Get a Mars Rover of Your Own–Sort of–With This Hot Wheels Toy - bouchertwor1982
On Friday, we looked at a Lego model of NASA's Curiosty roamer on Lego Cuusoo. It's cool, but it's also not available for sale (though you keister make your own if you want), If you're looking something you can go proscribed and past, though, Mattel has something for you.
Mattel is gearing raised to deal its precise own die-cast replica of Curiosity American Samoa part of its Fast Wheels auto line. The new toy, which is the number 1 NASA mission since 1999 to be made into a Hot Wheels toy, comes in at a 1:64 descale of the original NASA robot. It measures 2 inches aware by 1.5 inches high by 1.25 inches astray.
As you might expect, the low cost Hot Wheels interpretation of the Curiosity Rover isn't a perfect replica of the $2.5 billion real-deal. The fiddle lacks the ballistic capsule's crane and chute, but the sextet-wheel unclean does have the motor, drill and camera detailed in its cast.
Although NASA's rover successfully touched down on the ruby-red planet earlier this week, Mattel's Hot Wheels version of the Oddity machine, expected to be priced just o'er a clam, won't be parachuting into stores until September.
If you can't expect until next calendar month for just about Mars-based amusement, you can alwaysbuild the aforementioned Lego model, or get a free game that simulates the landing place on Xbox Live.
