As reported by Mattel
Toronto - Hot Wheels(R) is thrilled to announce the launch of the Hot Wheels(R) Colour Shifters(TM) Road Trip across Canada this summer. The life-size Hot Wheels(R) colour-shifting Ford Mustang and the Hot Wheels(R) Colour Shifters(TM) Trailer will zoom across the country visiting over 50 festivals, camps and family events in various towns and cities. The Road Trip runs all summer long from July to September, giving Canadians of all ages a chance to change the colour of the car themselves. Hot Wheels(R) Colour Shifters(TM) cars use thermochromatic paint - a revolutionary colour memory technology that creates multi-coloured changes - adding a new element of excitement and surprise to the classic Hot Wheels(R) car.
The Hot Wheels(R) Colour Shifters(TM) Road Trip kicks off in Toronto on Tuesday, June 29th - the last day of school - at Yonge and Dundas Square from 6 a.m. to noon. The public is invited to get a sneak peek at the Hot Wheels(R) Colour Shifters(TM) Mustang. Kids who attend the launch event and Road Trip stops can change the colour of the car, play with Hot Wheels(R) Colour Shifters(TM) toys and will also receive a special Hot Wheels(R) collector booklet, T-shirt and more.
"We are very excited for Canada to see the super cool life-size Hot Wheels(R) Colour Shifters(TM) Mustang in their town or city," says Melissa Chau, Hot Wheels(R) Assistant Brand Manager for Mattel Canada. "These little cars have had a big impact on children and adults alike and it's great to showcase the Hot Wheels(R) brand on the grassroots level and remind Canadians why generations have grown up playing with, trading and collecting Hot Wheels(R)".
