Promotional Vehicles go as not many castings have been created from scratch with that sole purpose. Hot Wheels could have simply applied some extra graphic details to the #Datsun 240Z casting, but no… they went all-in with by creating the #Custom ’71 Datsun 240Z (Rotsun) casting. They even added the mismatched set of #Real Riders with a varying rim-to-tire size (back vs. front) just like the real car.

<b>Land Rover, Real Riders, and Marvel. This SDCC Exclusive is what Hot Wheels does.</b>

Even the yearly comic con event in San Diego didn’t go off as planned. Suffice to say, there was a virtual convention, but without the in-person hypefest that usually persists, it just wasn’t the same. Mattel plans toys 18 months in advance (on average), so there was no predicting COVID-19 or its displacement factor, hence why the yearly #SDCC Exclusives were still made — and subsequently released. The absence of an event forced Mattel to sell the SDCC exclusives online via the Mattel Creations web site to the general public. The items sold out within minutes — as expected — as the Hot Wheels fan base zeroed in on a brand-new #Land Rover casting with two familiar characters from the Marvel universe in the back: Hulk and Rocket.</code><code>QUICK LINK! Search for SDCC Exclusive Avengers Land Rover on eBay.</code><code>Orange Track Diecast</code><code>Hot Wheels Land Rover Defender 110 Pickup Truck with Hulk & Rocket, a 2020 SDCC Exclusive (rear view)</code><code>It doesn’t get more Hot Wheels than this. Over the last few years, Hot Wheels has introduced an onslaught of #Land Rover castings. They have also released a good amount of #Marvel licensed vehicles between the #Character Cars, #Pop Culture, and Themed Assortments. This #SDCC Exclusive release clearly combines the two while mixing in a pair of classic Hot Wheels #Real Riders. This is Hot Wheels in the 2020s: Land Rover, premium, Real Riders, and Marvel.</code><code>Orange Track Diecast</code><code>Hot Wheels Land Rover Defender 110 Pickup Truck with Hulk & Rocket, a 2020 SDCC Exclusive (with other recent HW Land Rovers)</code><code>A little background on this piece. The scene is from Avengers: Endgame (2019) where Hulk and Rocket hitch a ride to New Asgard to ask fat Thor for his help. The vehicle is only in the opening shots of the scene but you can clearly see that this muddy dark blue w/ white roof #Land Rover Defender 110 Pickup Truck is weighed down in the back — almost giving it a reverse rake. Check out those mud flaps dragging on the ground! Clearly, the vehicle is compensating for the weight of Hulk, and it’s awesome that Hot Wheels didn’t skimp on the details when it came to that.</code><code>Media</code><code>The details are always what makes Hot Wheels #SDCC Exclusives so cool. Given their low runs and one-off toolings, these releases probably don’t net Mattel much in profit, but SDCC is all about the cool factor and releases like this certainly convey that. They are hyp pieces that generate excitement across multiple fan bases. How nerdy is it to have a whole diorama surrounding the establishing shot of a single scene? For fans of the #Avengers movies, its the perfect nerd moment; for Hot Wheels fans its cool to have another #TV & Movie car. If you’re a fan of both, the nerd factor hits you on both fronts, and you’re right there with me grinning ear to ear.</code><code>Orange Track Diecast</code><code>Hot Wheels Land Rover Defender 110 Pickup Truck with Hulk & Rocket, a 2020 SDCC Exclusive (side view)</code><code>As with most #SDCC Exclusives, Hot Wheels steps up its game when it comes to the packaging. No, this one doesn’t have any electronics in it, nor does it open in a clever way. What is cool is that the trapezoidal inner display box features a large window that lets you view the scene in 3D as the mountainside has cliffs that extend out into the diorama, along with a “Welcome to New Asgard. Please Drive Slowly” sign that protrudes the ground. Just like the scene, you are viewing the truck from the back as Hulk and Rocket are sitting in the …

The ’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale from 2020 Hot Wheels Boulevard is one new model you can’t pass up

Saving page now... https://orangetrackdiecast.com/2020/10/01/69-alfa-romeo-33-stradale-2020-hot-wheels-boulevard/ As it appears live October 5, 2020 7:08:58 PM UTC MediaMediaShowcaseI came across a picked-over assortment of #Hot Wheels Boulevard yesterday at one of my local Walmarts. Gone were the Skyline, Kool Kombi, and new Toyota AE86 from the latest assortment of this #Walmart Exclusive line. It puzzled me how someone could leave what I consider the best car in the wave behind. No, I’m not some cult follower of #Alfa Romeos, let alone this specific car that I’ve most likely never seen a 1:1 of before. Rather, it’s this curvy Italian design from the 1960s that is in its stock, fiery red paint that is the real draw here.Orange Track DiecastHot Wheels ’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale from the 2020 HW Boulevard line (side view)It is hard to believe that the #First Edition of the #’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a #Walmart Exclusive here in the United States as this is truly a car that should be released on a much larger scale. Of course, as I say that, I really hope this mix of #Boulevard shows up in Europe as I know there are some #Alfa Romeo fans there that can appreciate such a design. Being that this is a new casting in a somewhat limited release — in its stock deco to boot — it’s hard to imagine us getting a better version of this casting somewhere down the line.Orange Track DiecastHot Wheels ’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale from the 2020 HW Boulevard lineFiery red paint is one thing, but the casting execution by Hot Wheels designer, Mark Jones, is another. Not only was he tasked with capturing the curves of the 1:1 car in 1:64 scale, but his decision to have the window piece poke through the body to form the massive signature headlights of the #’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale was a great call.QUICK LINK! Find available ’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradales for sale.The large windows of this car provide a chance for natural light to shine through, showing off an often underappreciated element of Hot Wheels cars: the interiors. To the casual observer, most interiors tend to blend together as seats, and steering wheels are mostly unexcitable at this scale in a single color. When there is a mid-engine involved in the design however, your first instinct is to check the number of cylinders, then comes playful engine roars as you push the car across the nearest flat surface. Yeah, mid-engine Hot Wheels are fun. Sometimes you pity the cardboard collector…Orange Track DiecastHot Wheels ’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale from the 2020 HW Boulevard line (engine close-up)The #Boulevard #’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is ultra-cool and I’m glad whoever it was, left it behind. The vent detail on this thing is amazing and traditionally I just love the color red on an #Exotic car. The gray #Real Riders 8-Spoke Wheels cap off this car’s luxurious feel. Oh, and I see you exhaust detail there in the back.Orange Track DiecastHot Wheels ’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale from the 2020 HW Boulevard line (rear view)Hopefully, this wave of #Boulevard is hitting in your neck of the woods as well. I can’t wait to find the others, but should you have to choose one car from this mix, go with the #’69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. There is no telling what the future holds for this casting as it could be done in a wide array of colors, or it could be a one & done. Either way, it doesn’t seem like we will see another red version soon, so if you choose to collect the most realistic deco for a casting, this is it.Post navigationFollow ORANGE TRACK DIECAST on WordPress.comTranslate%d bloggers like this:
