Over the years there's been many Hot Wheels with really weird gimmicks, so in this video I wanted to go over all the most interesting ones I could possibly find! The fact that a simple hotwheel can be a fidget toy, a dice, a camera, or even a musical instrument is truly fascinating!
I've already made a hotwheel video a while ago, and now that my content style has gotten a lot better I decided to give it a re-do. This time we are focusing specifically on the silly gimmicks, so there might be some repeats from my previous hotwheel video. Hope you enjoy 😁 Also I moved into a new house before recording the on-camera sections, so there's echoey audio and not the best lighting. I have big plans for awesome background sets in my new office, so stay tuned for that!

They should make a gimmick where they make a series of hotwheels called cold wheels
then every car that is a part of the "coldwheels" series is just a normal boring car with absolutely nothing added to make it interesting

Honestly, as someone who grew up with a Hot Wheels obsession in the 2000's, these videos have been a nice trip down memory lane, pun fully intended. I think you do a good job explaining why Hot Wheels are so fascinating both as Toys and as a brand. I remembered some of the gimmicks you talked about like the Lightracers, but stuff like the Split Racers I never heard about! So thanks for the video! 😃
Hot wheels is the definition of:
“Lets just slap a… thing on wheels. I don’t care if it defies the omniverse, put it on the shelves!”
And then they be like "alright now uh.. add 'inator' at the end."

HotWheels now is more of "yeah those gimmicks don't really work... But damn, everyone wants these Civics and Land Cruisers, let's cater to the collectors instead for dough" even though that should've been Matchbox's job
Getting paid to play with hot wheels, pollygon is living the life

@@dancelikean1diot I'm talking about finding all the cars at junkyards and restoring them. The beatnik bandit is kind of a special case because the real one is actually at the National automotive museum in Reno, Nevada.
So I might just have to replicate it instead.

@@SRGIProductions OHH sorry i understand now
WOAH! I LOVE Doohickeys, gimmicks, doodads AND Gizmos!
Not geegaws though? Those a bridge to far for you? I also find your apparent lack of appreciation for tchotchkes and whatsits disheartening. And don't even get me started on thingamajiggers...
Honestly, the Attack Pack stuff deserves a video unto itself, they're pretty insane.
Why does the Attack Pack stuff have mouths?
As a hot wheels, i can confirm that these are the hot wheel car gimmicks that have ever been released of all time
how is life as a hot wheels

I actually used the wrench gimmick when I was working on a project and just happened to find this old hotwheel, and it works fairly well.

PONGON! if you want to get rid of the drawing on the car at 7:13, then use hand sanitizer, it works, i've fixed stuff with dat before.
Or something that contains alcohol, just don't try beer, it's a bad idea
@@seiu1990 i could use vodka >:) (i don't own any vodka)
YOU SMART IMA TRY THAT ON PAPER (joke)
Does anybody notice that his voice sounds like a command but he has long hair and painted nails
fun fact the wrench on the tooligan is 13 mm which is one of the most used wrench sizes as 13 mm almost exactly equals 1/2 inch. The socket on the bottom is 10 mm which is popular enough that there is a meme in the mechanic community about 10 mm sockets constantly getting lost.

@@_Ayad_what a nice person
As a kid on a family trip to New York we went to the big Toys R Us with the ferris wheel in the middle (it shut down 😭)
My mom gave me a whole 100 dollars to spend for the day thinking i would spend it all on different things. I went STRAIGHT to the hotwheel section and blew it all on the sickest most awesome cars.
Was at least ONE of them a Treasure Hunt or Super Treasure Hunt?

