1. TOOLING
The
Roamin Candle (Casting #6014) debuted in the 1971 Hot Wheels RRRumblers line. It is a heavy-duty "chopper" style motorcycle characterized by its elongated front forks and a tall, "sissy bar" rear seat support. The design features a stylized V-Twin engine integrated into a die-cast metal frame. Unlike standard Hot Wheels cars, RRRumblers were designed with a weighted plastic track-guide system to maintain balance on orange track sets. The "Roar" factor refers to the acoustic vibration created by the textured plastic wheels on the track surface, though no internal sound mechanism was included in this specific casting.
2. RIDERS
The original rider figure assigned to the
Roamin Candle is commonly referred to by collectors as
"The Monk" or
"The Friar".
- Standard Figure: A hooded figure in a traditional habit.
- Color Variations: Documented in Brown, Dark Brown, and Tan plastic.
- Attachment: The figure features a small circular hole in the base of the robes to mount onto the peg located on the seat of the motorcycle.
3. COLOR REGISTRY
The
Roamin Candle was produced during the transition from Spectraflame to Enamel finishes.
- Spectraflame Colors: Blue, Green, Red, Rose, Magenta, Aqua, and Purple.
- Enamel Colors: Yellow, Orange, and Green.
- Rarity Note: Spectraflame Rose and Purple are considered high-tier rarities for this specific casting.
4. CHASSIS & TIRES
- Base-Plate: The chassis is constructed of die-cast metal. Standard markings on the underside typically include: "Mattel, Inc. 1970, Hong Kong" (despite the 1971 release date).
- Wheels: Features two-piece plastic wheels. The wheels are thin, black, and high-profile, mounted on straight metal axles.
- Handlebars: Often plated in a chrome-like finish, though the base material is plastic or a zinc alloy depending on the production run.
5. CONDITION KILLERS
The
Roamin Candle is highly susceptible to several forms of structural degradation:
- Handlebars: The most frequent "Condition Killer." The handlebars are extremely brittle and are often found snapped off or glued.
- Front Forks: Due to the length of the forks, they are prone to bending or "splaying" outward, which ruins track performance.
- Sissy Bar: The tall rear bar is a high-impact point; paint chips and structural snapping are common.
- Missing Rider: Because the rider was a friction-fit accessory, a significant majority of loose units are found without "The Monk."
- Chrome Loss: Friction and age often cause the silver plating on the engine and handlebars to oxidize or rub off.
6. MARKET TRENDS
Note: Values are based on historical auction data and vary by color rarity.
- Loose (Good Condition, No Rider): $40.00 - $85.00 USD.
- Loose (Excellent Condition, With Rider): $125.00 - $225.00 USD.
- Mint (Unpunched Blister Pack): $350.00 - $600.00+ USD (depending on color).
- Rare Spectraflame Variations: Information not available for a definitive ceiling, as private sales for Magenta or Rose often exceed standard market estimates.
