Rally star Ken Block gets Hot Wheels line

Rally driver Ken Block isn't the only one who gets to play around with his Monster/Ford Racing rally car.

In time for the holidays, Mattel has created a special line of Hot Wheels toys based on Block's Ford Fiesta race car.

"This is a dream come true. I never actually thought I'd have my own line of Hot Wheels cars," Block said.

The line includes the traditional 1/64-scale die-cast car and two remote-controlled cars--the Nitro Speedsters Ford Fiesta, with a self-contained controller and racer unit, for $26, and the R/C Fiesta Stunt Car, with a scale speed of 0-to-80 mph in two seconds. This runs $45.

The Ken Block Hot Wheels lineup is available at Toys "R" Us, Walmart, Target, Kmart and Pep Boys.
