About this deal

I would assume it also means you can dream bigger because it shows people want to see their toys come to life. Then I know we haven't gotten to it, but the finale is phenomenal. So all the cars—and I won't spoil anything—but the cars there are…it's really worthy of a finale. I think everything is jiving at that point, and I feel like it's sort of like next level with those car builds. So, I think throughout the decades, that sort of sensibility has remained true. Like, what is going on in not just now car culture, but pop culture and culture in general? And how do we reflect that with what we're doing in terms of automotive design? And so whether now that's, you know, really hopping in on trends, whether it be JDM cars or whether it be electric vehicles or supercars, or whatever, I think we're always cognizant of what's hot. What's going on and trending? And then with how we react to things in pop culture, we've got vehicles, and obviously, we work with movie studios and content creators, and we've got cars that have all types of Disney characters on them. That's part of the secret sauce as well. So, all that to say, I think it's really about having a finger on the pulse of what's trending and what's making waves in culture so that we can reflect that and hopefully also drive that forward.

Excellent. I know I hit Ted with the in-depth question about multiple years of work somewhere, but I had a similar question for you, Phil. You have this really rich history of involvement in a lot of childhood memories, both at Mattel now, but also at Disney, developing shows. I often think about those shows and how they brought us so much talent – people like Zendaya. When you're looking at creating scripted television, have you thought about how with the new talents you bring into this, this could be the start of a huge global career for them, and how you have that involvement in fostering these amazing talents?

Well, if it's any of the Ken vehicles, I'm very here for that because the Ken vehicles are what I'm looking for! For 2023, the Hot Wheels mainline is numbered 1 through 250 with color variations not receiving a new number. Treasure Hunts and store exclusives are numbered. For the listing by series see List of 2023 Hot Wheels (by Series).The sports car was originally designed by Judy Choi, a designer in Mattel's Barbie division; Kevin Cao later took the design and recreated it in various scales, including this model. The hood opens to act as a fashion closet and storage cubby while the rear portion where the engine would be is a miniature swimming pool for a pet. The life-sized car features rainbow-colored five-spoke rims, a holographic glittery finish and synthetic fuzz on the seat headrests. For its size the casting is notably very heavy with a centered weight distribution. But yeah, we worked with our partners across the aisle in Barbie. That's one of a few different diecast cars we have from the Barbie world, as well as we've got some– I'm pausing because I'm wondering if, actually, what I'm talking about is out yet, and it might not be. But we are working very closely with our friends over in Barbie, and you may see some fun things soon. Very good, very good. Phil, I am curious, with the craze of Barbie this weekend, is that changing how you're approaching both scripted and unscripted television that you're developing? Has it changed anything?

WU: Yeah, so the pink Corvette, the one that's in the actual movie, we do have a Hot Wheels version of that. So yeah, absolutely, that was us, and that was our team. The funny thing about that car is, in the movie, the car is, as you can tell, it's scaled down because it's a Barbie-size vehicle. It is a Corvette ‘59, but it's scaled down so she looks larger in it. So we took that into account when we made the 1:64 scale Hot Wheels.

Obviously, we're living in a world [where] viewers have a million choices to go through, and then a million others that they could dig for. So for us, we really have to find ways to stand out, and the way we're gonna stand out is to connect with them on a level that no one else can. And whether that's scripted or unscripted, our approach is really just to try to do it in the same way that– We need to remember that we're a toy company, right? And what we're basing our concepts on are our toys. So how do you make that appealing to both kids and adults so that it's a family event rather than, “Oh, this is just a kid show,” you know? That's not what we do. For us, it's about, you know, in the same way that Mattel appeals across the board for people, for adults and kids. And we want to do the same thing with our programming. If there is any change that we've made, and specific to live-action, is the fact that we're really going after the entire family because we want it to be something that the whole family can sit down for and enjoy together. Grab your swimsuit and jump into this Barbie ® Extra dream car! Ride top down in style, and dip into the pool on those extra hot days.
