#856 Hot Wheels - Planet Micro - Sports Cars Serial #1 (1997)

Another large build that tried to follow the Micro-trend started past times Galoob inwards 1987 was Mattel´s Hot Wheels!. I would tell this Planet Micro serial came also late, as well as would accept done much improve inwards price of sales as well as popularity if it had been released before, inwards the belatedly 80s.

HotWheels likely idea they could laid about their ain business of micro cars, inwards a larger scale than Micro Machines (see Mini AutoMagic / Micro Color Racers, #), but unfortunately, it didn´t worked, as well as at that spot were exclusively a few dozens of models made. Years later, Hot Wheels decided non to nowadays as well as unloosen cars inwards a compatible scale/size, inwards similar packaging, similar toll category, as well as grouping cars past times about mutual characteristica.

The effect are real overnice models amongst metallic base of operations as well as plastic bodies looking absolutely great. One divergence is that Mattel decided to nowadays the models inwards about sort of customized plastic base of operations (or "Micro Scape") related to the subject of the automobile series. In this case, all cars are attached to stands, similar it was a automobile fair or something similar that. This "feature" was exclusively available for the outset sets, later, the model were merely attached to the cardboard interior, precisely similar Micro Machines.
