The Story Behind Hot Wheels Monster Trucks

Hot Wheels Monster Trucks kicked off in 2018 after the Monster Jam line wrapped up when Spin Master snagged that license. Unlike the old days, these trucks are either original creations or real-world beasts like Bone Shaker and Bigfoot, built for the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live tour. I love how Mattel carved out a fresh vibe, mixing pure imagination with the raw energy of monster truck madness.

Every year, Hot Wheels pumps out dozens of 1:64-scale trucks, usually with crushable or connectable cars designed by folks like Brendon Vetuskey. From 2019 to 2024, those cars, think Time Attaxi or Dawgzilla, popped in bright reds, oranges, and blues, thanks to designer Jeremy Cox. These trucks are tough, with big tires and die-cast bodies ready for epic crashes and stunts.

The Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live tour, which started in 2018, brings these toys to life. Real versions of trucks like Bone Shaker and Tiger Shark crush it at events, and the Glow-N-Fire shows, running through 2025, keep families hyped with wild stunts and fun vibes.

The Rarest Hot Wheels Monster Truck

As a collector, nothing beats the thrill of tracking down a super-rare Hot Wheels Monster Truck. The 2016 Madusa Farewell Tour Truck from the old Monster Jam line is the holy grail. Made in tiny numbers to honor the iconic Monster Jam driver Madusa, this truck is crazy hard to find and sells for big bucks at auctions.

Other rare ones I’ve got my eye on include:

• Skate-A-Zoid (Canadian Exclusive): Only at West 49 stores in three colors, good luck finding one.
• Xtermigator: Sold globally but not in the U.S., so it’s a pain for us American collectors.
• World Finals 10 Commemorative Truck: Just 1,000 made, making it a true unicorn.
• Pink Medusa X-Ray and Purple Grave Digger 30th Anniversary: Fans on Reddit rave about these for their unique colors and limited runs.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Hot Wheels Monster Trucks are all about big wheels, big characters, and bigger fun. Some are in it for the collection, some love the crashes, and others just like seeing them lined up on a shelf. However you enjoy them, there’s always a new truck to discover, a new design to chase, and a new memory to make.
