Mattel announces new Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Cars playsets

Every year Mattel releases a new assortment of Hot Wheels playsets, and 2021 is going to have a good assortment of them.

Mattel has a lot of new diecast vehicle products on the way this year. We’ll kick-off with six new Hot Wheels sets.

Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Stunt Tire Playset (GVK48)

• When the set opens it reveals a launcher for either two cars or one monster truck to takeoff up the ramp and through a “ring of fire”.
