First Look: Hot Wheels World Race 5-pack...


It might be only a few times a year, and one is already reserved for Ferraris, but it is nice when Hot Wheels releases a 5-pack full of licensed cars.  This year, there have been a smattering of licensed models in some of the 5-packs, but with these packed squarely aimed at the kids passing by in their parents' shopping cart, crazy models and colors prevail.  Occasionally we collectors are thrown a little shout-out, with the yearly Ferrari pack, one pack usually reserved for a particular automaker (Corvette & Shelby most recently), and maybe one more.

The World Race 5-pack is that "one more" this year.  The pack is a decent representation of a world race, with two of the Queen's cars, two Italian Stallions, and one from the Land of the Rising Sun.  Of course a Ford Falcon and...say...an SP2 might make it more of a world race, but supercars seem to be the name of the game in this pack.

So here is our look at all 5 models.  The highlight for me?  The Aston, looking nice in 10-spokes.  Your favorite?
