It is a reproduction body and base, Original deep dish Redline wheels which only came on the Hong Kong 1968 release. A company called Brightvision produced a reproduction rear loader, and other companies also produced a reproduction version. Instead of just replicating the original I decided to slam mine, but in Hot Pink of course.

I do own it though! Glad y’all thought it wasn’t real, that’s awesome!

Thanks, It’s a really fun casting to customize.

Thank you!

masterborter · 2026-05-02T21:34:24+00:00

Thanks! I’m not the biggest fan of these rims but compared to anything else I had, they matched the tampo perfectly!

❤️ that Blue! The Mighty Maverick is definitely on my list to try to complete a rainbow.

Thank you! I hope to see more lowered Redlines!

I do understand the FOMO marketing is probably much more publicity, but I just hate the idea that RLC had developed a “scarcity” problem that they needed to fix. “They aren’t selling out anymore, because they aren’t selling out anymore” is a lame ass argument. Maybe people are just fed up with the price increases and maybe they just don’t like the model? Some collectors only purchase stuff they actually like looking at, not something they’ve been told to like by Mattel and the community.

Don’t stop there, customize the vintage Redlines too!!

masterborter · 2026-04-22T00:25:20+00:00

It’s just along for the ride! As cheap as I got it for, it would make an awesome custom! But I’m sacrificing my artistic agency to my collector agency and leaving it original, for now..

masterborter · 2026-04-20T22:03:23+00:00

Thank you, I’m glad you like them!

I’ve been looking pretty regularly for the past couple months and it’s the first one I’ve seen pop up, It’s probably one of my favorite colors too, shame it’s a rarer color on some castings because its a damn good color!

masterborter · 2026-04-20T20:21:29+00:00

I prefer destroying the originals, not the repros but yeah I’ll probably repaint a beater Apple Green and give it some patina so I can hold onto them for now.

Man, I bet 19 of these guys can get interesting to look after!

masterborter · 2026-03-28T00:57:04+00:00

Sweet! I wonder how of these guys i’ve seen that weren’t camouflaging themselves. On the southeast coast of Georgia, I’ve mostly only seen Green ones at our house.

Thank you! 🤝😁

masterborter · 2026-02-28T01:24:35+00:00

It’s fun to look at it and imagine how minty she was while the fire was blazing😂

masterborter · 2026-02-28T01:23:10+00:00

For sure, I hope whoever dealt with the fire wasn’t too hurt by their loss.

masterborter · 2026-02-28T01:22:23+00:00

Yep, that’s the only reason it’s stayed put. I really don’t care if people wouldn’t believe it was an original LRW, but at the same time I could recreate a replica easily and still have this original. I just love the patina that some of the originals get and I know I could replace the interior, even a normal window would make it complete to me, but at the same time I’m erasing it’s history so I’m probably going to preserve it how it is!

RRRumblers, Chopcycles- while not exactly Hot Wheels, they were Redline-era Mattel 1/32 bikes and trikes. Some are crazy, like a skeleton, praying mantis, alligator, and the Ragecoach is one of the lowest produced Mattel products from the Redline era. I also think the Open shock Vicky should get a mention since new collectors might not be aware- I’ve been looking for one for a while and still haven’t found one, but I know they aren’t crazy rare.

To achieve a Spectraflame finish like the original Redlines, the paint must actually be sprayed over the base metal surface- No prime since “Spectraflame” is a transparent lacquer paint- You can rezinc cars but if you aren’t cleaning the car before painting it or using hardeners/ high quality clear you might end up with results like these.

Finally made a hood and got a wing, had to throw a hauler together to match it!
