At the very least we’re about one year away from seeing the production version of the Dodge Challenger, probably longer for the Chevy Camaro. We can’t wait that long, and we’re guessing neither can you. Hot Wheels has come to the rescue with two pairs of limited edition miniature motors.
Beginning Tuesday morning at 9 AM PST, Hot Wheel Collector’s Club members (membership is free) can buy the Real Riders Chevy Camaro and the Real Riders Dodge Challenger sets. The Camaro set has the iconic 1967 and 2006 concept versions of Chevy’s pony car, and for the MOPAR fans, the Challenger set comes with a 1970 and 2006 concept versions. All four cars are much more detailed than any Hot Wheel car you’ll find in stores, and feature rubber tires on special chrome wheels and a metal base. Each pack is limited to only 12,000 copies and at $9.99 each, are likely to sell out very quickly.
Check the jump for photos of the Challenger cars then go to the HWC website for even more photos of both.

Most of the Autoblog readers have been fostering a love for the automobile since a very early stage in life. We collected Hot Wheels and Matchboxes, and we had model cars and remote-controlled hot rods. The one thing those toys have in common is that they’re marketed almost exclusively to boys.
Mattel has decided to give the girls what they’ve wanted all along: race tracks, pink cars that go shopping, and a great way to compete. Earlier we gave you an extensive debriefing on Polly Wheels, complete with an Autoblog Gallery, and now we’re adding video, too. Check out the Autoblog interview with Stephanie Cota, Vice President of girls marketing at Mattel. There is also some exclusive footage of a prototype Polly Wheels Race Track in action. Check it out!
