My look at Hot Wheels HIN/D Force cars

Hi all,
These just showed up in town, and although not my style of car, I thought I'd grab a couple to give you guys a little look at them. There were a few of these in the store, and I chose a Hot Import Nights Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII and a HIN D Force Nissan Silvia S15.

The cars have nice graphics and are quite large. Mid Scale as Mattel calls them. Quite a bit larger than a normal 1:64th. Although no real scale size is listed on the packaging, these are about 1:50th. The 57 Chevy in the center is a Hot Wheels 1:64th.

As is the tuner/drift car style, graphics are bold and bright, and the little extra painted details are a nice addition. The cars were 3.66 each.

One feature I expected was an opening hood or door or even both. I was a little disappointed at the lack of these features.

All in all, great little cars with lots of color and graphics, nice rims (a couple I saw had nice chrome wheels) and a slightly larger-than-normal size makes these a good collectible for the the Tuner car fans. One last note to Mattel, about the rear wings. They kept falling off!! I understand they are added parts, but perhaps small nibs to hold them a little tighter in the rear deck slots would work to help keep them in place.
