With a sequel to the $1 billion hit a long way off (if a possibility at all), Warners is keeping the Mattel momentum going by trying to push forward ‘Hot Wheels’ while Hollywood questions which toys can realistically become hits.

    Well they already made a max steel movie (the new one thats in white armor and its lame) and it was a very amateurly made superhero origin story bore of a movie. Its an annomally that has been lost to the sands of time and they rather everyone forget about it and while i havent watched it, i still remember it coming out since i grew up with the original max steel toy which was pretty much just sci fi tom crouises character from the mission imposible movies and i liked the toy very much when i was a kid. Would be nice if it was brought back at least in a similar manner from its original form, and if they make a movie about it then maybe not make it a tax dodging trashbag worthy of a boxing match with Uwe Bowll.

    Here is the imdb link

    The old one thats like ethan hunt from mission imposible was pretty cool, it even got a bunch of animated movies like the ones barbie goth back at early 2000s. Probably made by the same people, of course an advertising first but they kinda had a storyline going (until they didnt) and where all around entertaining short 1:30 max time movies, they even came with some toys and candy, i remember having a collection of a lot of them.

    Doesnt seem like they are making them anymore though, i searched in the mattel store and it doesnt list any buyable max steel products.

    And yes i am very nostalgic about the toy.
