According to Bernama, Mattel Inc’s president and chief commercial officer, Steve Totzke, said the partnership is done to commemorate Mattel’s 40th anniversary in Malaysia.
This is an exciting partnership as we join to develop a Hot Wheels car, modelled after the original Proton Saga, the first model manufactured by Proton, which will now become a part of Hot Wheels’ singles collection.
