Welcome to another installment of Let's Talk. Today's topic is the first time a new casting is discussed here.
With the L Case Hot Wheels cars being shipped out to stores, and some people already having got their hands on a case, I thought it would be interesting to discuss one of the cars that's being introduced in said batch, Poppa Wheelie.
It's a very fascinating casting. If you look close, you'll see that the car body on this casting is clearly a Reliant Regal Supervan, which to some people, should be quite familiar.
The body is attached backwards, and up in the air. Imagine how one would drive something like this.
So, that's Poppa Wheelie. Probably one of the coolest HW castings in a long time, although, like most HW cars, it's not gonna be a car that every HW collector will be going after.
Stay tuned tomorrow, where the topic will be the Dodge Neon.
