In this must-watch episode of Diecast Breakdown, Chuck and David sit down with Amy Boylan, one of the most influential figures in diecast history. From helping launch Mattel’s Red Line Club to her latest venture with the high-end diecast brand KILO Wheels, Amy has helped shape the direction of the hobby for collectors around the world.
We dive into Amy's fascinating journey, from working in video games to managing iconic automotive brands like Shelby American and bringing that same level of passion and precision to KILO Wheels, a new company focused on true-to-scale, intricately detailed diecast cars for serious collectors.
She shares behind-the-scenes stories from her time at Mattel, the creation of the Red Line Club, and how she’s building KILO Wheels with a collector-first mindset. If you care about where the diecast hobby is headed, this is essential viewing.
