Model Shop Employee Holiday Releases

The Model Shop are a part of the Hot Wheels design process which work a lot in the prototyping stages of the design. Occasionally they would make a piece as a gift to their fellow employees in the Holiday Season. These were very low production and are among the rarest of all Hot Wheels vehicles.
