    Hotwheels car/people things???

    Does anyone remember back in the mid late 70's it was Hot wheels (I think) cars in people shapes. They had wheels attached to their hands and feet, with motors sticking out of their bellies or backs, and some had helmets with goggles on them???

    I used to have a bunch of them and I don't remember what they are called, they were awesome and I loved those things.

    Does anyone remember them or know what they were?

    I have no clue what to look for on eBay or Google to find them.

    Are you sure they were Hot Wheels? The only thing Hot Wheels I've found that looks close are the Speed Demons from 1986.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      Ahh! I know exactly what you're talking about, and saw some a few months back somewhere on the web, but can't for the life of me remember the name. Maybe it was even here that I saw them. I guess that's of no help, but someone here will probably know.

            Those are what I was thinking of from the description. I bet you're right.
