Advent Calendar 10: The cars may be fast, but they aren't faster than Family...


 Another World's Smallest It Came from the Toy Chest Has appeared and this time it is swell... it's Mattel! But the funny thing is that these aren't made by Mattel... They're Hot Wheels, but they kinda look like Micro Machines! Speaking of Micro Machines, here's Saved By The Bell's Mr. Testaverde advertising the Galoob cars...
If you listen at .75 speed he sounds normal. At .5 he sounds drunk. At .25 I'm high as a kite. But enough about the Micro Machines. This is about the World's Smallest Hot Wheels. Unlike the World's Smallest MOTU figures, these aren't truly to scale. Their Smallest won't truly fit in action figure scale. At best these look like Model kit cars for action figures or RC cars for them... Actual Micro Machines, with their Super Deformed style look more like RC toys for action figures than these.

As you can see with the Turtles holding the cars in hand,  you can see their size. Wait, I know what you're thinking: I showed 2 cars but thwre are now four.
This is a little bit of track that comes with 2 cars for a race playset. There are other sets with curves and a loop. Theoretically, you could build a really long track with multiple sets.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of this. Because I'm not able to find the other sets to build a full track.

As you can see, even the cars, while in scale, they seem undersized. By being this small, the tracks are far easier to assemble.
You connect the track pieces with the red rectangle connectors and you attach the red clamp to one end. You clamp the track to a higher surface, roughly 10 inches. You set in the checkered flag at the goal. When ready, let the cars go downhill and see who wins. I guess that with more track pieces, this could be more fun. 
Personally, I won't use the tracks with action figures, because they're extremely out of scale.

But for those who don't display these as action figure props, these tracks could be displayed on bookshelves.
