HW Experimotors | Custom Small Block

Hot Wheels is not associated with Construction Toys, but for those not updated that their parent company is Mattel which now owns Mega Brands (formerly Mega Bloks) since 2014. But Mattel’s Hot Wheels did introduce a die-cast car that has studs in them the year before in the form of the Fig Rig truck.

05.07.2018 – Hot Wheels is not a toyline that is associated with a building toy or construction toy brand, but more of a diecast car brand owned by Mattel. It is until it acquired MEGA Brands that produced Mega Bloks in March 2014 when Mattel finally announced that they’re acquiring the toy brand. The idea of having a Hot Wheels car being produced with studs parts to have minifigures ride them goes back to 2013 when they introduced the Fig Rig.

10.23.2015 – If there is one thing that’s quite ironic after LEGO® being named the number one toy brand in the world making another toy brand not officially but compliments its competitor.
