Two movie milestones are being celebrated in 2025: Back to the Future’s 40th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Jaws. To mark the occasion, Mattel is releasing new Hot Wheels collectible sets for each film at San Diego Comic-Con this July. The company shared the news on Monday that the products are rolling out under its Nostalgic Film Favorites line.
«These movies have left an indelible mark on pop culture. We worked closely with our creative teams to make sure every detail celebrates the spirit of these iconic moments,» said Nick Karamanos, senior vice president of Mattel Creations & Entertainment Partnerships. «It is magical to watch our fans connect with the stories they grew up with, and we’re proud to bring that magic to life through our collectibles.»
Pull up to the Twin Pines Mall with a miniature Hot Wheels version of Doc Brown’s van and the illustrious DeLorean. Designed to capture one of the most famous scenes in the 1985 film, the set retails for $32 and comes packaged in a themed box featuring both vehicles. Below is a close-up peek at the time-traveling Hot Wheels car (smoke effect not included).
Jaws, which came out in 1975, has been immortalized as a replica of the shark and Captain Quint’s too-small Orca boat. In this case, you won’t need a bigger one. Leaning into its classic ’70s aesthetic, Hot Wheels gave this set a vintage feel and built ocean waves into the toy’s scene. Its retail price is also $32.
Fans will be able to purchase the sets at Mattel’s Comic-Con booth or via MattelCreations.com when they launch during the event, which kicks off on July 24. The toy giant also revealed its Girl Power lineup for Comic-Con, which will feature exclusive collectibles for Monster High and a Hot Wheels drop for Mario Kart Pauline.
