Looks like the black FD has Mazdaspeed MS02s?

Don't think so. Looks like just Wats to me.

And here I am still waiting for the other cargo carriers that aren’t the Ford Transit and Honda Odyssey.

The awesome and cool white one, yes? Completely agree. 👍

Hobby Exclusive Auto World Mustang. Good color for this casting.

 

[Zychotic1]

one of the guys on my Datsun groups started making these... knowing this group, I figured someone might be interested

 

[GTboyz]

For a pegwarmer, the Ford still looks badass, especially at this angle imo.

Cautiously optimistic for the BRE Datsun...

I'm not man.

Ssssssssssssssssssstop! It already looks better than the 240z BRE.

It already looks better than the 240z BRE.

Which is what exactly?

 

[Spacegoat]

Which is what exactly?

It doesn't appear to have monster truck tyres, like the 240z does. That's progress, I guess?

 

[a6m5]

I'm cautiously optimistic, hoping for an average casting.

That's what I'm sayin'!

So Hot Wheels designer Jun Imai ended his 14 year designing run with Mattel.

Wonder how soon his departure will be felt...

 

[yabiggoose]

So that means probably fewer new, overhyped JDM castings lol

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I haven't bought hotwheels in months, I've been busy with schoolwork. However, I took a trip to Walmart and ended up buying 12 cars.


I'm glad that I got a R30 Skyline at last, I missed out on the red one.

In all fairness though, the castings he puts out are pretty damn good....

Who designed the old R32 Skyline casting? That one wasn't the best (though I do like the Sweet Rods edition ).

Thank you. 👍 No real favorites in there, but couple of good ones.

Uh hello? Monoposto? Hyperliner??? TOONED TOYOTA MR2???!!!

*flips table* What is this no favourites you speak of?!

Another one that I got by luck:

I don't get the hate for the original R32 casting. It's actually a damn good replica of the M's Factory demo car from back in the day:

The proportions are good and it also has full chassis detailing which a lot of the newer Skyline castings seem to omit.

Sure a (more) stock version would have been better, but it was released at a time when HW mainly focused on tuned models.

It's a shame they never released a version in a flip paint (or something close to it) and gold wheels to replicate the original.

Because you can be the first to make a replica of it!
