Captain America Car from Hot Wheels

This past week was SEMA 2015, the Aftermarket and Specialty Parts show was held in Las Vegas this week. It is still going on. I saw a few friends there having a great time checking out all the amazing cars and taking great photos. Well, I wasn’t there. So what is a Toy Blogger to do? And by toys that does mean Big Boy Toys. I thought about the past car shows that I’ve attended. The Back in 2011 I attended the North American International Auto Show and more recently, this past June, an auto show at Bass Pro Shops where Eva and I did a father and daughter photowalk around the place. No shows were happening in my area so I decided to use my photography skills to highlight the autos that I had on hand, or rather, in hand. I decided to post a Toy Car Show spotlighting a bunch of different toy cars I had around the house.

I recently went on a trip to Disney for the IZEAFest 2015 conference. I bought a day ticket to Epcot and while I was there I saw some fun Disney Racers that I knew I had to collect. I picked up Stitch, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and BB-8 from the upcoming Star Wars movie. I liked how Stitch and Buzz photographed. I was using my Samsung NX500 with the 60mm Macro lens, Tripod and natural light outside. I also have a rotating light up display that shows in some images. You can check out all the rest of my Toy Car Show images below. Continue reading Why I Held My Own Toy Car Show

I Found a Star Wars Kylo Ren Hot Wheels Car

Star Wars Kylo Ren Hot Wheels Car

Ever since Force Friday on September 4 I have been looking for the new Star Wars Hot Wheels Cars. They were noticeably missing from any displays that I saw for Star Wars. At Target there was even a spot for them but they were not present. I did find a Kylo Ren car as part of a special 5 pack of cars at Target but not the single car until today.

I like the details of this car. If you look directly on the side of the car there is a red piece that looks like the lightsaber that Kylo Ren has. The lightsaber has a crossguard that is made of small lightsabers as well. There are other details as well like the windshield of the car. It looks like the mask that Kylo Ren has and it also has clear red window and sliver accents. The roof and back of the car have almost a diamond plate design to it. The rear of the car looks like the grip and pommel of the lightsaber. Wheels have shiny red rims to them, too.
