ksanchez+FollowHot Wheels NFTs: Mattel Hits PauseMattel just put the brakes on new Hot Wheels NFT drops—no fresh releases for now! If you’ve been collecting those digital cars, don’t worry: the marketplace and your collection portal are sticking around through at least 2025, and all promised redemptions (like that Batmobile!) will be honored. Mattel says they’re rethinking their whole digital collectibles game, so stay tuned for what’s next. Are NFTs just a passing fad, or is something bigger coming? #HotWheels #NFTs #Mattel #DigitalCollectibles #Web3 #Cars00Share
Edward Wallace+FollowWhy Barbie Might Cost More SoonHeads up, toy shoppers: Mattel (the company behind Barbie and Hot Wheels) just said prices are going up in the U.S. thanks to the ongoing trade war with China. Tariffs are making it pricier to make and import toys, so Mattel’s passing some of that cost to us. They’re also moving more production out of China and cutting back on deals and promos. If you’ve got birthdays or holidays coming up, you might want to grab those toys sooner rather than later! #ToyPrices #Barbie #MoneyHacks #Tariffs #Mattel #Business34Share
