Description[]
Red Rooster is an Australian fast food chain founded in 1972 that specializes in roasted chicken dishes.
Hot Wheels partnered with the brand for six months in 2000 and 2001 using a third party organization and toy manufacturer Just Premiums Pty Ltd. (now named Positive Directions Pty Ltd.) to source and retool castings from Golden Wheel Die Casting Fty Ltd. and Maisto for promotions. Releases were free inclusions within "Little Red Rooster Kids Meal" boxes. All castings were labelled on packaging as "Hot Wheels Premium Die Cast" and "HOTWHEELS PROMOTIONAL VEHICLE". Some models featured two-piece wheel types and are prone to paint bubbles and peeling with age.
