Following the success of their Hot Wheels collaborations, Mattel and Tesla have teamed up for the first-ever buildable Cybertruck model.

The MEGA x Cybertruck features more than 3,000 pieces and includes authentic details, like the sharp-angled exoskeleton, adjustable air suspension, functional tonneau cover, a folding tailgate, and armor glass windows. The build also includes Easter eggs, such as a Tesla mug and optional stickers to replicate the infamous broken windows from Tesla founder Elon Musk’s baseball mishap at the 2019 Cybertruck unveiling.

The $250 MEGA x Cybertruck launches Oct. 15 on Mattel’s direct-to-consumer (D2C) platform, Mattel Creations.
