Deadpool Dune Buggy

This is a Deadpool Hot Wheels.
The motif is supposed to be related to that super hero.
I doubt that he ever actually appeared in a dune buggy because Hot Wheels often takes otherwise stock cars and paints them up for a comic book character.
Nearly all of my Super Hero collection stops at about 1980, and few or no new characters after that.
That 50 year history is really enough for me.
But this is a cool car and so I got one.

Deora Surf Car Line Up

I am building cities from all over the world but my largest, is of course the USA.
Growing up in Southern California, surf culture was all around me.
While I did not surf, I did like the movies, the aesthetic, and music, and the beach too.

As part of that I have been buying and painting beach people and beach vehicles. 

Hot Wheels is from California and they make a lot of surf related vehicles.
These are all part of their recent Deora cars.

Surf Deora

The Hot Wheels Deora has been made in many versions.
The Deora was a real custom car and one of the first Hot Wheels cars.
Since the 1960s Hot Wheels has been updating the car and making new ones.
This is the tooned version.  It is a car that has been modified to look like a cartoon caricature of the original.
The drivers compartment is often kept in scale with the original to give the impression that if this were a real car it could be driven.
This is a cute version.
It's part of my surfing project.

More Corsair

The back end of the 1938 Phantom.
It's a pretty cool car.
It almost looks like the rear could be the front!
Bottom has a bit of detail.
Batman approved.
