Top 10 Cars that Hot Wheels Should Make

  The other day I was thinking about some cars that Hot Wheels really should make. Most of them on this list are TV and Movie cars, while some are not.

1. Batman Forever and Batman and Robin Batmobiles. Well Since Mattel has already made the 1989 Batmobile, the 1966, and the Tumbler, why not make the Joel Schumacher era Batmobiles even though nobody likes the movies the cars deserve a chance.
2. Wagon Queen Family Truckster. Well this car has never been made in diecast form whatsoever. It is a legendary movie car after all. On the downside National Lampoon's Vacation is rated R so seeing a hot wheels version of the wagon is unlikely, but you never know.
3. 1975 Chevrolet K5 Blazer from Jaws. I love the custom Amity Police Department 1975 Chevy K5 Blazer with the top removed and the light bar on it. It is a really cool car from Jaws and it is one of the most memorable police vehicles in movie history. A replica just sold for $22,000 at the Barret Jackson Auction in Palm Beach FL.
4. The General Lee. Why hasn't Mattel made this car yet? They already have a '69 Dodge Charger in the line and all they have to do is modify it a little bit to make this legend.
5. Rolls-Royce Phantom. In the early days of Hot Wheels, there was a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in the line and later came a Phantom II. Since Then a Rolls-Royce hasn't been in the Hot Wheels line since the 1995 FAO Schwarz 24k Gold Classics 3-Pack. So If they still have the Rolls-Royce license they could make one.
6. Ferrari 456 GT Venice Wagon. Yes This is not a Joke a several of these obscure cars were made by Ferrari for the Sultan of Brunei and they would make a perfect addition to the Hot Wheels lineup.
7. Yugo GV. Yes that's right a Yugo GV. Probably the worst car ever made. It would be one of the more obscure hot wheels cars in the line. Everyone Needs a Yugo Sometime... Even a Hot Wheels one.
8. Grumman-Olson P800. You're probably wondering what is that? You've probably seen one of these everyday but you don't know what kind of truck it is. Give up? It's the UPS Package cars with the rounded off front and round headlights. It would be a cool one indeed.
9. Subaru 360. Here is a tip to Mattel, make more Subaru's and older Japanese cars. So far Hot Wheels has made 2 Subaru's and one upcoming. It would be real nice to see them make their first car they sold here back in 1968.
10. GEO Tracker/ Chevrolet Tracker. Why Hasn't anyone made this legendary SUV? It's a classic American car that is really a rebadged Suzuki. They Sold zillions of these things and they never got a toy version. What A Crock. I hope to see one in my lifetime.

What's the Point in Replica TV and Movie Cars?

Re  Today when I was on my lunch break, I went to the mall to look around. I went into Kmart to see if they had any new WWE figures they didn't. So I looked at the Hot Wheels cars and saw the new Back to The Future Time Machine number 18 of 50 New Models. I bought 3 of them. One to open, and one to keep in the box and the other I sold to my friend. This lead me to think of the people in real life who ruin a perfectly good collector car and turn it into a replica. I've seen pictures before of DeLorean time machine replica's and I can tell you one thing. They are nerdy and make you look like a idiot.
  What is the point in owning a replica of a movie car? Is it the fact that the person who makes a replica is an attention seeker? Or is it the fact that they have to compensate for being a nerdy fanboy who still lives with his parents and never had a girlfriend? I tend to think that the both of these factors are to blame. What really annoys me on another mimicked replica is no other than the General Lee. Now here is what really grinds my gears. I love 1969 Dodge Chargers but I would never ruin such a great antique muscle car to make a replica General Lee. There are too many people out there who build replicas of the General Lee and they all ruined the 1969 Charger.
  Why make a replica when it is not going to be the original car that was used in the TV show or movie?

My guess is that you want to make your neighbor who owns a Rolls-Royce have a stroke due to the fact that a General Lee replica is classier than a Rolls-Royce.  Did I just say the General Lee is classier than a Rolls-Royce? That is the opposite from reality. In fact the General Lee is mostly associated with the redneck culture and the Rolls-Royce is associated with the classy wealthy. also nobody in their right mind would make a Rolls-Royce replica because they would get the pants sued off of them for trademark and copyright infringement.

Look 2 replica cars one over replicated and one that's not.

 My point here is that a replica of a TV or movie car is stupid and makes you look like a dork. I don't have that much free time on my hands to make a replica of the Wagon Queen Family Truckster because i have a job and go to college part time. It would be a great side project to build a replica of the Family Truckster but i don't own a Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon because there are not many of these things running around in my area. Now the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation is one of the coolest movie cars that should be replicated because there aren't many replica's around.
   Anyone who has seen National Lampoon's Vacation remembers that the Family Truckster was a lemon. The engine knocked, when the car was turned off the engine was still running, it had a Hefty bag for an airbag, and lets not forget the oddly placed gas cap. In my opinion the car was cool. I love station wagons especially old ones that are like a bus. But that is not the point. Even my idea for making a replica of the Family Truckster is being a hypocrite but i have a soft side for Family Truckster replicas. My Problem is that people over replicate the Delorean Time Machine and the General Lee. If we come to think about it maybe it is time that we think about making replicas of the A-Team van or the Family Truckster. We should try to make something else for a change.
