  • Hotwheels have a very extensive history of over 50 years, and some of them are just straight up really weird. In this video we look at some of the weirdest hotwheels and the history of the brand itself.
    The majority of the information and images in this video were taken from the Hotwheels Fandom Wiki! Check it out here: hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Hot...

      As a Monster Jam fan, Hot Wheels will always have an important legacy in collector's collections, and even when it competed. Sad Spin Master took over for Monster Jam, but at least Mattel has their own brand.

    Fun toy history fact: Mattel was one of the first brands to revolutionize the new era of toys. Most toys before this were more things to fiddle with, like yo-yos and slinkies. Mattel brought in toys that were actually meant for something, like toy cars and the famous Mattel thunder-burp, the first toy gun ever, and the marking of the start of the new era. I actually have one! So yeah there’s a quick history lesson Yall :)

    I like to see the Twin Mill and the Bone Shaker as sort of "friendly rivals". I put those two cars side by side and I just get that friendly rivalry vibe.
    To put it simply, The Bone Shaker is the Ken Masters to The Twin Mill's Ryu.
    Then there's the Rodger Dodger. Definitely in my top 3 Hot Wheels car designs.

    So about the hot wheels eggos,
    They actually existed, I actually ended up having my mom buy them at a walmart sometime when I was really young, like pre-school and kindergarden levels of young when I was obbsessed with hot wheels as a toddler.
    The box was the exact same as in the picture, with the two eggo hot wheels in the picture on every single waffle.
    I legit forgot about this until this video came up too which goes to show how obscure the eggos were.
    They existed at some point 100% sometime in the late 2000's.

    3:32 NASCAR fan here. That is the exact paint scheme used by Ricky Craven driving in the NASCAR Cup Series from 2002 to 2004. He had only two wins and not a lot of good finishes, but had one memorable finish in particular. In the final laps of the 2003 Carolina Dodge Dealers 400, Ricky Craven ran down race leader Kurt Busch getting side by side with him coming out of the last turn. Craven beat Busch to the finish line by only 0.002 seconds. It was the closest finish in NASCAR history at the time and is still tied for that honor.

    The Teku with the sleek technological looking cars.
    The Metal Maniacs with the aggresive designs.
    The Racing Drones with the robotic transformers.
    The Silencerz with the secret agent lab organization vibes.

    The sidekick, introduced in 1972, is my oldest hot wheel, and it's pretty weird. ABOVE the passenger seat there is a massive engine, I wouldn't be surprised if it was supposed to be a V18 or something, and it has a driver's seat on a metal panel that slides outside of the car.

Those final character cars are indeed pretty cursed lol. A weird original design that I always liked but never owned (but I might get one from ebay at some point) is the Zombot. Basically a (non articulated) robot with a gun that also has wheels behind his kneed and shoulders so he can roll like a car (if you did include it in your video I must have missed it).

    I think an underappreciated element of these things are the weird cars they make for the little track toys. You can get them dinosaur themed, there were cars specifically made for shooting at a shark, and I seem to vividly recall a line of more futuristic looking cars that were built to go down this little track thing built like a city with a giant guy that punched down some buildings or something on the track.

    Silly hot wheels are one of the toys that defined my childhood. We got coupons for them all the time so my mom bought me at least one pretty much every week for several years, and I had hundreds at one point. Eventually Lego replaced hot wheels as my favorite toys, but they were still loved for many years. I get nostalgia every time I see kids playing with hot wheels cars now :)

    In the late 90's/ early 2000's Hotwheels was heavily involved in NASCAR merchandise at the time and had a few collabs.

    My favorite Hot Wheels to collect are off road vehicles and big ass trucks. I got a Dodge Macho Power Wagon with Batman on the side and a super cool Dodge Challenger with an American flag paint job and the engine jutting out of the hood. And an all silver Suberu BRAT. Those are some of my faves and I keep them on my dresser.
    Now I’m interested in the Hot Seat with the rat and the Sudster with the crocodile. Thanks for bringing those to my attention!

    I was big into Hotwheels in the early to mid 2000's. I had, like, 10 of those "fatbacks" and other wacky designs like models that looked like they were raindrop versions of older models or bulbous, cartoony versions. I had ones that transformed into skateboarding robots with guns. I had tiny little magnetic ones that had tiny magnetic sets and tracks.
    But my weirdest "normal ones" where a blimp and a helicopter. Yeah... Don't know why I bought those.
    My favorite is, and forever will be, the Maelstrom. With the Vulture as a close second.
    Sadly, I moved when I turned 18 and my (admittedly not very well taken care of) collection was lost in the transfer somehow. The only one I still have is my old, blue Maelstrom that I had kept in my pocket.
    Thanks for reading all that! God bless you!

    Back in the far back year of 2003, hot wheels made possibly the best children's movie ever (despite the ps2 lookin ahh graphics), Hot Wheels Highway 35. I found it on vhs at a thrift store when i was 2 years old, back in 2007, and honestly not only did it get me into hot wheels, but is probably the sole reason i love cars so much. Even if you don't care about hot wheels I'd still recommend you give this movie (and it's sequel series, Acceleracers) a watch.

    Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” is one of the most well-known philosophical concepts in history. As such, it only makes sense that numerous filmmakers would try to incorporate this philosophy into their movies. But what exactly is it? And why does it work so well in the context of filmmaking? We’ll look at this concept as well as several films that have incorporated it excellently. It’s time to find the sun.
    Virtually all philosophy descends from Plato. And this particular piece of philosophy routinely comes up in discussions of how humans perceive reality and whether there is any higher truth to existence.
    This is a concept pondered and considered for thousands of years and we're still nowhere closer to an answer. Naturally, this is great material for literature and film. We'll go through this allegory in detail with examples from movies that were clearly inspired by Plato's cave.
    First things first - what is Plato's "Allegory of the Cave"?
    Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave" is a concept devised by the philosopher to ruminate on the nature of belief versus knowledge. The allegory begins with prisoners who have lived their entire lives chained inside a cave. Behind the prisoners is a fire, and between the fire and the prisoners are people carrying puppets or other objects. These cast shadows on the opposite wall. The prisoners watch these shadows, believing this to be their reality as they've known nothing else.
    Plato posits that one prisoner could become free. He finally sees the fire and realizes the shadows are fake. This prisoner could escape from the cave and discover there is a whole new world outside they were previously unaware of.
    This prisoner would believe the outside world is so much more real than that in the cave. He would try to return to free the other prisoners. Upon his return, he is blinded because his eyes are not accustomed to actual sunlight. The chained prisoners would see this blindness and believe they will be harmed if they try to leave the cave.
    Despite being centuries old, the allegory is appropriate for filmmaking. After all, the audience watches images on a screen. We’re meant to believe it to be real, but we know it’s false. Only when we step out of the theater back into reality can we take what we’ve learned in the cinema and apply it to our lives.
    But don't just take our Allegory of the Cave summary at face value. You would greatly benefit from reading it yourself.
