Hot Wheels Nostalgic & Pop Culture

Mattel and Hot Wheels have their own way on spoiling their adult collectors. In 2011 Hot Wheels decided to give their adult collectors a trip back to memory lane by releasing their signature 6 cars per subject Nostalgic Series, which combine some child hood memoirs (cereals, chocolate snacks, tv series) from the 80s. Started with Hersheys Series to Hanna-Barbera Series (more on HW Nostalgic). In 2013 replacing the previous Nostalgic Series, HW released the Pop Culture Series which more focusing on TV series and comic subject (more on HW Pop Culture).

The card designs on this series were definitely a piece of art of its own. The cars were also marked as Metal/Metal which means metal base and metal upper body and uses Real Riders wheels

Here's some of my collection on HW Nostalgic and a Pop Culture which I manage to collect in recent years

2011 DC Comic
2012 Hanna-Barbera and 2013 Muppets
