Toy Documentary - 1:64 HotWheels BigFoot Champions Line

Would love to see those sketch drawings!!

[@christolbert37]

That was really informative. I love these toys.

[@drneeel]

cool! glad i could entertain for a bit!

I had all these as a kid, I think the idea was that the regular pickups we're to emulate Bigfoot 1-7, with tower tires emulating #5. The terror tank seems like a way to consolidate the FasTrax and Shuttle/Aerostar to save production costs and give more value. IIRC the tower tires could work on the terror tank if you used the regular tires as spacers, giving an effect like when they used the 10' tires on Bigfoot 3/4 before purpose built 5 was made in 85. Cool to see this nostalgic bit of history.

[@drneeel]

yes, true haha the mixing and matching combo's on the tires where quite numerous, i didn't think i would have much time to sit and go through every one of them, but good catch! and i'm glad you enjoyed the vid!

Honestly, one of the best hot wheels related videos I’ve seen. And it’s of my favorite childhood toy, if you do more like this, I’ll be subscribed a long time! Keep it up man!

[@drneeel]

Thanks so much dude! i really love doing this type of video, but unfortunately it doesn't get many views, it breaks my heart lol. It took a few months to gather the research and do the interviews. i have some other videos like this made but most people dont share the interest. So ive not uploaded them yet.

[@ReboottoysEllis]

Yes more

[@drneeel]

would love to do more, takes alot of time tracking down designers and getting interviews set up :)

You missed the Snake Bite truck from the line.

[@drneeel]

admittedly i did, i couldn't find a suitable example of one in time for editing. But the spirit of the toy was in the presentation.

Pretty cool. I cant wait for the new Big Foot release. When Mattel broke the news they lost the Monster Jam license... i was hoping they'd partner with Bigfoot to stick it to Feld... plus now theres a real chance Hot Wheels will release a 1:64 version of my favorite Monster Truck of all time, Snakebite.

[@drneeel]

yea, the bigfoot announcement really got me hyped after seeing the truck again in ready player 1. Then i remembered all the fun bigfoot stuff from the 80s and 90s! Fun times!

[@mtfan]

Great video! I’d love to see more of those concept drawings! They also had the Wreck’n’Roll Arena and Deluxe Arena (JC Penney Exclusive) as part of the 1/64 line. They also had some cable-controlled RC trucks and other motorized vehicles under the Bigfoot Champions name which were licensed toys from other manufacturers.

[@Btrains84]

Another flaw with this line,was the flags on the back of the trucks...They snapped off way too easily!!..

[@jorgewashingmachine5808]

Where can you get it

[@drneeel]

well, its a 27 year old toy...so ebay is your best bet.
