• Tooligan - Hot Wheels of the week

  This week comes Tooligan! The name already says a lot about the shape of the vehicle. In fact, it is a cross between the word tool and the word hooligans (English extremist football fans), so much so that practically every part of the car is shaped like a tool in an extreme way.

  

  

  The wings and sides of the body take the shape of spanners; the rear wing is shaped like a 3/8’ spanner. The centre body and windscreen resemble a pliers that engage with the front wing formed by a ruler. Finally, the motors are formed by two giant Phillips screwdrivers. As for the materials composing it, we find a base (lower body) in metal (with the central presence of a 1/4’ hexagonal hole); upper body in gold chrome-plated plastic with a transparent red plastic part inserted, outlining part of the two screwdriver motors.

  

  

  Then the red part also defines the cockpit with a black screen-printing located on the hypothetical roof (pliers grip). On the sides at the hatches the Tooligan (Yearling Bold) lettering screen-printed in white with a slide to the bottom right and the Hot Wheels logo in black. The wheels are OH5 (5-spoke) with red chrome screen printing.

  

  

  Designed in 2009 by Wayne Scott, this version is part of the first edition (2010) featuring a 2-colour (red and black) silkscreen on the front wing representing the ruler scale, which was removed in later editions.
