 Comment I would make an exception for some models which are depictions of standard vehicles, according to Com:Toys -> "A toy model that is an exact replica of an automobile, airplane, train, or other useful article where no creative expression has been added to the existing design is not eligible for copyright protection in the United States".

@Jeff G.: Each Hot Wheels model that you've raced along the iconic orange track or placed on your desk has been crafted from scratch. While pictures and 3-D renderings of the real cars serve as crucial references, the ultimate design is entirely unique. Take, for instance, the Hot Wheels rendition of the 2018 Camaro SS – it's a distinctive creation, not a mere duplicate. - this is paraphrased information from this link, so hot wheels aren't an exact replica of their source material, even if they are based of real life cars.

Pinging @Fma12 for a reply to the above.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 07:29, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Grandmaster Huon: HW has a lot of models which are merely created from their designers' imagination, it's a fact. But in the case of the models I mentioned above, can you see any distinctive, unique or subject of copyright detail in trucks such as the VW id buzz or this police truck? Speaking of HW models not nominated here, do you consider this Peugeot 505 is not an exact replica of the real life car? What distinctive or purely decorative element do you see on it? Well, I think you're generalising your p.o.v. about the Hot Wheels replica vehicles. Fma12 (talk) 10:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well they are a lot more distorted to aid with depth perception as per this reddit post. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 14:29, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The cars I mentioned are not distorted; on the contrary, I see them as pretty accurate models. On the other hand, you are citing reddit as a source, which is a forum based on opinions rather than facts. Fma12 (talk) 00:27, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
see this source as well. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 17:14, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
and this reliable source too. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 17:15, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The monster truck style hot wheels have some creative modifications that are above TOO. Grandmaster Huon (talk) 17:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. While some designs may be close to the originals they were inspired from, I'm deleting them out of precaution. --Bedivere (talk) 14:29, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
