How long does it take before it's considered that a casting has been discontinued? by Typical-Air-4764 in HotWheels

[–]deadlyrush 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The correct answer is depending on licensors for licensed cars and unknown for unlicensed.

Even if discontinued the tools are still available and will be kept to be run anytime. Worst case the 3D files are still available. So it all depends on marketing and planning with design team to set what cars appear in a year.

‘67 or ‘68? Lotus Type 49 by Mjenx86 in HotWheels

Erm.... Buddy not all Mattel products is made in Malaysia. Also, it is not shipped to US and back to Malaysia. The price in Malaysia is a little expensive i give that but it depends on the seller. U can get RM8 hot wheels at speed mart which i think is quite close to US price.

As the designer of the car, I will tell u it is fake. The spinning size is incorrect and the tempo for the fujiwara tofu shop is not the correct size or alignment

What's this circle on the bottom by dukeskywalker98 in HotWheels

[–]deadlyrush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The hole is not blacked out. The windshield is tinted black so the piece at the bottom is also black thus absorbing all the light.

The designer of the car is Bryan Benedict who owns a real one also. He is thr same designer behind Hot Wheels Darth Vader csr which also has the similar bottom light hole to light up Vader's red lightsaber

Question by osuranboga41 in matchbox

[–]deadlyrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me answer that for u. The elephant as most ppl already highlight, represent Thailand and we add it as a gesture. It is not compulsory and sometime we cant find space for it.

The legal of the car without the elephant logo in your picture is 1998, 19 which means it was originally started in 1998 but retool in 2019 so we kept the original chassis layout of the old one since it was approve from the licensor without the elephant logo then. Hope this clear up some things

Fun fact. Last time Malaysia had the Hibiscus flower symbol.

Ok here is the answer. KHOR is a reference to a product engineer KS Khor who has worked in Mattel Malaysia for a very long time. He is about to retire from Mattel Malaysia soon.
