Phantasy Feature: Hot Wheels Easter 2014 Nash Metropolitan Metrorail

Pictured above is the latest Nash Metropolitan 'Metrorail'. We are lucky enough to have it released as part of the Hot Wheels Easter 2014 series! In my opinion, this year's Easter series is one of the best released in recent years, with eight fantastic cars that are all worthy of spotlight. I had a hard choice in selecting which casting I wanted to cover, but finally settled on this stylish Metrorail. Originally released in 2000, the Metrorail (or Nash Metropolitan, the names are used almost interchangeably) has seen many releases in multiple lines since then. It's a great little casting with a lot of character, to which you can thank designer Mike Nuttall for! Of note on this latest release is the highly detailed tampo on the car itself. Check out that bunny face that stretches from the front, all the way over the hood. How neat-o is that?! The Metrorail is one of those odd castings that blurs the boundary between fantasy and licensed castings. In all honesty, it is a little bit of both. Either way, it's right at home here at the Phantasy Fleet blog. Be on the lookout for this Metrorail at your local Wal-Mart during the Easter holiday season.
