Unknown HW Images Drop Blog

sSometimes I have soo many images of Hot Wheels items that I do not know where to put some of them. As stated in my pages description I like to collect the oddities that from HW, and I can take a picture to prove their existence, but they are so odd, that I'm not going to page a page for them (example: a page for HW crayons, mask, tin box, etc.).

So I figured I could make this blog just to drop images of these weird items, and if YOU know of a spot or page that these images can be used, you have my full permission to use them. Thank you!

i'm posting this so I can show people I am not making it up. I swear I saw this image and cannot find where. As you can barley see this was for the Batmobile 9-Pack. This image came out around the time alot of themed 6 or 9-pack where released, so roughly in 2021/2. I don't care much for the Batmobiles but the The Dark Knight Batmobile (Tumbler) in Black with White camo looked really cool and not a custom. Unfortunately I cropped this image so I cant reverse find where it came from. So any help would be great. The later I don't see any news of this, the more I believe it's a custom.

This is not HW. I just need help identifying this car. I got it cus I love Dodge Vipers and NFS Prostreet. It look like it came from some promo or Happy Meal but I cant find where.

There is a Dodge Challenger with the same promo. But idk where these car came from. There is a Hole in the rear for a launcher or something. Any info about this diecast would help (EDIT: Mystery Solved. This is from a 2007 Subway Happy Meal Promo. Thanks User:Combatbot2015!)

There is a Purple Passion version as well

This listing caught my eye because this appears to be a Rare, never discovered, NASCAR...

...there is a 1:24 version of this variant but the pictures appear to be the more desired 1:64 version....

....even this listing simply says this is a 1:54 scale car. There is no 1:54 scale NASCAR, did the seller mean to say 1:64!?!?

I have tried to come in contact with the seller ever since they took the listing down and they have never responded. I need to post these images to prove I'm not making this variant up, but in a way that editors won't delete the pics. Maybe Ill find another in the future to confirm it's existence.

I dont think this is a HW item but rather a Toy of a #44 HW NASCAR. If you disagree, feel free to put this in the Gallery of the correct page or create a page.

An interesting section I found in the book. I am wondering if there is any media, images or News article about this. I do know there was a car associated with this event.

Some castings that I am too lazy to make for the 1:18 series. From Left to Right they are Dodge Viper GTS-R (1:18), Chrysler Panel Cruiser (1:18), BMW Z8 (1:18), Slightly Modified, Porsche 911 (1:18), Cadillac LMP (1:18)

I thought this was cool, but there doesn't seem to be a "series" to warrant a page. This is the only car I could find.

This always bothered me for the 1997 Pro Racing line, but the Blister for the #43 STP car features a car that HW never made. This mostly Blue with Red sides #43 car came from 1996. Though the 2000 variant looks similar, it is different.

Toys & Hobbies 1972 Catalog

Jeff Gordon Matchbox NASCAR, the Super Stars series which ran from 1990?-1996. Yea since I have 95% of the HW Pro Racing line I am checking into this series on an old Mattel owned series.

This is an eBay listing of a group of NASCARs for sale. In the lot, at the Top Left, 3rd car down, is the infamous 2000 #42 Bellsouth Mobility car. This image is just to prove that others exist, this is the 2nd one I have ever seen, and this car is very rare!

HW Chalk Holders 5-Pack

So lately I have been collecting the Matchbox NASCARS line; the "Super Stars" series which is a line starting in 1990? - 1996. Amusingly 1997 is the year the HW Pro Racing series starts. And considering Matchbox is owned by Mattel I see it as a continuation.

Phil Parson's 1993 #29 Matchbox Chevy Lumina vs Kyle Petty's 1997 #44 Hot Wheels Pontiac Grand Prix Stocker

One thing I already picked up is the Matchbox 1996 Pontiac Grand Prix (left) is a rare casting. Only 4 variants exists, 2 of them being Christmas promotions. I have the #22 MBNA car, need to find the #36 Skittles car.

At this show I got probably the coolest Big Scale NASCAR. First it rolls with rubber tires (okay) but then its got a clock & alarm (ah alright) but its also got a working radio (no way) and lastly it's got a lazer that projects the time (no freakin way!).

From the 1988 Mattel Catalog is a bad image of the Sight N Smash set that is too ugly to create a page for, for now. Below is the Speed Trigger set.

Cool thing I bought at a discount store, a Ghostbuster Ecto 1 Blue Tooth speaker, now I am always ready to party on Halloween!

TYCO Firebird Funny car

This is an image I've had for along time ago. This was from one of those sellers that post un-rivited prototype cars that are soon to come out. As of now, all the other cars in my saved folder have been released or planned to be released. But this interesting Custom '67 Pontiac Firebird variant, I have still not heard about. And just in case this variant never comes out, I am posting the image here. If there is news about this car finally coming out, I will delete this image.

Motorcycle prototype. The name of the series is on the tip of my tongue, came out in the early 2000s as part of a (1/32?) scale Motorcycle series. Help me out yall :P (Bruce Pascal collection)

This was a cool idea for an Easter (2025) prize for my local diecast group. Finding these clear Egg shape canisters I filled it up with HW products. They reminded me of the early/ mid 2000s, when HW actual released these huge Easter eggs filled with 4-5 of their random products for Easter. Unlike HW baskets these days which dont have atleast 1 car :P
