Something about this Lil Red Express Hotwheel seems off to me. I just can’t quite put my finger on it.

This is what happens when the person you hire to do colors for you is also colorblind.

It’s the font. They used Outlaw Western LLF, the real one is Outlaw Western Serif. Honest mistake

It does look like it doesn’t it? That compounds how bad it is.

The actual red version was done in 2012 .

There’s your problem - this is the Lil Firestone Express, not the Lil Red Express.

These weren’t as popular due to their propensity for blowouts followed by rollovers.

I remember that but this still doesn’t seem right. I also believe somewhere on the package it says lil red express.

I’m wondering if it is a licensing issue at that point... either that or they completely half-assed it.

They previously licensed the Lil Red Express for multiple different models. I think this is just a case of the creativity department changing things up.
