Description[]
The MBK Van is an unlicensed Hot Wheels van casting that loosely resembles that of Japanese-style vans. The van features two rows of bucket seats arranged three abreast, with an elephant situated in one of the passenger seats; the casting itself is a homage to Hot Wheels' Thailand plant team, with the elephant situated inside to pay homage to Thailand's national animal. The casting was intended to represent one of a number of lowered vans which would transport Mattel employees around; "MBK" is a reference to Mattel's Thailand plant, Mattel Bangkok.
