From Vu
I was at Walmart the other day and saw these Avengers related Hot Wheels cars (under the Hot Wheels Premium branding). I wanted to buy the Hiway Hauler 2, which features George Perez's Taskmaster art taken from the cover of AVENGERS #196 (Jun 1980), but that particular car had sold out. I'm still on the hunt for this car.
This isn't the first Hot Wheels car to feature Taskmaster... in January 2021, we saw the movie version of Taskmaster on a Hot Wheels car with "First Appearance" applied to the label. Obviously, it's not George Perez's art, nor is it based on George Perez's designs.
Also, worth noting, is that Infinity Gauntlet (Thanos) was featured on the Horseplay Hot Wheels as a chase car in April 2018.
