This $1000 Hot Wheels car failed the Acceleracers Community

[@JayCeeSquared]

Comment, would you buy a $1000 Hot Wheels Car? Real Life Teku Deora 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYeWpo2JopJ-jMk

[@SpeedAcceleracer]

@JayCeeSquared not for that much, but if the Acceleracers cars were cheaper that $1,000, I would then and ever thought about collecting the ninjas from Ninjago?

[@oriongear2499]

I'd rather just make a custom HWAR Deora 2.

[@AcceleReece]

Massive hard agree on the new semi-premium line being the perfect outlet for an AcceleRacers set. Although, I'd choose Chicane over Synkro for obvious reasons. 2025 is really gonna be the endgame in my opinion.

[@JayCeeSquared]

A full re release of just the super rare Teku cars would be divine.

[@smashkiller64]

@@JayCeeSquared Truthfully they should have a cars on-demand program like book companies. You order the car you want, and either after enough people order the same car, or after enough time has passed, they make the car and send it directly to you. Obviously it would be more expensive but the fans could continue to order the cars they want reliably, and Mattel would have a direct confirmed profit!

[@dracoarton94]

We need to send a petition to Mattel to fully bring AcceleRacers back next year

Been going www.ipetitions.com/petition/bring-back-hot-wheels-acceleracers-2

[@Vantoxify]

I don’t even like spending over $100 on Hot Wheels because I collect other things that I’m more passionate about that’s sometimes over $100 or even more but I’m glad Hot Wheels & Mattel is finally realizing how big of an Impact Highway 35 and Acceleracers really is. They probably thought that everyone would’ve forgot about it by now but here we are, getting these 20 year old cars as real life variants, die cast, and in video games being Hot Wheels Unleashed

[@sentimeter233]

Well said man. Another important step we as fans can do is make sure that Acceleracers DLC for Hot Wheels Unleashed succeeds; it allows us to show support for the series without selling our souls for NFTs. Yes it sucks that there are separate DLCs the two games, but I place more value on a game I can replay endlessly than digital trading cards.

[@JayCeeSquared]

Endlessly huh, might end shorter than you think

[@chinnymisc]

I had a bad feeling from the get go

[@ZstormVR]

I very much agree with everything that was said here. Mattel I dumped hundreds of dollars into getting 2 Teku Deora 2 NFT sets. I am willing to dump hundreds of dollars into a premium line of these vehicles. 80% of the people who are nostalgic for this are now into their 20’s with a job and a solid income ready to buy into nostalgia. Please for the 20th anniversary do SOMETHING, anything!

[@JayCeeSquared]

Facts

[@PandaHiveGaming]

man i thought i was the only one who grew up with this series and everyone around me had no idea what this series was and i felt alone but its good to know so many people are trying to bring it back it warms my heart and ive finally dug out my old mint collection of acceleracers and i cant believe i didn't know there was a real toy made for the junk realm hyperpod cant even find it anywhere online

[@SurePerspective]

Mattle saw those acceleracers ebay prices and said "I'm gonna pass you"💀

[@JayCeeSquared]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@WaksWorld05]

The CM6 Speed Machines thing I feel like was done to test the waters to see if fans want a CM6 toyline make a comeback, possibly for Acceleracers.

[@JayCeeSquared]

Wish it were so but it was only for speed machines

[@Ratchetrpg01]

I think the only issue with Acceleracers coming to semi- premium would be the wheels. Internally the speed machine "CM6s" are classified as premium only. It'd be a long shot imo

[@JayCeeSquared]

I’ll take normal wheels too. But there is the premium sets as well that could honestly be used. I just doubt they would. So I’m okay with CM6 not being used.

[@leephelipe]

it wouldn't surprise me if they made a cheaper cm6 lookalike, can't go wrong with that, iirc those semi premium lines have added new wheel types anyways

[@BlazetheAcceleron]

I think I would be okay if they use Neon Speeders for an Acceleracers re-release. They are semi-premium wheels and they look awsome

[@Zed32_Customs]

The thing with the semi premiums is that teyre mostly metal body/metal base cars. Acceleracers could be metal base/plastic body (or the other way around) with proper cm6s. That seems fair, especially since a lot of the original acceleracers were like that.

[@arthurpereira8314]

Hello friend, I'm Brazilian and I'm happy that your content has subtitles, and I can understand it, we have the same passion for acceleracers. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@mrgrooves]

Years ago, I suggested to a Mattel Hot Wheels employee (sorry, I ain't name dropping) that they should consider putting the Teku Deora II in the Pop Culture line. I got a polite response but obviously, it didn't happen.

