    Hot Wheels / Matchbox Mazda MX-5 Miata (all the colors & variations) Photo thread

    Hot Wheels / Matchbox Mazda MX-5 Miata (all the colors & variations) Photo thread

    Here is a small part of my Hot Wheels Collection, someone asked what Miata's I had so here are some photos I recently took.

    Now that Hot Wheels appears to have the license again for Mazda since they did that old school RX7 I am hoping we will see some NEW Miatas, more colors, or even a mold for the NB MX5 Mazdaspeed, or NC MX5 Miata? (fingers crossed)

    Anyhow, onto the cars, I started collecting in 1997 or so, and what started with just looking for Miatas turned into a huge collection later on down the road. Here are the Hot Wheels Miatas in production order. FWIW now is a GREAT time for you guys to pick these cars up dirt cheap on ebay, as it took a lot of time and money to get all of mine way back when.

    This might take me a few minutes to get them all listed, so just hang on! And Ill do the Mazda 3rd Gen RX7 in another thread.

    (made in 1996) Hot Wheels Mazda MX-5 Miata Yellow Version 3 (VERY Hard to Find)

    This version has Yellow Paint, Pink Interior, Clear Windshield, and Type-X silver (sp7) wheels, black/blue/pink tampos w/ "Miata Mazda MX-5" on the sides, Blister card #172

    Hot Wheels nerd fact: This was one of the replacement wheels wheels Mattel added to the line in 1995 for more "realism". This was also a very hard to find "wheel variation" for the Miata.

    There is also a Rare UltraHots Wheels variation, I have yet to find one of these. If you have one please contact me!

    No worries, I was hoping folks would post some photos of stuff they have too! And yeah the sp7 wheel variation is not easy to come by FWIW.
