(More customer reviews)Little Green Speedster is one of 8 Hot Wheels 1/64 sized die-cast vehicles that represent the toy characters from the Toy Story trilogy of movies. This one is supposed to represent the little aliens, I haven't seen the third movie but in the first movie we were introduced to these aliens who lived in a claw game machine in a space themed fastfood takeaway shop. Anyway the thing that lets this vehicle down is that they didn't stick with the green colouring for the paint job which would have made the car look a lot more like the aliens. On the back of the blister card you can see all 8 cars that you can collect. This like all other 8 vehicles in real life don't look like the pictures which were obviously prototypes. The prototype one has a lot more of the same green as the alien whereas this car's wheels are black, the canopy more clear and the car is not the same light blue as the alien uniform. It's not like they didn't have any green paint in the Chinese manufacturing plant as Rex Rider (the one representing dinosaur toy) has a number of different shades of green on its paintjob. That one and Wheelin' Woody (Cowboy toy Tom Hanks character) are the best two of the eight vehicles.
This one does look all right, its headlights do resemble the three eyes of the alien and its curves do remind you of the alien's head but not using green is a big disappointment and when you look at the back of the packaging you're just thinking how much better this car could have been. I bought one of these more to be a cool looking UFO on wheels.
Japanese die-cast car company Tomica has released an idea similar set of cars to Hot Wheels. One of their Toy Story alien cars (they have a few designs) is very similar to this one but they have the colouring a lot better so it looks like the alien in uniform. They also have one that's all green and represents just the alien head which is also very good. If you also buy a Tomica vehicle version of the alien, it displays nicely beside it, making this Hot Wheels one, his spaceship as the Tomica one's are about half the size.
You might want to also note that for some reason this vehicle comes in blister packs where it is either horizontal or sitting at a 45 degree angle. Obviously if you are a keeper in packaging type collector the 45 degree angle one looks more like it is flying or taking off.