The Embosser can have a car on the top of it and I didn’t know the embosser actually had a stamp in it
2:42 “I want the toaster car I want the toaster car!” *Y I P P E E*
I was surprised you never mentioned the Bakugan Hotwheels, I always thought they were one of the more unique gimmicks in the series
Ballistics, I think they were called.
Oh my god these sound sick, I'll probably mention it in a part 2 if I make one
The WHAT?
@@PolygonDonut hello :D
@@Percival917Don't worry, those set of vehicles weren't associated with Bakugan in any way at all besides the folding into a ball feature because other than they they aren't connected at all.
They did have playsets for them to where you can shoot them out of a minigun type launcher thing which was cool as hell
Pongon is like that one neighbor that is too energetic and childish, but is a cool guy once calm.
Pongon funni !!!!!!!!
16:52 Hotwheels Centipede
God these videos are just 20 minutes of straight stimming for my brain, thank you
I remember some of my childhood Hot Wheels collection having openable hoods to admire the engine. This was a feature that dates all the way back to 1968, when Hot Wheels first started. The chrome engines were either exposed or had a hood that you could open to admire it, just like a real car. Only problem is that the metal pegs holding the hood to the rest of the body were rather brittle and could easily break off, eventually losing the hood entirely. Nevertheless, this feature persisted in late '90s-early 2000s Hot Wheels castings before being discontinued all together in I believe 2006-2007.
I must've had one of the last of them it was a 69 Dodge Charger brown with some pretty good looking stripes on it, anyways like almost all of my Hot Wheels they got rusted
Opening goods were cut out for cost cutting. The extra part required extra tooling and metal, which cost extra money. A few cars still retain their pre-cost-cutting interiors, so when drilled apart they still have engines even if you cannot access them normally.
Yeah there are MANY cars that have openable engines, even I have those. I probably should've mentioned them
@@Zed32_Customs Now, that is fascinating. It makes sense for the feature to be removed in cast revisions. I still somewhat miss it, though.
@@nickrustyson8124 Rusted and oxidized. The signs of age and much love. If you have the expertise, it's easy to restore.
the embosser can actually get used to carry other hotwheel cars.

Our very first UA-cam videos were filled with a Hotwheels video racer. The part about it that frustrated me the most as a kid was the lack of storage, It could only record for a couple minutes. Everything else about it was awesome, even though the video quality wasn't that good it still provided a very unique perspective. It was like my childhood dream came to life and appeared in my local Target!
How to fix the half number. Stick your finger in and see which side faces up after
this is exactly what i needed in my life!!!!
thanks polygon for this!!
this has opened my eyes!!!
15:21 dude those cars are actually sick! They can even deform on slides and you can wobble them in every possible way
THE CUTE NOISES I CANT!! 😭😭😭
The bendy hot weels bracelet and necklace drip goes HARD as hell ngl
More Hot Wheels videos yay! Unironically, HW Fantasy/Originals need more fans because HW of late has been influenced by people obsessed with boring real life stuff