[@JayCeeSquared]

If only it actually did 😓

[@Daves1world]

I admire your love for the Acceleracers. I love the ideas that you came up with. I think it would be amazing if Hot Wheels would bring the 5 main ignition cars in the premium line. Having a classic design of the ignition cars would be great. Collecting 5/5 of the main 5 characters would be sick!

[@acceleratedkc]

Mattel should take notes from this, cause I wanted this deora 2 ever since it released. To bad not many were made

[@CrazyGamer74256]

Don’t get me wrong. I love how they release another car after 19 years. And it was a version of the car that was never released. I appreciate that they finally did it. But to be honest i’m not gonna spend 600 or more on the official diecast Teku version. Where I can make a custom myself or buy a custom for $400 less. It just really sucks that the official Teku Version is on the retool. But it looks amazing.

[@JayCeeSquared]

Knew the “buy the customs” comment was coming. My only issue is that customizers cannot satisfy the amount of demand in the market, prices will only continue to go up

[@CrazyGamer74256]

@@JayCeeSquaredWhich is True but what if someone really wants this car with this livery. There obviously gonna go for the customs. But with the pricing only time will tell But I do get your point. 👍

[@TWDKenny]

I was extremely lucky to have gotten the NFT Deora for $100 with my 4 packs. I couldn't agree more with what you're saying, and holy heck am I glad you're our spokesperson, JC. It's asinine that our community gets screwed the way we did with this NFT drop. It's massive progress in terms of moving the needle for Acceleracers, but quite the spit in the face for all the fans. I wonder what Mattel thinks about reintroducing Acceleracers as half-premiums 🤔 I wonder about the demand and if it'd be different (and not end up like the originals where stores got overrun with unsold cars). I'd just love to know where Mattel's head is at in relation to Acceleracers. Heck, I'd be down to see Acceleracers as mainline cars; HW Unleashed 2 already has the mock-up cards designed haha. I hope we don't lose faith even if nothing big happens for the 20th anniversary. Anything's possible!!

[@StrutTheEmo27]

I remember on the Hot Wheels Wiki, when I was looking at Spinebuster’s page, there was a cut art for Spinebuster for Mainline. But the livery was that of Mark Wylde’s Spinebuster

[@JayCeeSquared]

yup

[@MrJenningz]

Amazing video JayCee. Been subscribed for a bit and I enjoy watching someone else share the passion I do for Hot Wheels, especially Acceleracers. I am obsessed with all of the Acceleracer cars, but there is one I've always wanted since I was a kid: Reverb. A pristine re-release semi-premium Reverb would drive me NUTS. I'm not too much of a collector yet because I move around a lot, but that is one Hot Wheels car I wouldn't like to miss. Keep doing what you're doing man! I signed the movie continuation petition, and I pray that Mattel sees it! God bless you bro!

[@JayCeeSquared]

Thank you so much man, your words really mean a lot

[@MrJenningz]

Of course bro! Hope to meet you one day as God uses your passions to bring you to new heights! 🔥

[@iancouch5663]

If they bring it back as a semi-premium line, they could release more than 5 cars through waves. They have tons of cars they could re-release, including highway 35 cars!

[@JayCeeSquared]

It would be amazing

[@TFBurnout]

I think you hit the nail on the head calling out the F&F line as an example to follow. Maybe its a thing that can continue throughout the year or longer, eventually getting lesser known vehicles like the bikes or the Nomad. I have no idea why Mattel is still doing NFT's since it seems that they've long since fell out of fashion.

[@Comebackat2025]

Congratulations. We evolving the AcceleRacers back from future

[@thebiggmannnN]

Oh hey look it's my other $1000 deora 2. Also if they do a premium mainline set with the cars you picked. They won't have to make them red dots since those wheel weren't introduced until the second movie.

[@JayCeeSquared]

Red Dots are for the reference to it being redlines. It’s a Nathan Proch touch

[@thebiggmannnN]

@@JayCeeSquared I know, but I feel like the red dots would be expensive for them. so they should make the first set without them to test the waters.

[@Alabamatruck00]

I really like the idea of them doing the Deora II, Slingshot, and Roadrunner since we didn't get those along with a Bassline with movie accurate graphics. I can't think of a fifth one that had different graphics from movie to diecast though (unless you count all the silencers not having purple graphics). As far as the wheels, if they do a premium line they would look good with real riders on them.

[@JayCeeSquared]

Hollowback had a variant and premium would mean they get the CM6s

[@Alabamatruck00]

@JayCeeSquared In that case, your lineup would be really cool if they did the Hollowback variant and the Synkro with the more goldish color from the movies.

