Matchbox

Matchbox is the brand name of a line of die-cast vehicles originally produced by Lesney Products in the United Kingdom. Mattel acquired the name after purchasing the former parent company, TYCO Toys. Hot Wheels has shared many 1/64 toolings, track parts, and wheel types with the brand since 1997. Many sets from the "Action Drivers" series are compatible with the Hot Wheels City system. Some models like Circle Tracker have versions with graphics that featured the logo. The ORCT, CT, MC1, Micro5SP, and MJW wheel types have also been used on Matchbox models.
