LOVE new Dodge mainline!
True 1/64 scale, 60s proto-muscle design.

I'm pretty sure this was their inspiration. Even red wheels, just swapped around.

Got back into hot wheels collecting after revisiting a old movie I enjoyed from a pink rabbit of all people. Got a acceleracers silver series and have been getting cars I considered cool ever since. Its nice to get back into a hobby, and its affordable and you can go hunting for older cars that are interesting to look at as well, that ain't to bad in price.

>>11795490
Only as exclusive, this is the first time in mainline.

HAHA they actually did it

File: dodge330.jpg (269 KB, 922x1407)

>>11795490
Yes, but never as mainline, only these 4 releases, 2 of them seem to be Mattel.com exclusive and one is Kroger exclusive. Ultrahots was hard to get too.
>>11795532
Yes, first time in mainline. It's a really great cast of Max Wedge era classics.

>>11795304
>LM002
oh nice. Tho I don't remember ever seeing it in any of the movies

Looking good anon, welcome back. You gonna try to get the rest of the Acceleracers? Wishing you luck if so.
>pink rabbit
It's Pippa, isn't it? She showed the movies, like, 3 times, lol. And then bought a massive tub of Hot Wheels and went through them all on stream. Fun times. I think she genuinely inspired a lot of her viewers to start collecting, or to get back into doing so, so you're not alone.

Got a couple more today, they were on sale at Save On Foods again. The Bently was from a Dollar Store I stopped in at. It and the Slide-Burn both have metal bodies, the Blitzspeeder (middle, green & pruple) is plastic body/metal chassis.
I am running out of room on my desk, but I can still fit a few more here yet...

File: P1010227.jpg (1.67 MB, 3264x2448)

>>11796491
Also, I read on the wiki that the new Revert has the hover jets on the underside... and, sure enough, it does! Very cool.

>>11796491
Slide Burn is amazing 70s fantasy vibe

i generally dont browse this general
but to the anon putting on real riders on the spychangers?

that's fucking rad bro.

It's pretty awesome. Great side profile. Kind of like a mashup between a Corvette C3 and a Mustang (or some other pony car). Front-mid engine too by the look of it, which is rare. This metalflake olive + black paint scheme is also really nice, especially with the metallic red on the rims.

>>11795334
>>11796193
I was watching Pippa's attempt at making hotwheels into keychains and it made me want to get an inexpensive one and turn it into a keychain.

>>11796536
>Kind of like a mashup between a Corvette C3 and a Mustang
More like mix of Mustang and Dodge Charger III concept.

>>11796495
You know, in hindsight, they could've called it "RE: Verb".

>everything looks fine from the package
>Opens it and turn around

I know these things is only like 1 USD
But can't they at least do something about the paper material that is in direct contact with the left side of the vehicle?

I'm pretty sure the tampo always get screwed up because how rough the packaging is.
Like nobody complained to Mattel about this like ever?

I usually don't go in for trucks but couldn't say no to this monster.

Surprised to get a factory racing livery on a mainline pegwarmer...usually they save that for the pay-extra editions.

>>11796984
Not always. Last year they put HKS T002 livery as a mainline.

Something I learned about my Ford Escort tonight: it looks like a basic enamel paint at first glance, but it's actually metalflake! It's very subtle, practically invisible under normal lighting, but if you shine a flashlight at it, you can see it.
I already liked this casting, but I like it even more now.

It wouldn't pass anyway. Chink cheapo 80s crappy metal falls apart. I'm glad I found okay-ish shell but that front had to go - cast too bad to even try to rework it, had to swap for a better one. Unfortunately hood cracked. Is'ts still early in progress. Putty and strengthening body structure next.

File: P1010267.jpg (1.83 MB, 3264x2448)

Not sure how I feel about the Blitzspeeder, honestly. I dug the blister out of the recyclables bin, might tape it back together and give it to a kid of a friend or relative as a present or something. Something about it just looks off to me, looks kind of cheep or plastic-y (which it technically is) or something, doesn't fit in with the rest of my collection, even though about half of them actually ARE plastic. Maybe it's the colours, maybe it'll grow on me, I dunno. What do you guys think?

