The Hot Wheels x Cybertruck collaboration has been announced by Mattel as a new product collection created with automotive brand Tesla that will offer avid fans with a way to keep a small version of the namesake car nearby.
The futuristic toy car collection includes two remote control Cybertruck designs that includes a track-compatible 1:64 scale model option as well as the hobby-grade 1:10 scale model. Both of the toy cars are extremely limited edition with availability set to start in mid-December 2020 and only be purchasable until they sell out.
The Hot Wheels x Cybertruck collaboration has been unveiled on the Mattel Creations website as prototype designs, which means the final product could vary slightly once brought to production.
