The new Honda collection includes the Custom ’90 Honda Civic EF and ’07 Honda S2000, designed for adult collectors, car enthusiasts and building fans
Two new Mattel Brick Shop Hot Wheels building sets aimed at the kidult market are heading to shelves in collaboration with Honda.
The new Honda collection includes the Custom ’90 Honda Civic EF and the ’07 Honda S2000, both authentically recreated in buildable 1:32 scale. Designed for adult collectors, car enthusiasts and building fans alike, the sets celebrate Japanese automotive performance and ’90s tuning culture through highly detailed builds, real metal parts and customisation options.
“Mattel Brick Shop continues to expand how adult fans and collectors interact with legendary vehicles,” said Ted Wu, Global Head of Vehicles and Building Sets at Mattel. “The Honda Civic EF and S2000 are true icons of Japanese performance culture, and through Hot Wheels and Mattel Brick Shop, builders can now celebrate these vehicles by recreating them with their own customisation to display on their shelves.”
To mark the debut of Honda within Mattel Brick Shop, the builds were showcased alongside full-size vehicles, highlighting their accuracy and true-to-scale detailing—from recognisable body shapes to headlights, window elements and exterior lines. The ’07 Honda S2000 also features an authentic windshield and spoiler, faithfully mirroring the real-world design.
Both the Custom ’90 Honda Civic EF and the ’07 Honda S2000 feature opening doors that reflect the functional access points of the full-size cars, while interchangeable wheel covers and custom decal sheets echo the real vehicles’ wheel options and customisation culture. Finished with a Hot Wheels signature metal plate and an exclusive matching 1:64 scale die-cast car, each set reinforces the connection between the buildable models and the Honda icons that inspired them.
Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile at Honda Motor Europe – UK, said: “Seeing icons like the Civic EF and S2000 reimagined through Mattel Brick Shop gives fans a new, hands-on way to engage with the engineering and spirit that define the Honda brand.”
