This item is a small-scale die-cast model that replicates the Race Car token from the classic board game. The model — dubbed the Hot Wheels Pass ‘N Go 1:64 die-cast collectible — is engineered to be compatible with Hot Wheels track systems. The collaboration between Hasbro's MONOPOLY and Mattel's Hot Wheels is positioned to appeal to a broad audience and is scheduled for a global release in early November. This initiative is part of a broader, ongoing strategic alliance between the companies that has previously yielded other hybrid products. The offering is intentionally priced accessibly at $1.25. Brian Baker, SVP of [Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-expansion-packs), NERF, and [PLAY-DOH](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playdoh-barbie) at Hasbro: "For 90 years, MONOPOLY fans have raced around the board, collected $200, and dreamed of landing on Boardwalk first."
