My investigation into the deepest #Hot#Wheels#inventor story has been picked up by the official Hot Wheels wiki by a separate author.
Jack Hartman, aged 40 and VP of Preliminary design, died on the job in suspicious circumstances in 1968, which was likely a police corruption case. No charges were filed.
My book, Undercover Toy Stories, covered Jack's incredible story as well as his second wife, Eileen, who worked for #Mattel, hiring some of the best toy talent in American history.
This author holds on to the promise that all information, including an unreleased film of the event, will eventually come to light in the public.

Jack Hartman was loved by many and was a beautiful person. His legacy is now believed to be permanently baked into the history of the toy, #Hot#Wheels, as the man who was looking for battery-powered technology for Hot Wheels, which later became Sizzlers, is the very reason he was in the parking lot.

I had the opportunity to speak with designer Stephen Wuesthoff, the former Lead of Design at #Kenner, about the backstory of #Savage#Mondo#Blitzers from the 1990s. These one-inch toys stirred controversy due to their labels, drawing the attention of concerned parents and teachers.
