Hot Wheels is a brand of toy automobile, introduced by U.S. toymaker Mattel in 1968. It was the primary competitor of Johnny Lightning and Matchbox until 1996, when Mattel acquired rights to the Matchbox brand.
General description
Most Hot Wheels cars measure about 6 cm in length, and are approximately 1:64 scale. A majority of castings are die cast metal; however, some are cast in plastic. Hot Wheels also makes cars in different scales such as 1:52 and 1:18 including replicas of Formula One cars.
Hot Wheels as a collectible
Aside from their popularity as toys, Hot Wheels cars are also popular collectibles. Mattel estimates that 41 million children grew up playing with the toys, the average collector has over 1,550 cars, and children between the ages of 5 and 15 have an average of 41 cars. A 2004 episode of the American version of Antiques Roadshow valued a late 1960s collection of Hot Wheels cars in their original packaging at roughly $100 each, with some of the more rare models worth $200–$900 each.
