Mattel is revving its creative engines this year — the company is continuing to grow the Hot Wheels brand with new products and themes.
The company builds on its previous collaboration with Formula 1 (F1), introduce a new collection titled Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Mutant Chaos, and launch a dinosaur-themed garage playset.

Starting this spring, kids and kids-at-heart can expand their F1 collections. The new F1-themed Hot Wheels line will include the Hot Wheels 5 Car Pack — Formula 1, featuring five die-cast race cars with graphics inspired by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, Oracle Red Bull Racing, BWT Alpine F1 Team, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team, and Williams Racing.
In the fall, collectors and F1 fans can purchase the Hot Wheels Formula 1 10 Pack, which includes 10 1:64-scale cars from each F1 team, and the Hot Wheels Racing Formula 1 Downhill Circuit Race, which includes three die-cast cars representing Mercedes, Haas, and Ferrari, along with the race track. The company also launches the Hot Wheels Formula 1 Assortment 2026 Mix 1, which includes 1:64-scale F1 race cars with metal bodies and chassis, plus Real Riders tires.

Mattel is also introducing its new Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Mutant Chaos collection this fall, which includes three products. The Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Mutant Chaos Monster Takedown set combines compounds with cars — it features a 1:64-scale Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Wreckin’ Wolf and 4-ounces of reusable slime, so little ones can crash through a wall of slime as they attempt to defeat the green monster.
Sensory play continues with the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Mutant Chaos Theme Cameo Playset. Kids can race their included Monster Truck through a wall of slime or around the slime-covered loop to reach the cup. The collection will also include the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Mutant Chaos Multipack, featuring an exclusive die-cast car and a container of slime.
Mattel is introducing a playset inspired by the new season of the Netflix series Hot Wheels Let’s Race, which will debut later this year. The Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage can store more than 50 vehicles, features a four-car elevator, and is adorned with a large T. rex. With several floors and Speed Snap compatibility, kids can build tracks around the garage.
“Hot Wheels is on fire. We continue to see growth across the entire franchise, driven by authentic storytelling and experiences, world-class toy product, and holistic franchise offerings,” says Ted Wu, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Vehicles at Mattel. “Our 2026 lineup will continue the momentum, from new F1 products and expanded experiences to the most epic Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage we’ve ever created. We can’t wait for our fans of all ages to experience the exciting year ahead.”
