Hot Wheels 1/50 Film and TV models
« on: May 25, 2014, 11:47:42 PM »
New to me, at least: the Hot Wheels "Elite One" range of diecasts, which are claimed to be at 1/50 scale.
http://www.hotwheels-elite.com/model-cars-miniature/979/hot-wheels-elite-one.php

Releases so far:

Scooby Doo Mystery Machine (looks too angular overall; also the spare wheel joins the front of the van like something from a jelly mould and the luggage rails have been rendered as solid blocks; but you do get Shaggy and Scooby behind the wheel and a ready-done paint job);
The Bat from The Dark Knight Rises (looks impressive from the photos);
Fred's car from The Flintstones.

Next releases:
DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future;
A-Team van;
Batmobile from The Dark Knight.
Back from the dead, almost.

The Delorian would be nice. Be good to see an Ecto-1 as well.
