Bottle-Shaped Mystery Toys

PMI’s ‘Fast & Furious NOS Capsules’ Turns Characters Into Collectibles

PMI is expanding its ‘Fast & Furious’ collectibles with ‘Fast & Furious NOS Capsules,’ bottle-shaped mystery packs that let fans build a small display of characters and cars from across the franchise’s 25-year run. Each capsule contains a 2-inch figure, a fixed-wheel mini vehicle and several display extras.

The range covers 12 characters, with rarer finds including a Dom Toretto variant and Brian O’Conner. A collector’s guide helps fans track the set, and the capsules are available exclusively at Walmart.

Walmart exclusivity gives the line a defined retail lane and supports the repeat-purchase behavior that mystery toys rely on. The NOS bottle format and chase figures turn a movie anniversary into an ongoing collectibles program, align with PMI’s broader multiyear Universal licensing deal and leave room for more character-based drops under the partnership.
