Welcome to my longest video I've ever made so far! In this video we take a look at the ENTIRE history of the magical color changing hot wheels. This video is complete with a ton of interesting history of these toys, many fun unboxing segments, and even a full review of the color shifters flash game! This has been a passion project of mine for a few months now, so I hope you enjoy :D
Special thanks to @Shibbi for the help on camera!!!

I love the contrast between the scripted segments and the chaos of the unboxing and playing with the cars. I outta dig out my old Hot Wheels box from the storage and find a nice place to put them where they can sit proudly.
I had the truck at around 9:33 for YEARS and I forgot how I got it, and I NEVER KNEW it changed from the boring jet black tank to the sick design. So I went and got some warm water and it still worked! I am amazed I never knew about this until I watched this video! Thank you Pongon!

Just a tip with the packages, if you apply a little nail polish remover to the back of the card in the shape of the blister, you can take it off and not have to worry about damaging the front of the card 👍 Love your videos and you and your boyfriend's contagious energy, keep it up Donut!! 😁
It is more fun watching you trying to tear it carefully though lmao
Hmmm maybe I will try that next time
And if you're worried that the acetone will dissolve the paint or (like me) can't get acetone because people make narcotic with it, you can also cut around the plastic blister with a box cutter or an exacto knife@@PolygonDonut

@@camhedmr_5593 True that! I actually did that with the one card I decided to keep 🤣 It's the Nissan Hakosuka Skyline that's painted to look like Brian's R34 in 2F2F, the coolest part is the reflection of the R34 on the ground, so good I had to keep it

I love these so much so I'm glad someone gets me tbh. The colors make brain go "WOW!" Also to clarify, the sponges seen at 3:58 were to clean the car so you reset it back to it's default color.
😳
I have the original dragon one!!!! This brought back some insane memories, thank you so much for covering these! I freaking almost forgot the dragon had a third color, this is so freaking cool. Gonna go visit my parents in a few weeks, I’m gonna dig it out of my bedroom desk drawer and play with it again
I loved color changers as a kid, hot wheels are awesome and I loved color changers. I used to have like a million color shifter Disney car cars and hot wheels. Just like the hot wheels video you made, this brings back some nostalgia.

Aww thank you so much, i love the yippeees
@@PolygonDonutyipeeeeeeee
Out of interest: what means a "neurodivergent safe channel"? Never heard that term and would love to know the meaning 😊
@@Bluekuh As far as I know, it's not an official term, but a way to say a KZhead channel which has had the person or people running it confirm they accept/embrace neurodivergent people, especially if they're part of the community. I hope this helped!
Yess
there was another color shifters flash game for the creatures line called Creature Car Chase where you drove around collecting things and changing colors, it was really fun!
Oh I haven’t heard of that one. Oops
Pongon the type of guy to say “Wowzers” when he gets surprised.
is pongon gay?
Have you seen formula fuelers? I thought it was a bizarre fever dream memory until I found out they actually existed. You basically "power" it by adding random liquids into the car. If someone has tried any of the forbidden body fluids in these things I need to know
Wait what ive not heard of thosee
interesting quiery to say the least
Yo I actually have a few of those
I wanted those so badly as a kid
Looked up the wiki. It supposedly works by passing electrical current through a liquid, so more sodium means more go. Piss would probably work really well.
Shibbi and Pongon definitely share one brain cell.
I was never really a hot wheels kid, but I remember seeing so much advertising for the color changing gimmick and its playsets that it's basically what hot wheels is to me lol
The hair dryer montage is such a blessing
Goin through a lot right now and your videos have a comforting vibe, thanks for making this, it helps.
Pongon probably says "score!" When he finds pizza in the fridge
Pongon for sure the type of hooligan to say "why i oughtta" when someone tries to start a fight
Polygon is the type of wiggleton to say tallyho when he sees an opposing aircraft in WWII
IT'S FINALLY HERE I don't even collect Hot Wheels and I love these videos Also love the image for water at 2:00
Good work pongon. Keep up the good work. The colour changing hot wheels totally wowed my mind. I never knew that such a thing existed!
Clearly the Ice Pen was better than the brushes and stamps, cause those last two can wear off with time really easily while the Ice Pen is simply a mold that you can make a pen out of and it's guaranteed to always work.
Pongon is the type of rapscallion to use a rifle as a paintbrush
I am so hyped to see you upload once again, as each upload is the highlight of my day. And as always, excited for seeing what pretty color your nails will be in each video, of course. Not only that, but I also enjoyed seeing your hair decorated with striking neon-green streaks.

