The Hot Wheels Unleashed Design Battle is taking place and if you win, your design will featured on a Hot Wheels Rodger Dodger die-cast model and sold across the world.
The competition has been launched on the toy's video game and to beat the competition, you'll need to create the most attractive and impressive paint job using the livery editor within the game.
The design is for the Rodger Dodger model and will be judged by a panel of Mattel’s world-class designers, including Ted Wu, VP and global head of vehicle design, Bryan Benedict, director of product design, Dmitriy Shakhmatov, manager of product design, and Jerry Thienprasiddhi, the company’s principal graphic designer.
Mattel has got a few digital artists on board to provide a little inspiration too, using the livery editor in the video game to design a pair of pop-art liveries for the car.
