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.

After so many variations of the die-cast cars that let you put a Mega Bloks figure or a LEGO Minifigure, They finally produced a die-cast car that you can be able to swap parts using studs built-in to the cars’ plastic chassis!

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.

But LEGO® in some parts of the world is not fully enjoyed due to its very expensive product and others pick the alternatives...
