HW Hot Trucks | Dodge Li'l Red Express Truck

There have been some interesting licensed pick-up trucks from Hot Wheels, but none of them had a unique look like the 1978 Dodge Li’l Red Express Truck. It is still being produced with a brand new deco/livery since its retool in 2019. The new look may not be noticeable, but the changes are there if you are into intricate details and do not leave the toy in its blister carded packaging. The most recent release in 2024 was part of the HW Celebration Racers, representing Valentine’s Day as that year’s vehicle, and as part of the MOPAR 5-pack in yellow with stripes. It’s probably the most decent colour to be released in the last 2-3 years, but in a multipack. For the 2025, the latest one this not disappoint either.

HW Screen Time | Snoopy

Snoopy is an iconic character that appeared in comics strips, which was created by Charles M. Schulz. His appearance was the main focus of the story for the Peanuts gang, they are consists of kids that populate their individual stories, adventures, and everyday life that relate to people. For 75 years, the Peanuts have continued to be relevant to this day, and they are being celebrated all year round in 2025. But at the heart of the comics strip is Charlie Brown, the ol’ blockhead, and his pet beagle, Snoopy, and sidekick Woodstock. There have been many merchandise produced in their image over the course of the comic strip’s existence, appearing also in various media that include animation and video games.

HW Celebration Racers | Twin Mill Gen-E

There are seasonal things that don’t appear every single day, it might be Christmas, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, or even to celebrate a Birthday. But Hot Wheels, a die-cast toy brand, has discovered to celebrate these seasons through their mini collections that are part of their yearly mainline releases. It’s a fun way to get them if you are not narrowly collecting only licensed car brands. With the Chinese New Year, it has been a tradition with Hot Wheels to present this year’s car that would represent the animal sign. For 2025, it is the Year of the Snake, and what more appropriate car to represent that than the Twin Mill Gen-E! An electrified version of the Hot Wheels Original, the Twin Mill!
