The cars are developed based on the blueprint of the actual cars in question. These toy cars have the realistic outlook and are sturdy enough to last longer. A famous quote in David Hoffman’s book, Kid Stuff, is “Hot Wheels often undergo as much R&D as cars turned out by Detroit”. One important thing about Hot Wheels is that these cars are very fast due to their better axle and wheel design. This factor was important in lowering down the popularity of Matchbox.
Hot Wheels was introduced by an American toy maker, Mattel on September 7, 1968. It was a competitor of other toy makers like Johnny Lightning and Matchbox but in 1996, Mattel acquired rights for Matchbox brand from Tyco. Hot Wheels have a wide range of toy car series to choose from, plus a variety of accessories like tracks, accelerators and enhancements. These are famous not only in children but adults too have a craze to collect different models and throw a competition.
