Mattel Brick Shop Unveils Hot Wheels Honda Sets in the UK
Mattel, Inc., a leading global toy and family entertainment company with one of the world’s most iconic brand portfolios, has launched two new Mattel Brick Shop™ Hot Wheels® Honda building sets. The release expands the Mattel Brick Shop Speed Series™ and adds two Japanese performance icons to the range.
The Mattel Brick Shop Hot Wheels Honda building sets include the Custom ’90 Honda Civic EF and the ’07 Honda S2000, which Mattel recreates in buildable 1:32 scale. Mattel designed the sets for adult collectors, car enthusiasts, and building fans who want detailed builds, genuine metal parts, and customisation options. The models celebrate Japanese automotive performance and ’90s tuning culture through authentic styling and display-ready finishes.
Mattel marked Honda’s debut in Mattel Brick Shop by showcasing the builds alongside full-size vehicles. The display highlighted true-to-scale detailing, including recognisable body shapes, headlights, window elements, and clean exterior lines. The ’07 Honda S2000 also includes an authentic windshield and spoiler that mirror the real-world design.
Both the Custom ’90 Honda Civic EF model and the ’07 Honda S2000 model include opening doors that match the access points on the full-size cars. Each set also includes interchangeable wheel covers and custom decal sheets that reflect real wheel options and the broader customisation culture. Every set features a Hot Wheels signature metal plate and an exclusive matching 1:64 scale die-cast car to strengthen the link between the build and the Honda icon that inspired it.
“Mattel Brick Shop continues to expand how adult fans and collectors interact with legendary vehicles,” said Ted Wu, Global Head of Vehicles and Building Sets at Mattel. “The Honda Civic EF and S2000 are true icons of Japanese performance culture, and through Hot Wheels and Mattel Brick Shop, builders can now celebrate these vehicles by recreating them with their own customisation to display on their shelves.”
“Honda vehicles have long been celebrated for their performance, design and connection to car culture around the world,” said Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile at Honda Motor Europe UK. “Seeing icons like the Civic EF and S2000 reimagined through Mattel Brick Shop gives fans a new, hands-on way to engage with the engineering and spirit that define the Honda brand.”
Select retailers in the UK, including Amazon, Smyths and The Entertainer, will stock the Mattel Brick Shop Hot Wheels Honda sets, and Mattel will also offer them globally. Building fans can follow the latest updates on the Mattel Brick Shop website.
Mattel Brick Shop™ Hot Wheels® Custom ’90 Honda Civic EF is part of the Speed Series™ at 1:32 scale and is suitable for ages 10+ with an RRP of £21.99. Mattel recreates this icon of ’90s tuning culture with 248 pieces, opening doors, authentic window elements, and detailed headlights. Builders can personalise the set with a custom decal sheet and two sets of wheel covers, and they also get an exclusive matching 1:64 scale metal car plus a Hot Wheels signature metal plate, which first appears with Mattel Brick Shop sets.
