Fast Cash

The roof functions as a clip to hold your cash as a Hot Wheel wallet.









Fast Cash

Name: Fast Cash
Debut series: 2007 New Models
Produced year: 2007
Designed: -









The story behind: Fast Cash is an armored car. It has doors in the style of vault doors. It has a large engine with a dollar sign on the front. The roof/spoiler of Fast Cash is made as a clip, to hold paper. It has a combination lock on the back of the car.

Look at that motor
The looks: Fast Cash is a very cool armored hot rod, the whole concept is made as it is a huge vault sitting on wheels. Have to admit this is a very original model, the body is made of metal with a lot of details in the doors and in the back simulating locks and hand lings . The chassis and the roof are made of plastic, which brings me to the next topic, the roof, O my, what an original way of making this car beyond functional. The roof functions as a clip to hold your cash as a Hot Wheel wallet.

Every time I go to the store I definitively take my Fast Cash with loads of speed and money! A fun addition to everybody's collection.

Drift King

 While it doesn't add anything new , appearing in special hot wheels toy lines might help pick up some popularity.


Drift King

Name: Drift King
Debut Series: 2007 New Models
Produced Year: 2007
Designed: Mark Jones







Looks plain and fast
The story behind: The Drift King is an original model created by Hot Wheels. Last time I saw this one was in the special 20th Anniversary of the Power Rangers. For one reason or another I never bought it, lastly this year I got the chance to buy it from the Team Hot Wheels line. The main reason for me hesitating was it actually looks like a futuristic racing car (and like that, in Hot Wheels line there are quite a few) but, would its name live to the expectations? 

The looks: As I said before, it looks like a racing car featuring a low height with a solid metal die cast body. The windshield is huge in comparison with other hot wheels finalizing the car with a huge spoiler which might be good for sorting out huge wind drafts when racing at full throttle. The motor seems to be a V12 and its out in the open with no hood. While it doesn't add anything new , appearing in special hot wheels toy lines might help pick up some popularity.

Can it really live up to its name? 


SkyKnife

A fan favorite, mostly because the edgy and potent look.

SkyKnife (2014 Edition)

Name: SkyKnife
Debut Series: 2007 New Models
Produced Year: 2007
Designed: Steve Moran








The Edge like a Knife
The story behind: SkyKnife is an original hot wheels helicopter design. The name is implied by the radical edgy look of the model. With 2 power busters on top of the copter below the rotor it cruises the sky at a tremendous speed. Also the name might make reference to you to the Battleforce5 Fusion between the Saber and the Chopper (which this one doesn't have to do anything with it.)

The looks: Going to the looks, this model have been around for a couple of years now and its become a fan favorite, mostly because the edgy and potent look. Sadly the new release featured this year and the year before its done in a cheap way. The power busters have been modeled in the same metal body (not like before that they were apart in  plastic and chrome materials), this makes this model kind of cheap looking especially if you have the SkyKnife from previous releases. Aside from this production complain the model is solid enough to guarantee a 4 star rating.
