Matchbox Launches New Mercedes-Benz Die-Cast Car to Celebrate the Reveal of the All-New Electric G-Class - Seite 2

“We are very pleased that our all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, the electric model of our off-road icon, is making its way into the versatile model range of Matchbox cars. We are convinced that it will find its way to many enthusiasts — even outside the G-Fans community,” said Michael Knöller, Head of the Off-Road Vehicles division and CEO of Mercedes-Benz G GmbH.

Later in the year, the Matchbox Mercedes-Benz all-new electric G-Class die-cast car will also be available in Matchbox’s Moving Parts Series, which features a MANUFAKTUR classic grey non-metallic and movable doors that provide added authenticity, realism, and drive storytelling. All Moving Parts vehicles are made using recycled metal and a minimum of 51% ISCC-certified plastic (mass balance approach*).

The Matchbox Mercedes-Benz all-new electric G-Class premium version will be available in limited quantities exclusively at MattelCreations.com for $29.99 SRP on April 30. The Matchbox Mercedes-Benz all-new electric G-Class die-cast Moving Parts Series will be available at retailers nationwide this fall for $2.99 SRP.
