Hot Birds are a set of 6 futuristic die-cast toy airplanes produced by American toy maker Mattel in 1971. All 6 of the models were manufactured in the US. 4 of the models were also produced in Hong Kong. Hot Birds were painted with the same Spectraflame paint as Mattel's Hot Wheels cars were painted, however, the planes came in only five colors, Red, Blue, Green, Gold/Yellow, and Magenta. Not all models came in all colors. These colors also came varying shades believed due to the way the paint was mixed at the factory.
Model names/manufacturing countries were:
Rarity by Color
Hot Birds Play Sets
Hot Birds Accessories
