Musings By Joschik Christian obsesses over collectibles, antiques and toys more than the average person, but (he believes) in a productive way. Documenting collectibles has been a passion since working on a book about his favorite childhood toys from Timpo 41 years ago. He is a co-founder of hobbyDB, industry partner at Global Toy Expert and the Chair of the Pop Culture Hall of Fame and the Model Car Hall of Fame.
We are working on what AI features to add to improve our member’s experience or make the work of our Squad easier and more fun. So I have spend some time with various tools. Here are for example the models I came up with for the Hot Wheels 2026 line…
I started with the Lamborghini Espada (Siku had one and it one of my favorites) –
Then I wanted to see a new version of the Matchbox Unimog –
Then I thought what about the early Hot Wheels Classics so wanted to add to those, here the Mercedes 540K Sedan (probably my favorite of these) –
And here a pink Cybertruck –
So now it was time to go more exotic, here a 500SL Pace Car –
The London answer to the VW Dragbus –
A Cadillac with a Mad Max flavor –
And here another British Classic, the Mark I tank –
Wilma Flintstone’s Car –
And lastly a faster way to get around on the moon –
Which one do you like most? Got some you came up with to share? Please do so in the comments!
Wow, I love all of these !
All those models look great but my favorite is the Mercedes 540K!
Love that Tank and also the pace car
Nice! I love the Espada!
That Unimog dirt racer is great! I went in a different direction with a 1970s era Tekno from Denmark. Mint boxed of course!
Nice one, you should try some unusual trucks as well.
the moon rover excellent idea