@@G.M.C2005 Licensed cars are boring for Hot Wheels.
@@RaiuAdami eh to each their own. i personally just collect irl cars except in certain situations where the fantasy is rly cool like the mad manga
@@RaiuAdami It's understandable. However, I was different. The thing that drew me into Hot Wheels was the licensed cars, especially classic cars. I guess classic car culture is an acquired taste.
Oh, and NO ONE can get me to hate classic Mustangs.
@@DxrkOner I gravitate towards classic cars. Your Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, Chargers and Challengers, etc.
I still have yet to find a '68 Mercury Cougar.
hot wheels when cold wheels walks in:🙀😯😧🙀😲
😮
Hot Wheels fans when Cold Tracks fans walk in: 😨
every single detail about this channel feels like pure unadulterated insanity i love it 10/10
The jet threat has gotta be one of my favorite hotwheels cars.
Now I want a video about non-car Hot Wheels.
I have one of those “train cars” and their pretty amazing sense I like trains, and the little car you can shove inside that comes with it.
This is a certified skrombly video
I wonder what polygon was like before the lobotomy
The flying toaster would make good friends with the car toaster
I love your hot wheels videos. Such a breath of fresh air in a niche dominated by hard-core collectors (yes, me included).
1:17 I have a Jet Threat 1.0 from 1970. It has a little hatch that can be opened to expose an orange turbine thingy! Its also all metal, so its ridiculously heavy.
5:00 im sure you noticed, but the Whip Creamer 2 can also be used as a makeshift kazoo/whistle. It also has a predecessor called Whip Creamer which was released in the early 70s.
6:55 yeah, the emoticar sucks. Generally just not the best design imo.
7:30 The head that sticks out the top of Skull Shaker is actually a depiction of Larry Wood, the designer of the original Bone Shaker.
10:30 carbonator is the goat of hot wheels gimmicks. They release a special one every new years so that you open definitely-not-beer with it.
20:20 in all my years of collecting, i have literally never heard of the Speed Readerz. Props for digging up this relic of hot wheels history.
20:45 i have found way to many of these at thrift stores. Not one had functioning lights.
There are a few other castings with fun gimmicks that i can think of:
Side Kick: weird sliding cockpit thing that is activated by pulling on the exhaust.
The Heavyweights Series: a bunch of work trucks that were released in the early 70s, each with a unique moving feature. There is a commercial for them somewhere on youtube that emits dangerous levels of charm.
ConVertAbles: odd series of cars that do weird things when put in hot water i guess. Idk, all of mine are broken.
Ford Taurus Stocker: A red Nascar that was exclusive to the Ford Auto Assembly playset. It can be taken apart into 3 pieces, the base, body, and engine. Its extremely rare and obscure.
Sizzlers: Motorized hot wheels! Some came with a huge bumper that is hilariously called the "Mouse Mustache".
Circuit Crashers: Monster Trucks that explode when crashed!
Crack-Ups: cars from the early 80s that have flipable panels that show damage when you crash into them.
Tech Trax: very short lived series of cars that could bend in the middle and gave them a sort of suspension, or that was the idea anyways. They never really worked.
Hot Wheels ID: Cars with micro chips in them so that you can download them into a racing game. Pretty short lived series as nobody cared about the game.
Steering Rigs: Semi trucks that would turn the cab from a steering wheel mounted in the trailer. They're tricky to get the hang of, but satisfying when you do.
Revealers: The cars themselves are dayglow and reek of the 80s, but they came wrapped in a paper that would supposedly dissolve when dipped in water. Also, the packaging would give you a Dairy Queen coupon for a free ice cream(expired in 1984). Get one and see if a DQ will let you redeem it.
I cannot wait for the Color Shifters video!
Omggg thank you for all the suggestions, these will definetly go in a part 2
Oh no! There were even more examples that I had listed but it looks like youtube never posted the edit! I'll see if I can remember most of them.
Top Speed / Solar Flares: Translucent plastic cars that can twist in the middle. Hot wheels said it made them better on the track, but they are actually way too lightweight, causing them to crash too easily.
X-V Racers (1980s): Gyro powered stunt cars. Not much is really known about the operation of these cars even though they are fairly common.
Motorized XV Racers (1990s): same concept as the Sizzlers cars, but lighter and faster.
Scorchers: spring powered cars? Not exactly sure how these work, all of mine are broken.
Power Command: Pull-back-n-go cars that can be locked in place, then launched by tapping on their rear spoiler.
Shift Kickers: same concept as Power Command, but they are launched by "shifting" a lever on the top of the car.
Mini Race Timers: micro-scale hot wheels that could be worn as a watch and displayed the time in their windshield.
Flip-Outs: Cars with spring-loaded flippers on the bottom. When crashed they'll flip violently into the air.
polygon donut’s evil twin, pylon pastry, will not let me in his basement
update: he now will not let me out of the attic. send help.
XD?
4:33 And they fixed the mechanism so it doesn’t put stress on the plastic, neat.
I just love how the comping cars in the game are just chomping at the speed of light
13:48 *nightcall starts playing*
The only thing stopping this beast of a goober is the time it takes to ship things 😔😔
I would believe it to be his painted nails
@@arfdoge9735YOURE WRONG!! SULPHURIC ACID
I didn't grow up playing with hot wheels and frankly ive never been interested in them that much. But i really love all of your videos that review weird gimmicky products so i watched this one anyway! I absolutely love the sheer creativity and fun that hotwheels embodied in these cool cars! Its such a shame so many of these neat gimmicks didnt take off. Id love to see more of these funky cars if you make a part 2 in the future! The wiggly snake cars are so underrated why did nobody like them!!
The nostalgia trip is really great but trying hard to be very funny just kills it.
YOU KNOW IT'S A GOOD DAY WHEN POLYGON DONUT POSTS⁉️🔥🔥🔥🗣️‼️‼️‼️
YES
8:28 Okay this one got me
0:32 AYO I HAVE DAT ONE BUT IN GREEN!!

