The stance is killer. Many times I have seen models that miss that mark . This cars stance is part of its trademark look really and they got it right indeed. The whole car looks solid and heavey which to me says quality build. Digging the details on the power plant too. Its plain to see that this is the best version of Doms charger yet. Another great review bud as it once again gives us the up close and detailed look we like. Keep em coming
It's a really cool piece - and they do raise the bar, for sure, on movie models. This one needed a good replica, and boy, does this thing deliver. Thanks for the kind words - and thanks for watching!
Great review Joe. Helped me to decide to buy this. Love the Fast and Furious movies and this will definitely find a place in my collection. Bring on Fast and Furious 7.
Hey, Justin! I was a fan of the films, but hadn't seen them in a while - this is a wicked-looking car. I have to see if I can build a wheelstand perch for it. Thanks for watching!
J.D. Kelly Pretty cool idea! Try it on the Fast and the Furious 1:43 cars by Greenlight and recreate the scene with both the Charger and Supra. ;) Cheers!
@@gambino502 I agree. I haven't seen any HWE that steep. Having said that, if the owner of the model doesn't mind and is happy with the car, Overpaying really doesn't apply. I'm sure I've spent more on a piece than many have, but being pleased that it's in my collection is all that mattered. PEACE from Philadelphia
The best Charger model. Hot Wheels really know how to make things in proportion, all those other 1/18 models of the charger are not in proportion and look absolutely garbage, this however looks amazing.
I really like this model hoping to buy one myself. Do you know who and where I can get the other movie cars to this series would really like the full collection of F&F cars.
Hi J.D. What do you think of the lack of working suspension and real detail of the undercarriage? And do you know how limited it is maybe? I bought mine and got it already! Although the price is steep ( due to F&F license?) I am so glad I picked one up, thanks to your 'opening' the box' video I must say!
Hi, Kiko! I'm not too concerned about a non-working suspension; on a car like this, I really care more about the display, because it's such a famous movie image. I *do* like the fact that HWE built in a lot of extra detail under the car. For a long time, because licenses were so expensive, a lot of details were left off of models so the profit margin could be maintained. Mattel seems to have found the formula (no doubt based on the sheer size and market presence of the company) to allow for models of a higher level of detail and features in the entertainment segment. And yes, that price more than likely has to do with the license fees - they can be monstrous! In addition to the "F&F" money, Mattel still has to pay Chrysler (well, FIAT, LOL) for the use of the Charger image and name. It can get crazy! Thanks for watching! I'm glad you got the car - hope you're enjoying it!
@@Bingle-Bongle101 Greenlight, Johnny Lightning, Auto World and Ertle all share the same absolutely awful 1/18 69 Charger casting, it's way too short, and the wheelbase is way way too short. It's just a terrible model and I hate it.
Hi J.D. Thanks for answering man. It displays perfect.. Man am I enjoying it!? Its my coolest in show imo. Looking foreward seeying more of your reviews. I am all about the American cars, okey and a few Aussie Musclecars too.. Hoping you can do the review of the re-release AA Ford GT LM Spec II Race Car 2005 #4 and the new AA Holden HT GTS350 "Street Machine".. But I will follow all your reviews! Have a good one. P.S. The new GMPs are on my list also of course
Nice videos u got mayne Realy cool stuff.... I would Have to say, ill take the autoArt MadMax Ford Falcon XB Diecast ova Doms Charger Dodge any day.. Thank You for the bud..
I had this in my collection. Everything about the model was really great, except the blower. It's so terribly inaccurate and small that it kept annoying me. I couldn't understand how HW went to all the trouble of executing such a nice cast, only to screw it up in such a crucial area. Compare the size of the blower to the images from the final scenes in the movies. Especially with the full-frontal view. HW, how on earth did you do the measurements? It looks so ridiculously tiny.
Hi Joe. I just recieved my 'Hot Wheels' branded Charger. Thinking it was as detailed as it was in your video im posting to. HOWEVER, it is no where as detailed throughout. The bonnet and bootlid is non openable and the motor is glued to the bonnet. Feel so ripped off.

Don't care about the movie but the car is 100% BAD ASS!!!!! LOL!!! love it!!! 1969 and 1970 Chargers are awesome!!!!
It is a sweet-looking car. Love these old B-body musclecars.. too cool. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Joe!

Awesome piece!! been waiting for this since the unboxing...... wish Hot Wheels Elite does a '69 Dodge R/T.. And great review Joe!!
Hi, Bharath!
Thank you! It was a fun one to do. Very cool model! Thanks a lot for watching!
I really hope Hot wheels makes a General Lee PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make one.
not necessary
Autoworld has already made a accurate 1:18 replica of the General Lee

Hi,
Should I get this model or the original by ertl?
get the hot wheels elite model, the ertl model is less accurate to the charger from the first film
Is this still available to buy new? And if yes than how much is it?
I think the guy died or something, he hasn’t made any vids for the past two years :/
were u got it
The 1970 doge charger is good in drag racing
Hi Joe. I just recieved my 'Hot Wheels' branded Charger. Thinking it was as detailed as it was in your video im posting to. HOWEVER, it is no where as detailed throughout. The bonnet and bootlid is non openable and the motor is glued to the bonnet. Feel so ripped off.
Probably was the ertl car not the Hotwheels elite car
I was wondering, if you would do a show on the Green Hornets car???
how dobyou get it
nice :) , next model 1:18 Elite Knight Rider ? :)
Hi, David!
We covered that one a while back - check the archives. Thanks for watching!
how do you get it
You can buy it off of Amazon for 50 something dollars I just bought me one to
Hotwheels should make the Eleanor GT-500 Mustang
Yeah but that price is not easy on my wallet lol
är det inte fjädring på hjulen?
