Stockar
Right: X-Raycers 2007, Left: Race World Earth 2010
Manufacturer: Hotwheels

my most favorite Hotwheel’s original concept, the Stockar!!
well, as you may already noticed, I’m crazy bout glow and transparent stuff, combination of them both is surely an EPIC WIN!! yeah!!

I first knew that Hotwheel produce some clear colored vehicle just in 2007 from their X Raycers series,
yeah… I’m totally late!! cause they actually already produced several clear version vehicles years before…
but since then, I simply hooked up on this transparent rides, cause what more a man could ask for..? It got great decals, great metallic colored rims, and a detailed GID plastic for the interior in this so called Xraycer series, wicked!!

that’s when I decided to start collecting any clear colored vehicle they produced, including such car as Vandetta, Phastasm, Scion, Paradigm Shift and others that usually released within the so called transparent series…

too bad as the years coming, the 2007 series seems to be the only time when they produced transparent cars with GID plastic as the body… just look at that 2010 series, I’m not saying those other Stockars in transparent series are loosing their charms, no sir-eee… they still looks wicked awesome, as in this 2010 series…
in their latest series, Stockar came with a total invisibility cloak!! just like miss Invisible from Fantastic Four or that jet rode by wonder Woman X D
transparent body, transparent rims, transparent wheels, transparent interior, transparent window (well duuuh), and a minimalist transparent grey decals, woahohohow… they still got it…

right now I’m on my way hunting for some transparent series of Stockar there is, and already got the yellow (2005) + Track Aces (2007) version, just still looking for the Phantom X Raycers one… never really understand why I just passed that series up back then T_T

I’ll update the family photo of this car later, for the meanwhile, enjoy the glowing Stockar performance from the 2007 X Raycers series

Datsun Bluebird 510

Datsun Bluebird 510 color variants
Manufacturer : Hotwheel

Datsun,the late 60′s legendary car for those who liked Japanese cars
one of the most famous Japanese cars in the US market, this one is surely made it’s own legend

when Hotwheels announced that they are going to produce this baby in the last year (2009), surely I want em!!
but, when they released it in three different color variantios… aaaaaw, c’mon now guys…
it’s feel like another money milking scheme for the collector pockets

but I still wanted all three variants ;p
um, actually the only reasons I bought all three was each of them I found with a standard price on the shelves
ye sirreee sir, I got all of them from the shelves, lucky me, there was a time when these babies were sought by everyone, then the price was kinda skyrocketing

still, the Blue one is the best one IMO

Tomica Mitsuoka


(from left to right)
Mitsuoka ViewT, Mitsuoka Orochi, Mitsuoka Le Seyde
Manufacturer : Tomica

Mitsuoka!! my favourite Japanese cars manufacturer!!
they really got some attitude, just look at those radicals car designs…
and they don’t come cheap either

I am a fan of this company
especially since the first time I laid my eyes on a purple Mitsuoka Orochi displayed in a small park in Kyoto when I was in a high school
planning to get one of my own, but seems that is just a dream for me ^^’
collecting the scale model of these cars already been a pleasure for me…

hope that Tomica would also produce the limited edition of Orochi, which is the Kabuto!! basically, it is an Orochi with a different color scheme, all gold and black, woahohohohow…
