ORIGINAL: As you can see from the gallery of images below, Hot Wheels recreation of the classic Monopoly race car token, complete with a 90th anniversary logo. It’s designed to look “just as at home on the game board as it does speeding around a Hot Wheels track”.
Hot Wheels Pass ‘N Go Launches On November 1st
Mattel and Hasbro have joined forces in recent years on some strategic crossover collaborations, though this is the purest example of their partnership to date in our opinion. Plus, the $1.25 price point means that even casual fans will be interested in picking one up. It’s all very nice to see.
That said, the Hot Wheels Pass ‘N Go die-cast car is launching on November 1st, and it is expected to be available at retailers like Amazon and Walmart at some point during the day. Hopefully, they made a ton of them because, as noted, it will appeal to more than just collectors given that it costs about as much as a pack of gum.
Brian Baker, SVP of Board Games, NERF and PLAY-DOH at Hasbro: “For 90 years, MONOPOLY fans have raced around the board, collected $200, and dreamed of landing on Boardwalk first. Now, thanks to Hot Wheels, our iconic Race Car token is hitting the fast lane. The Hot Wheels Pass ‘N Go collectible is a mash-up of speed, strategy, and fun that brings together two legendary play experiences for fans of every generation.”