I remember having that orange to blegh green van. I probably still have it, but I don't know where it is. I also had one that went from a red rescue vehicle to a white ambulance. I remember trying to change the color by squeezing it in my hand really tight, but the freezer worked better. so thanks for unlocking that memory. : )
me when the color shids, idk never watched the video
This video gave me heart failure, informative✓✓✓✓
Fun Fact: hot wheels done the color shifters series with monster jam when they had the contract but now spin master did make a color changers series with Steel Reveal & Dirty To Clean, then in 2023 they did something called mystery mudders that is just color reveals but with a mud texture instead of paint.
Colour Shifter Creatures were what caught my eye. Although I didn’t really like the creature cars, so the ones I had a lot of fun with was the Mitsubishi which had 3 colours from icy to hot: Purple, Blue and White

I never knew all the background of HW Colour-Changers, I’m quite surprised to hear they go back that far. My very first Colour-Changer car was a Premium NASCAR my aunt bought me from America back in 2007 when I was 9. I used to have a Colour-Change set with a random car that you could fire into the back of a wrecked tanker, and the water would cause the car to change to look corroded! I also love the blind bag versions of the Colour-Changers, the ones where you get two cars in each barrel covered in yellow paint which washed off in cold water.
YOU HAVE A BROWN CAT
YES HIS NAME IS SNICKERS HE IS SO AWESOME
@@PolygonDonut he's so cute 😭😭
New ones 😤😔😑 Old ones😀👍😀👍
i have 2 of the exact same hotwheels, they are torque twisters with an orange-to-white shift. i named them orangey and they are some of my favourite hotwheels in my 600+ collection :D
Bloody hell I miss these things. You would play with them in the bath and watch as they change colors when you dunk it into the tub. Absolute fond memories

@@PlayBoiCartisProducer yeah
Lol you said my exact thoughts upon seeing which Convertable in particular got unreleased that was the one I would have wanted the most. Excellent video as always!
Now THIS is the history I want to learn!
I remember I got one of these from an old guy who sold stuff out of a house he bought and converted into a weird storage/bazaar. I was so psyked to get home and dip it in warm and cold water. I also had a play set that was a spray paint factory, and you'd push cars through spray them with warm water then it's be a different color. Hot wheels were honestly so cool; I still like Lego more but it honestly isn't too far off.
I remember having a color-changing Hot Wheels as a kid this was serene in night. 어렸을 때 색깔이 변하는 Hot Wheels를 가지고 있었던 기억이 나네요. 밤에는 고요했어요.
Pongor the typa Rubella Measles to be walkin across the street to suddenly have the delicious smell of an apple pie an old lady left on the windowsill come into their nostrils, and then beggins floating towards the source of the fragrance 💀
I cannot watch Nene without thinking of you anymore lmfao
The “But what if the hot wheels were black or chinese.” in the thumbnail made me laugh
"This what your Hot Wheels would looks like if they were dipped in hot and cold water"
love the pacing and energy in this vid>>> keep it up
My very young cousin really loves the goopy color shifters, exactly because it causes a mess. There's also those buckets of slime with cars in 'em, and those FNAF figurines that you need to scratch out of a block of chalk.. it's a whole trend
Polygon would definitely cover themselves in the color changeing paint and then would walk around in the middle of the city while showing off the paint
Today i have learned that pongon lives in australia and that makes me happy lol
Hotwheels With Pongon 2: Pongon Strikes Back! Also my mood when watching Pongon: 😄😁😀😀😃😀😄😄😄😄😁😁

This is so fun to watch I brought me back when I was younger and I remember going to my grandma's house and she had they had the the like car wash color changing set that we like almost never got to play it whenever we did it was so fun
I loved polygon donut since so much time!!! I love his silly editing and funny jokes!!!! Maybe this is why i got adhd
God this video is so funny and informative. me and my cousin watch your videos whenever a new one drops as part of some Bed-time ritual. I can't wait to see what you make next!!!
Thanks alot :D
i love the live action polygon donut. peoples got the tisim about old toys and is infodumping their way to youtube fame. seems like such a fun person to know.
Glad I found this lil goober while I was in a depressive episode
only three minutes in but i like the Use of the pongyngon Ohnut avatar more ..... :D
hot wheels crashers as a gimmick deserves a video as well!
I love the adhd couple!! 😁
more hotwheels video from polygon donut always makes my day :D
The cat must be very excited with the colour hot wheel!11!1!!!11 😁😁😁
i had the carwash as a kid, it was so fun. half the time I played with it it didn't even have actual water in it (messy) but I still has fun XD I didn't even know it was for the color changing cars specifically.
I also have one and I knew it was a colour changing car
Ah, Color Shifters... What a good time, Mine were saddly sold, but I'll always remember playing with my water circuit during Summer.
seeing one of my childhood hotwheel cars in this video was not something i expected but happy about it :p
Recognised about 6 color racers I still have in a box in the attic. The spunge, just like the stick is a tool to apply water/draw.
The color shifters game was my fuckin JAM
I love how many different flavors of hotwheels there are. Especially the flavor changing hotwheels
I shall wait for the day Polygon covers Peppa Pig toys.
This is a really cool explanation about Hot Wheels colour changing
I don't know for sure, but ifI had to guess, the sponge was so that you could change colors of select parts of the car by sponging different temperatures of water on it (like an early iteration of the ice pen). Especially since part of the marketing for these cars was "making your own design/pattern".
