>>11602121>>11602131>>11602152I don't make the rules. I love Evil Twin's design. But when people want a Larry Wood lead sled, Purple Passion wins out.
And sure, it's lasted over 25 years, but that doesn't necessarily mean the same as Mattel plastering you over all the packaging, memorabilia, games, cartoons and ads.
It lacks the significance of Twin Mill and Deora (former is one of the earliest fantasy and later is a Sweet Sixteen member), it's overlooked by the Merc (Purple Passion), and when Mattel tries to pull boomer car for mascot role it's the Bone Shaker or Rodger Dodger.
In a perfect world Evil Twin would get its respect, the mainline would have better budget, and the aesthetic themes used currently didn't look like monkey butt half the time.
P.S.
>NightshifterMore a period mascot like El Segundo Coupe unless Mattel still heavily pushes it into the 2030s without falter.
>TFNo it's really just Bone Shaker being the only other mascot car on TM's level. It took that spot from Red Baron who originally was an honorary second mascot, but Mattel lost the rights to it and Bone Shaker quickly proved to be a fan favorite. Also yes it's silly that it isn't picked because it isn't a mascot, but it's a crossover trying to get everyone's money, and they probably would pick BS because BS is the other cool car that's shoved down everyone's throats.
>'57 ChevyIn this day and age only 50+ year old men still give a shit about it. Most kids now do not care, either because it ain't fantasy (reddit has ruined fantasy car discussion among younger collectors change my mind) or it's not JDM/Euro.
