Hot Wheels news 11/22

Mattel seems to be worried about all those "BOMBAS" from T-Hunted, that always shows new cars before they hit the shops. Now they are showing cars from future cases both on official pictures and package drawings on their official sites.

And we continue to show much more news before them!We showed some today already!

Check some of the new cars from mainline case "D" in official pictures:

• Lamborghini Sesto Elemento (New Model), Hiway Hauler 2, Mazda RX-7, '70 Toyota Celica (2014 HW City):

• Sling Shot, '13 Ford Mustang GT (2014 HW Race):

• 2013 SRT Viper (2014 HW Workshop):

• Subaru Impreza WRX (2014 HW Off-Road):

BOMBA!!! Zamac series is back in 2014, and some other news!

T-Hunted made it again, as always: we got some pictures of 2014 cars from Hot Wheels mainline, and the most surprising ones are from the Zamac series, that is back again after a successful appearence in 2013 mainline series. That collection will only be available on WalMart in US.

In the picture below we can see the 3 first cars from Zamac series: Chevrolet SS (brazilian Opala), the '14 COPO Camaro, and the '69 Dodge Charger Daytona. Those cars are made without painting (polished zamac), and with the same tampos as the other regular models.

You can see also in the pictures the come back of the '13 Viper SRT that will be available on cases "D"; the Ferrari F12berlinetta now in silver, the Lamborghini Aventador, a new color for the '09 Corvette ZR1 (probably for 9 and 10 packs), the Scion FR-S from Now and Then subseries (see more of it here on Lamley's blog), and the '69 Camaro in black.
