HW Metro | Propper Chopper

Hot Wheels is not just about cars, but also produces otherworldly and weird vehicles that some might not comprehend the concept that only kids would understand. In those early days of the brand’s life, they were popular with bright colours that broke the traditional way diecast cars were made similar to their real-life counterparts. To expand and continue to be on top in keeping their relevance in the toy aisle they also have to make other types of vehicles, and in the early days, one of them was not even in four wheels, but has given kids the imagination to fly. In 1990 Hot Wheels introduced the Propper Chopper, a play on words designed by the great Larry Wood. It might not have the same popularity as a Corvette or a Mustang but it took flight and had a follwoing for longtime collectors.

05.14.2018 – Hot Wheels brand has been around for sixty-five years and is still going strong for Mattel. It's one of the two iconic brands from which they’ve built their name as a diecast brand. The other, of course, was Barbie, which continues to evolve through modern times. With Hot Wheels, it's all about die-cast cars, but over the years, we've seen aircraft vehicles incorporated into their mainline to expand the variety for collectors to choose from. So far, there are selected fictionalized aircraft to make it to the mainline that have been around for decades, and one of them is the Propper Chopper.
