Unveiling Mattel’s Latest Toys: Tesla Cybertruck, Gucci Cadillac, and Beach Land Rover

The standout among the new releases is undeniably the MEGA X Tesla Cybertruck, priced as the most luxurious addition to the lineup. Unlike your typical desk trinket, this kit offers over 3,000 pieces that builders can assemble brick by brick, sculpting the elusive electric pickup truck by Tesla. Priced at $250, the model is tailored to captivate Tesla enthusiasts and devotees alike.

According to the release by Mattel, this Cybertruck model houses hidden surprises for builders to uncover during assembly. A notable feature that greets builders from the outset is the inclusion of the iconic shattered windows, akin to the truck showcased in the infamous on-stage demo. These fractured windows symbolize the failed strength exhibition of the purportedly armored glass.

Parallelly, Hot Wheels introduces a 1:64 scale model in collaboration with Gucci, commemorating the fashion empire’s centennial milestone. The diecast 1982 Gucci Cadillac Seville emerges as the premier “haute couture partnership” for Hot Wheels, a move that surprises no one. It smoothly maneuvers on Real Riders rubber tires with a chic yellow-striped whitewall design, encased in dazzling chrome wheels.

The attention to detail is remarkable, especially evident in the intricate patterned vinyl top. Packaged in genuine Gucci wrapping, this model is priced at $120 for enthusiasts. The original Gucci Cadillac Seville was a collaborative project between GM and the fashion powerhouse, featuring a V8 sedan exclusively available in white, black, and brown hues. This collaboration wasn’t Gucci’s sole dalliance in the automotive realm; a turbulent endeavor led to the creation of a Jaguar model as well.

Not to be outdone, Matchbox offers a budget-friendly alternative with the introduction of the Land Rover Series II Safari model, priced at a modest $25. This collectible model showcases a fitting tan paint motif, equipped with True Grip wheels, a tinted windshield, and a graphic decal from the Surf Riders Shop, complete with surfboards securely fastened atop a roof rack. The model comes packaged in a display case featuring a rocky terrain base that accentuates its off-road allure.

Enthusiasts will delight in the meticulous craftsmanship of these releases, boasting a level of detail that surpasses standard off-the-shelf toys. Whether in possession of an exclusive collectible or a well-loved toy from childhood, the simple pleasure of maneuvering these miniature marvels and mimicking engine roars on the floor is a universal delight.