we love hotwheels with silly thingmabobs and doohickeys ❤
You know it’s gonna be a good day when polygon donut posts
My favorite car was the Hotdog hot wheel 4:07
You forgot about the type of hotwheels that have big wheels on the back. they were made in 2000's but discontinued in like 2002.
Polygon doughnuts, videos of kinder like Christmas. It doesn’t come often, but when it does it’s truly special
14:07 TADC ACKNOWLEDGED!! YIPPEE
WEEE
I had a red roller toaster myself, i happy to saw it here :D
So many weird sound effects built in to this dude
Sooo annoying
2:23 The absolute chaos behind those eyes
22:20 "in the future, everything is chrome."
i love this content. it's so wholesome!!! it's so refreshing to watch a video that just someone pouring out all their love for a thingy for half and hour. keep it up!
Generally, you can remove sharpie from smooth surfaces using hand sanitizer
23 minutes of silly goober??? Splendid, gnyarp gnyarp certified 🔥🔥🔥🔥
18:53 I need the Hot Dogger AAAAAAAAAAAAA where buy
HELL YEAH, I always wanted to see you make a video about hot wheel stuff, hot wheels was in my childhood, I absolutely loved getting to play with them when I was a kid 😊
Keep up the amazing work btw 💜
There were also speed winders (which were produced in 2017 and closed in 2018😶). They had a built-in small rotating mechanism with a rubber band, thanks to which the car could go very fast, depending on how many revolutions were made in the mechanism.
16:04 OH MY GA-
20 minutes of silly??? splendid
One cool thing about the split speeders is that at least on the tank and blue shark ones, the inside has a neat little design you can see when it splits.
The embosser looks like a freaking tow truck 💀
Id love to see a video on the non car hot wheels vehicles you mentioned tbh

There's an openable body gimmick hot wheels which I've owned back in the day, it's called Ground FX.
Yeah, there is another kinda recent one called Cloak and Dagger. There are other older ones like the Hyperliner, Volkswagen New Beetle Cup and Morris Mini.
i have a hotwheels that splits in two and its insanely cool
I think the humans wear helmets so the human faces do not look uncanny
Translated for gnarp gnarp: I think the zumans wear zelmets so tze zuman faces do not look uncanny
12:09 I USED DIDNT KNOW THAT PUT THE LOGO ON THERE 💀 I used it to put other cars on top of it
LETS GOO POGO DONO IS BACK
Your enthusiasm in this video makes me really happy
I have used the "See Me Rollin'" in DnD before lol. Nothing like letting a toy car determine how much damage Magic Missile does.

thank you so much for posting. i just moved and my cats are sad and confused. and theres so much that happened in this week for me. so much that i havent gotten a good rest for 2 days now. nearly had a panic attack this morning. thank you so much polygon. i needed this
I literally just moved in the middle of making this video too!!! And my cat was also very confused. He is used to the new house already though 😁
Those hotwheels light cars are something I haven’t seen in a long, long time. Thanks for the nostalgia 🥲
