Changes: Roller Toaster

Revision as of 19:50, 2 November 2019

Description

The Roller Toaster is a Hot Wheels original model designed by Ryu Asada. Ryu tells in the All Access blog on the Hot Wheels YouTube Channel that he got the idea for this model from the 24 Hours of Lemons in his mind (a play on the 24 Hours of Le Mans race). He imagined race car drivers getting their car from the junkyard and adding wings and pigtails, and he thought about something he would like to see on a car. After seeing a toaster he thought, Hmm, what if I put the wheels on a toaster? When the wing is pressed down, the bread drops down in the toaster. When releasing the wing, the 'toasted' bread pops up.
