Since Paul Walker (Actor in The Fast & The Furious franchise) has left us 2Fast 2Soon and with the movie Fast and Furious 7 production hanging in the air, luckily Mattel still has the fire burning spirit and has the feature of '2Fast 2Furious' of its own nature which has their own production coming in to us 2fast & 2furiously. Ever since the Paul Walker's incident that cost his life, every cars that he drove in the FF movies, all the toy models especially in Hot Wheels & ERTL brands has been sold with extremely high prices! Hopefully Mattel has the aim for this model which haven't come out yet which Brain O' Connor drove in FF6: 1970 Ford Escort RS1600 (BLUE).
Sometimes, i was wondering what does that tagline used in FF6 means 'All Roads Lead To This'. A bad call or what.
In this upcoming wave, great discovery has been spotted! Not just stunning new models that Mattel has come up with but also some new 'improvement' has been made to some old models as well. We also has seen the new 5TH REGULAR & SUPER TREASURE HUNT in 2014 mainline series. Well, let's check it out.
5TH REGULAR TREASURE HUNT
HOT WHEELS 2014 - HW RACE: sub series TRACK ACES
#168 MAXIMUM LEEWAY (BLACK)
[ NOTE: When i look at the toy number selected by Mattel for this model, even though it is just a regular treasure hunt, there is a hidden meaning behind this number '168'. In Chinese saying, it means '一路發' which means one road to infinite fortune! A great number to start off with in 2014. :D ]
* This is the 2nd time this number used in treasure hunt series. The first one was used in 2008 regular & super treasure hunt$ #168 '06 Dodge Viper. *

If you recall back for the model car called Rodzilla which was first spotted in 2014 mainline Case A, the head of the dragon has been re-position. We will find out soon whether the car itself in the actual carded form will be re-position or not in this coming January 2014. But i say its blister / bubble shape will still maintain the same. Check it out.
In the year of 2014, based on Chinese calendar it is in HORSE year and Mattel did notice and planned for a new starting year for its own products. If you look at any site to check upon whether next year is a good fortune year or not, it all comes to only one answer - A VERY GOOD YEAR INDEED! :) If you look at some of the car's brand, you will definitely noticed that the car's logo has a horse logo for their respective brands. Ferrari & Ford has the top brand of the world and has top list in world's fastest car. Next year, Ford company also celebrate its 50th anniversary in car industry. That is why we see the very first car model based on next year's CHINESE HOROSCOPE HORSE year and the car model's name has its name on it - HORSEPLAY! :D Check out the changes in new casting.
There is no more transparency starting from next year as we hope it will be because there are too many casting of transparent / clear plastic body for this model in the past year HW series. Whether it will be a plastic or metal/diecast body material will remain unknown for this time being.
What so excited about the new casting called MOUNTAIN MAULER, its the incredibly hardcore suspension used. It will definitely be one of the HOT model of 2014!
For those who love bikes, you will not gonna miss out this one, of course. Its a BMW brand and consider to be a muscle bike! Ducati brand will definitely gonna have a tough competitor here. :) Coolest bike so far from 2014 mainline series. Its called BMW K 1300 R and the first color is in black. For more features of this model, you can check it out here. Here are the Hot Wheels 2D image.
Can't wait for the carded form coming soon either on this late December 2013 or early January 2014. Also look out for the new designed card form as i have mentioned it in my blog here.
Well, that's all for now, folks
Thank you for visiting my blog & your time. See you all soon! :D
