Heroes on Hot Wheels starring Michel Vaillant were sold in 1991 - 1992.
They are a set of twelve VHS video tapes packaged with an exclusive Hot Wheels car that wasn't sold separately.
Each video tape features two Hot Wheels cartoons and are approximately 45 minutes long. The cartoons were produced by Jetlag Productions. Originally the cartoons where made in France for the Michel Vaillant Cartoon series in 1990 with 65 episodes. In 1991, the cartoons where sent to the West where they were re dubbed for an English audience and repackaged with the Hot Wheels Licensing.
In total there is 6 VHS tapes and 6 "Volume #" tapes which are duplicates of the original 6 VHS tapes. There is also one Mail-in VHS with only 1 episode (unlike the other with 2 episodes) that possibly came in with the Street Roader included.
One additional casting, the Street Roader, was originally planned for use in this series of boxed sets; it was however too big to fit into the package. It was later sold in baggies only.
