DC Universe Character Cars

Hi guys, here's the next couple of DC cars rolling out this year, straight off of Amazon.com so hopefully I won't get sued. :D

TOYS: HotWheels production models!

I just got some toys in the mail! These were my babies for 7 months during my time at Mattel last year. 5 more will be rolling out soon.

Superman was a joint design by me and Fraser Campbell,

Joker and Green Lantern were my designs.

Superman is a classic musclecar proportion, with giant cape for good measure.

Green Lantern is a glowing green Construct fighter jet on wheels, based on Hal Jordan's fighter pilot history.

Joker is a wild hotrod with a giant grinning radiator grill and crazy exhaust pipes mimicking his green hair. A diamond motif details the rear of the canopy

Flash is a low slung Bonneville landspeed racer with a lightning motif on the exhausts. (pic from ebay, still havent found one in stores)

These have been spotted at walmart and should be at other stores like target or toysrus soon. I still haven't found any in person, keeping an eye out!

Again, thanks to the Jun, Phil, Paul, Rob, Alec, Sam, Annie, Gina, Roman, Tim, EH, KY, the entire Hotwheels team for the guidance, patience, love and bagels. These buggers took alot of teamwork to produce.

Busy week

Hi blog. I usually don't write, but these past few weeks have been crazy. I wrapped up my 7 months at Mattel on friday. I can't believe how many late nights spread over a whole team of designers, planners, engineers, licensors etc goes into into these little pieces of metal. Here's a pic of the line I worked on at the San Diego Comic Con a few months ago. They should be coming out soon. Can you guess who they are?

My buddy Paul did the two big guys on the bottom left, and the lovely Fraser Campbell did the key sketch for Superman which I took through to production.
