Collector Overview

🎥 Muncle Mikes — Loose Hot Wheels, Custom Builds, DIY Hot Wheels Kits & Premium Hot Wheels Parts

I started Muncle Mikes back in 2017 with nothing more than a small workbench, a love for Hot Wheels, and a habit of tearing apart every casting I could get my hands on. What began as a personal hobby quickly turned into a full diecast ecosystem — one I still build, tune and refine every single day.

Today, I run Muncle Mikes as a hands‑on collector and customizer. I create pro‑built customs, curate loose Hot Wheels, design DIY builder kits, source wheel swap parts, and even produce Monster Rods merch for collectors who live this hobby the same way I do. Everything here is built from real experience — the kind you only get from years of drilling, tapping, painting, restoring and hunting.

If you’re a modder, restorer, photographer, display collector or just someone who loves the feel of a good casting in your hand, this is the place I built for you.

In this quick overview, I walk through how customs, loose diecast, builder kits, wheel swap parts, merch and Collectors Orbit all connect inside the world I’ve been building since 2017.
