Matchbox – The Realistic Miniatures That Took Over the World

Matchbox is a legendary brand of miniature cars, first introduced in 1953 by Lesney Products. Unlike the more fantasy-inspired Hot Wheels, Matchbox focuses on the accurate reproduction of real-life vehicles, from classic and modern cars to fire trucks, buses, motorcycles, and construction vehicles.

The brand’s name comes from its original concept: small cars designed to fit inside a matchbox, making them highly portable and irresistible to kids. Since its acquisition by Mattel in 1997, Matchbox has continued producing highly detailed models, loved by both collectors and fans of realistic vehicles. With its commitment to authenticity and precision, Matchbox remains a leading name in the miniature car industry.