[@leephelipe]

honestly id love the semi premium lines suggestion, it sounds pretty close to possible, altho i'd be surprised if they got decent global distribution honestly, premium lines hardly ever get down here in Brazil so theres that, but semi premium i dont think ive ever seen round here, could be an Opportunity to make more stores get those lines down here on on another hand, really way better than trying our luck again with the NFT thing again or hope for a RLC release

[@emoxvx]

This has been my favourite HW car since I was a kid. I got the mainline Deora II the other day for 2,50€. Which is cool and all but it doesn't at all look like the Teku Deora II, it just has big Teku logos on the side but the rest of the paint apps are missing. BTW, cool EU Star Wars books on the left.

[@bberg9942]

A fantastic video and 100 percent agree. Also what should be done is put the movies on streaming services. The fact the battle force 5 is the only one baffles me.

[@JayCeeSquared]

Truth

[@pspgamerserjio]

I can see the price going up year after year 😭

[@rivitedrailfan]

This needed to be said. Just re-releasing a few of the cars would be nice. I’d really like to see a more movie-accurate Bassline myself. It doesn’t have to be super expensive, because they’ll definitely make the money back by releasing them in the first place. Fans would scramble to get them. You put this very well, dude.

[@DiyQ]

Last year most of the discord fandom laughed at me for saying I was going to get one for 200$ I didn’t…

[@arnalestrada3987]

I think this community is this good bcouse of what we actually don't have. Maybe if there were re-releases, a 5th movie (probably horrible if it has to fit to today standards) all the hype and dedication would just die

[@oriongear2499]

If I were Mattel's CEO, I would've released some Limited Edition HW: Acceleracers and WR 5-Packs, with 100 for each of the 9 teams.

[@TheAncientEmo]

Mattel would be insane to not bring these back. I’m a acceleracers fan, grew up watching the movies as a kid and I sold my collection twice over after re-collecting… foolish of me. I’m hoping hot wheels does the right thing and at the very least re-releases the acceleracers line.

[@JayCeeSquared]

[@speedy7892]

*Desperately wants Taro's Roadrunner to be a Hot Wheel* I would so buy the heck out of those if they made that. I will be totally okay if they did the normal casting with just the decals but they could just tweak the casting a bit to fit the Supercharger (like how they did with the 69 Charger casting when they released the Ghost Rider Charger) and just call it the "Custom Roadrunner" or something like that. Even hotter take: I'd take Jack Wheeler's Roadrunner from Battle Force 5 if they made it.

[@zphyr6780]

[@kamonek3825]

most of acceleracers I own are below 100 dollars and carded or not I still like them, but the deora is a case to think as it had less than its first release had but the price was the only change, the decision to go for nfts was bad execution, jackhammer and acc dlc was a good execution as it got into the mainline without being retool'ed but without its original paint, and just the news that mattel acknowledged acc was enough for the fandom to congratulate mattel.

[@Scorbunny_Loquendero_2000]

Also gonna be make to chance to make a comic book (From IDW or BOOM Studios) whose expanded the Acceleracers lore with new characters, some licencing models (JDM, Exotics, Muscle Cars, etc.) with Teku and Metal Maniacs decos and those is situated 20 years after of the original Acceleracers events You imaginated with a Teku Toyota GR Supra or a Metal Maniacs 70 Dodge Charger

[@HotWheelsBlumenau]

Muito bem colocado. É inacreditável a Hot Wheels perder tanto tempo com outras temáticas que não são mais tão interessantes, ou que já estão cansativas e deixar uma temática produzida por ela para trás. Já podiam ter feito testes a pelo menos uns dez anos atrás e para falar bem a verdade, qual o problema de lançar os modelos Acceleracers na Skin do filme em séries menores semi-premium ou até mesmo mainline. Não deixaria uma parcela garantida de pessoas para adquirir os modelos, colecionadores de Hot Wheels, colecionadores da temática Acceleracers, apresentaria para o público mais novo, causando uma revitalização. Nem se fala mais de lançar um Live Action, ou o mítico último episódio, só lançar os modelos na mainline que já vai deixar todo mundo na Hype para comprar. Valeu, muito bom.

Especially when other aspects of modern hot wheels has been treating the fans of acceleracers way better, and not for over a thousand dollars.

I would never buy these toys because they can easily deteriorate on the wheels, you have a rare car un opened or just have it on the shelf isn’t going to used any time, that needs to go to another person because the environment will take it’s place of the box or car making it rust…

Heck even KZbin videos like Charlie Bit My Finger was deleted and became an NFT. I won't buy anything NFT as companies should listen to fans as they betrayed their audiences... partially in a way that people just want to buy products the way it was. I get its all about being experimental and its good to experimental on products on Hot Wheels especially but I just don't get the hype on NFTS. It's all about marketing and how its distributed but with respect to fans especially who want like Hot Wheels to return to retooling old cars from our childhoods and a new generation especially World Race and Acceleracers of how it impacted Hot Wheels and the fanbase as well.
