Micro Hot Wheels is a series of miniature Hot Wheel cars that came out in 1989 to compete with the newest phenomenon of diecast toys "Micro Machines". They are the first series for Hot Wheels to venture into making cars smaller than their usual 1:64 scale. After the series ended within a year (or two?), Hot Wheels would later venture again into the micro cars in series like Hot Wheels Micro Vehicles, Planet Micro, Atomix, Micro Madnetics & Worlds Smallest Hot Wheels. In 1990 they where renamed to the Mini Hot Wheels but came with the same and new castings.
One thing to note, even though the Micro Hot Wheels where smaller than normal Hot Wheels, they where bigger than Micro Machines, which later series corrected.
