by New Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Model from Mattel Brick Shop
Although Lego traditionally dominates the construction set market, Mattel has created a worthy competitor. The Mattel Brick Shop division offers a wide range of sets, and their new product expands the Hot Wheels lineup with something special.
This is a replica of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 in 1:16 scale, designed for both young builders and adults who still appreciate the process of assembling parts.
Constructor Details and Package Contents
The set consists of 793 parts and accurately reproduces the overall shape and proportions of the real Vantage race car. The model is painted in the standard green color with lime green accents on the radiator grille and rearview mirrors.
The box also contains interchangeable wheel face discs and aerodynamic add-ons for the front splitter. Each kit also includes a small metal Vantage model in 1:64 scale, which can serve as inspiration during the meticulous search for the right part. Decals and race numbers are also included, adding authentic racing ambiance.
Design Features and Functionality
Often, large-scale car models that require self-assembly can look a bit odd, as it’s hard to reproduce the curves of a real car with square blocks. However, since Mattel’s creation includes several curved parts, the finished model looks great. Not only that, it also features intricate detailing under the hood, doors that can be opened, and even functional steering.
For racing and Aston Martin Vantage GT3 fans, this is pure wishlist material. Thanks to Mattel Brick Shop’s Hot Wheels line, we’re giving enthusiasts a new way to connect with the icon that is this Aston Martin model and bring it home in the form of a detailed, customizable construction set designed for building, displaying, and admiring.
Availability and Price
The Vantage GT3 set will be available at select retail stores worldwide, including Amazon, Target, and Mattel Creations, starting this summer for a price of $53.99.
This product illustrates the trend towards creating more complex and detailed construction sets aimed at adult audiences and collectors. It combines the thrill of building a model with the pleasure of owning a replica of a legendary race car, making the dream of an Aston Martin Vantage GT3 more accessible. Similar offerings expand the boundaries of traditional toys, turning them into hobby items and display pieces that retain value over time.
