Kids love Hot Wheel cars, and they really love the color transforming “Color Shifter” cars! This play set makes changing the car color not only easy but loads of fun. It comes with one car that changes from icy blue to green, but others can be purchased for use with this toy. The base has dunk tanks to dip the cars into hot or cold water making the cars’ paint transform. There is a spray gun and special shielded area for squirting the cars and watching them switch color. Even though water collects in a basin beneath the platform, the Hot Wheels Color Shifters is best played with outside for worry-free action.
After transforming the colors, the car can be shot down the curved track on the Hot Wheels Color Shifter Blaster to race away from the base. One parent suggests equipping the kids with small paintbrushes so they can make intricate designs on the car. Parents note that luke-warm water will change the color, but to change it back requires icy cold water. They also note that the color shifting ability temporarily wears out after about a half hour of play. The cars just require a rest, so it is a good idea to have several cars. Several reviewers say an adult needs to be on hand for making frequent trips for hot and cold-water refills.

Get The Scoop On These Hot Wheels Color Shifters.
Customer reviews are a great way to research a product and find out if it truly delivers. Here are a few owner comments from Hot Wheels Color Shifters Blaster reviews.
My husband was skeptical when I had this baby delivered, but it didn’t take long to make him into a believer. We had never fried a turkey (or any large poultry for that matter) so we tested it on a 4 pound whole chicken to make sure we were ready for the real thing on Thanksgiving. Once the oil was heated up (about 30 minutes), it took about 20 minutes from start to finish (“finish” meaning carved chicken on our plates!). It was the bomb! The results were not greasy at all, just tasty.
My 4 year old son loves to spray anything, so this is perfect. It really keeps him occupied and excited. A few things to keep in mind, though. This is a toy that requires a lot of your attention. The hot water must be hot and the cold, cold. I end up making a lot of trips to the sink for him. You also have to dump the water out of the little catch pan every so often. And you have to dump water out of the entire thing every so often. It catches quite a bit of water, but it will make a wet mess. The cars seems to wear out after about 30 minutes, and once they sit and get back to room temperature they are fine. So I just bought a few extra cars and keep some up for my son and rotate them. And if the cars aren’t changing colors, you water probably needs to be colder (put ice in the spray bottle). To add something else to it, I gave my son a toothbrush and a paintbrush so he can “paint” the cars too. He likes to make stripes and spots. Even with the hassle, my son loves it and it is completely worth it. We’ve only had it a week, so I can’t comment on the durability. Some small parts that with really rough treatment, they will probably break.