>>11795304
I'm going to go ahead and guess that Brian's Supra and Skyline and Han's RX-7 are going to fly off the shelves and be a dick and a half to find at retail like they always do.

File: 1754333838060600.jpg (219 KB, 1980x711)

>>11798176
just pre order, like now.
That said.. I already have Han's veilside and the A80 (both time micro), and even though the fast&speed (sic) supra is definitely more accurate, it's fine.
I will look into the r34s ( mine with hood closed are ugly), especially since the mini gt C-West seems to have a pretty good livery.
I'll definitely get the Mona Lisa, Suki's S2000, and some American Horsepower.

>>11798204
Looks nice, I love the decals on that.

>>11798260
and it's the only 1/64 with the targa option atm

Went to the thrift to get some hot wheels to customize. These are the pack I picked out. Only the Acceleracer appears to be plastic. Going to try my hand at some Gaslands builds.

>>11798340
Oops forgot the pic like a dumdum.

>>11795612
Not even released yet and mini gt has already fallen into the "making cars that only appears a micro second in the entire franchise" pitfall that plague hotwheels fnf line for years.

The lm002 and green mustang spot should've been Dom's Rx 7 and the yellow r33 from the first movie.

Why does someone have to die to cast these?

>>11798362
It's part of the dark ritual practiced steeped through years of tradition in order to craft the perfect miniature cars for personal enjoyment.

>>11798388
You could say they're to die for

File: Screenshot_20260527_222009_Gallery.jpg (916 KB, 1439x1039)

Acceleracers keychain. Fuck yeah.

File: P1010323.jpg (1.33 MB, 3264x2448)

I owe the Escort a proper close-up, so here it is in the evening sun, which brings out the metalflake sparklies really nicely. In hindsight I probably should've pointed it the other way so the side facing the camera could get some light, but whatever. This was one of the first four I bought on a whim, which got me back into collecting in the first place, and I'm glad I picked it.
>>11799531
I think I remember you saying you were going to make this, that's really sick, nice work anon :)
Maybe I'll try the same if I see an old scuffed-up Hot Wheels at the thrift store sometime.

>>11800193
I think this is the same paint as the 57th anniversary set. I have the Baja Bug and in really good lighting you can see a nice blue shine in the purple.

My lil pocket honda has seen a lot of miles. This casting really needs a new mainline release. I feel like I want a whole fleet of them.

>>11799531
how did you put a keychain to it

File: IMG_20260529_032018.jpg (3.61 MB, 4624x3472)

>>11796536
Ye, like a fantasy take on 71 Mustang Mach 1.

>>11801124
I drilled a tiny hole and then put an eye hook screw in it to attach a chain with a jump ring.

>>11796536
I posted about it in the last thread, but Slide Burn and Custom Toronado both feel like they were designed to fit in with the late 60s/early 70s concept and licensed castings, respectively. I'd really love to see them both get actual redlines and spectraflame paint, even if it means I have to pay a scalper for a STH. Metal bases are probably out of the question, but a man can dream.

File: P1010334.jpg (1.74 MB, 3264x2448)

>>11801671
This may be a hot take, but I actually think metalflake looks better than spectraflame. I understand why people like spectraflame, and it looks good, but I LIKE how metalflake looks. The Aztec widebody has the most intense metalflake I've ever personally seen.
Nice MiniGT btw

Spare tire paintan attempt #1. Spare satin black acrylic paint I had laying around, slightly thinned.
I have a feeling this won't turn out how I want, I was hoping I could avoid buying spray paints and just paint it by hand, but I don't think it went on very smoothly. Not sure if I should add a varnish on top once it cures.
If it doesn't work out I guess I'll drill the rivets, pull the plastic insert, strip the paint, and spray-paint it separately.

Disassembled and paint stripped some cars. Hopefully the reassembling process goes well and then I'll start painting and customizing. Gotta get the right size screws.

>>11802826
>reassembling process
>then I'll start painting and customizing.

Wouldn't it be easier to do the painting before reassembling? Then you don't have to worry about masking off the windows & wheels.

Dodge 330 guy there. Already working on custom.
