Kinda seems like they based them on the caricatures in your signature?

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
The irony to that is that I could only find IROC-Z caricatures to work with so I went from IROC-Z to '82. Sunstar went '82 to IROC-Z. And my '82 caricature looks good from a few feet away since it's so small, but if you look closely, you can tell it's not correct. Much like the Sunstar diecast.

The beauty of a caricature is that it's not supposed to be exact.

What happened to the A pillar? It's way out of proportion and the B pillar makes it look like the car's been rolled onto its roof.

I think it's the angle of the photo. I bought one for my friend with a red Firebird and it looks accurate.

Probably was the angle. I was trying to work with the glare and get the name of the vehicle clear in the photo.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
I've gone a little overboard on my "Camaro" collection 99% of my collection is all 3rd gens. I have a few Firebirds mixed in but not many. Still hunting for the new red bird.

Great find. These seem to be hitting Canada more than the states. I'm on the hunt but no luck locally.

I would absolutely love one at least. Are you in Canada? Shipping would probably be $25, so not sure if shipping just one would be cost effective. It's a very nice gesture & if you found more than one extra, then it would be beneficial.
If you are in the US, shipping is about $10.
