Hot Wheels GYD26 RC Wheelz Stuntin’ Remote-Controlled Toys, Multi

Product Information

As much fun as he’s had driving the remote-controlled Wheelz off ramps, Fotheringham is most excited about the toy’s potential impact on expanding representation and changing the way people think about disability.

What I enjoyed about going to the skate park, and what I still enjoy, is you can be as creative as you want,” Fotheringham added. “You’re never really bored. If you’re bored you’re not progressing.” The first person with whom I chatted almost changed my mind. Chris*, a 19 year old with Holt-Oram syndrome—which leads to skeletal abnormalities of the upper limbs and heart problems—was incredibly enthusiastic about his experiences with devotees. With their help and attention, he had learnt to not feel ashamed of his body. He didn't care that they were attracted to his disability. In fact, he said, "I love that they are, and it makes me feel a hell of a lot more confident." Don’t let your mind be overwhelmed with these question. As a truth, we cannot make a smart choice if these are always popped up aroud our head. We understand your feeling as we stand on the customer’s point of view whenever they need information about these items. Just like the world-renowned athlete, the remote-controlled wheelchair has a self-righting feature -- it gets up from a fall and forges on to the next challenge. The excitement doesn't stop! Mitch shrugged. "I have had real relationships with both paraplegic and quadriplegic women and there is no romanticizing the disability. Also it's not just the disability. I have to be attracted to the woman first, the disability comes second."I have to admit that I found reading these responses difficult. I expend a great deal of effort toward being independent, and the thought of someone being attracted to my vulnerability was offensive. I sought out more disabled people who didn't seem to mind devotees to try to understand why they weren't put off. Devotees are people who are turned on by disability. Certain aspects of disability, such as amputation, paralysis, and muscle weakness, and atrophy appear sexually desirable to people who enjoy the fetish. Fotheringham says he grew up playing with Hot Wheels and remembers their impact on him as a child. Now he’s been able to relive those moments with a toy modeled on him. “It’s honestly been unreal,” he says. “Out of everything I’ve been able to do, the partnership with Hot Wheels has repeatedly blown my mind.”

Let's talk the value of toys, and we don't mean price. Toys are not just cars and dolls our kids play with as they grow up, they're also effective tools that teach about the world around them. That's why it is critical for children to see themselves represented in their toys; it sends them a powerful message. I am much more than my disability, and I think I rather wait for someone who'll compliment my smile or sense of humour than my "struggle" or my assistive equipment. According to my friends, devotees are pretty common. If you have a disability and try dating, chances are you'll bump into one soon. Yet, the idea of someone being turned on by my disability seemed both baffling and distasteful to me. So, I decided to find out more. Nate* chimed in with a more detailed explanation. "A devotee's attraction doesn't make the condition worse, but it may make it better. Having someone attracted to my disability is one of the good things it could cause. So often we receive a negative reaction, it's nice to get a positive one too."Now, let's get this straight: I love my wheelchair, I do. It gets me around exceedingly well. But, sexy? That's taking it a bit too far. Hot Wheels is expanding representation for kids who use wheelchairs – with the company’s first-ever remote-controlled wheelchair toy. Defy the limits with a wheelchair inspired by the one Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham uses. Known for extreme stunts, “Wheelz” launched a chair like this off a 5-story tall ramp to land a gravity-defying front flip.
