These represent some of Jakks finest work on the Classic Superstars line, but they aren’t always on the top of people’s mind when they think of the Classics line. These are The Sleepers. Dibiase was an awesome addition to the line in series 3. He comes with great accessories, and his parts selection is pretty…
I really enjoy the Ultra Hots line. Maybe it’s the store exclusive part, but I enjoy completing sub-series like these. This particular set has produced some good and some bad, but these are always interesting. Trying out a new grading system here. If the car is good, it gets a point, and if not, it…
Continuing a tradition from 2021 and 2020, here is my annual ranking of the Hot Wheels Regular Treasure Hunts. As always, it’s a mixed bag of quality and interest with these. However, the rarity on these have increased, with more “dud” cases showing up with no Hunts at all. Previously, you could generally count on…
Hot Wheels’ Neon Speeders line launched with potential, but the latest wave is more shelf-warmer than standout. At a $3.49 price point, collectors expect quality — but low-effort paint jobs, generic wheels, and underwhelming casting choices have made this Walmart-exclusive series a letdown.
2021 has been a very difficult year when it comes to collecting Hot Wheels. #15-11: A fantasy casting that was actually somewhat popular among newer collectors this year, but compared to what came after it, this one is the worst for 2021. Batmobiles have been Treasure Hunts before, and before then, and before that, and…
What Are Hot Wheels ZAMAC Editions? ZAMAC is an acronym for the Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper alloy that Hot Wheels and other die-cast toy cars are made from. These are known as Zamac Editions, or Zamacs. A ZAMAC car is basically an unpainted car and/or base. Some designs will still be found, but the car would be clear-coated bare metal otherwise….
As a companion to my previous post about the various WWE Title belts made by Mattel, here is a checklist of AEW Title Belts that have been released by Jazwares for the AEW action figure line. This is not a line that I collect, but it is good to have the information gathered for collectors.
The Jakks WWE Classic Superstars line is iconic. It was the first serious attempt at a “retro” series of figures. In 26 waves, plus 2 and 3 packs, and exclusives, Jakks compiled a huge roster of talents from all eras. However, not all of the releases were hits. These are my personal worst of the…
The Hot Wheels Heritage Series, Redlines and Real Riders was first released in 2015 to replace the short lived Hot Wheels Cool Classics. The castings of the Heritage Series come in two wheel segments: Real Riders and Redlines. Real Riders were typically found at Target, while Redlines were more often found at Walmart. Kroger received both as well. These would be…
In a third installment following my favorite WWF Hasbro figures as well as my least favorite, I decided to add a third list: the sleepers. These are ones who in my opinion are among the best in the line, even if they’re not my personal favorite. The criteria I was looking for was: accurate attire,…
