ColorChangers

Color Changers History
In 1995 Micro Machines had specially marked packages with four bonus Color Changers attached. These would change color when exposed to warm water. This was the only way to get these Color Changers.

Micro Machines had earlier released a series of Sun Color Changers. These vehicles would take on a purple tint when exposed to UV lights.

Identifying Features
This series used regular Micro Machines castings, so there are no unique features to this series. The paint usually appears matte finish without much detail painted on. If you look on the underside, you can usually see the "warm" color overspray. The paint on these tend to chip easily showing the "warm" color in the chipped areas.

Color Changer Test
If you think you might have a Color Changer, it is easy to test the car to be sure. Just turn your tap water on warm and put the car under the running tap (don't do this with scalding water for safety reasons). If the temperature in your area is already warm (in the 80's to 90's °F) the car may already be showing the warm color. In this case, stick the car in the freezer for about a half hour and it should change to the cool color.

Similar Brands
Many other companies released color changing vehicles. The color on these similar brands usually looks waxy instead of a solid color.
