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.
I’ve been eyeing this Avengers 5-Pack of cars at Target for months. The set was $18 for the longest time and I just couldn’t bring myself to get 5 cars for that much. I was in the store last night looking for a birthday gift for a family friend and saw that the set and a bunch of Marvel themed track sets were on clearance for more than 1/2 off so I jumped at the purchase. I have some other Marvel themed Hot Wheels cars that are also based on the Avengers but not ones that incorporate their costumes. I know of several others and I’m looking for those to close out my collection.
I’ve been reading tons of Avengers comics through my Marvel Unlimited subscription. This has been a great purchase because I’m catching up on so many cool storylines. Right now I’m reading the New Avengers storyline from 2004 (I think) and it is right after the whole Civil War and now there is a Skrull infiltration. I wonder if Skrulls will be part of the Marvel cinematic universe.
