Toy News: Hot Wheels Races on to TV Screens - Aug. 29

Beginning Saturday, August 29, boys’ favorite die-cast car – Hot Wheels – will be racing on to TV screens across the country with the debut of the new high-octane animated series Hot Wheels Battle Force 5.


This eye-catching CGI animated show follows an elite team of teenage drivers - the Battle Force 5 - and their super-cool, ultra-fast vehicles as they hit hyper speeds to break into inter-dimensional battle zones. Here, their rides become armored machines designed to help them defeat the barbaric predators, The Vandals, and the sinister robotic armies of The Sark. These enemies will stop at nothing to capture the battle zones and break through the portals that lead to Earth!

To bring the extreme action, speed and excitement to life, Hot Wheels has created a line of products based on the Battle Force 5 series. Ultra-cool action-figures and transforming battle vehicles allow kids to recreate the show’s crash-and-bash scenes, just like their favorite Battle Force 5 characters. At an affordable price point ($2.99 to $24.99), these products are sure to keep boys entertained throughout the fall while inspiring their imagination.
