Today, we received the media release from Canadian International AutoShow (CIAS) that Mattel will be returning to the Canadian International AutoShow for 2025, ushering in a roar of excitement as they celebrate the 50th anniversary of the legendary Bigfoot® Monster Truck at the Hot Wheels® booth, the vehicle that sparked the global monster truck phenomenon. In addition to Bigfoot®, Mattel will showcase two vehicles from the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends™, the 2016 Star Wars X-Wing Fighter™ Carship and 2005 Ford SEMA Mustang GT, both making their AutoShow debut.
“It’s great to have Mattel back at the Canadian International AutoShow,” says Jason Campbell, General Manager of the AutoShow. “The Hot Wheels brand has been a staple of the automotive industry for decades, and each year they bring new excitement and innovation to the show. The 50th anniversary of Bigfoot® is an amazing milestone and we can’t wait for attendees to experience the thrill and nostalgia that this imposing and iconic vehicle invokes.”
The Hot Wheels Bigfoot® Monster Truck exhibit offers fun for the whole family. For the first time, the iconic Bigfoot® Monster Truck will be on display at the AutoShow to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The Bigfoot® Monster Truck is the first-ever outrageously designed and epically sized truck of its kind. Towering over the audience at 10 feet tall, 12 feet wide, and 20 feet long, the truck is supported by eight custom nitrogen-charged shocks on 66-inch Firestone tires. With a monstrous 1,400 horsepower engine and weighing in at 11,000 pounds (4,989 kg), Bigfoot® is built to crush any obstacle in its path. You can even commemorate the experience by taking a photo with a life-size monster truck tire!
There is also something special for both young and young at heart collectors. On Friday, February 14, from 6 to 9 p.m., there will be a Collector’s Event which includes a signing by Bryan Benedict, Key Principal Designer, Hot Wheels. This meet-up will facilitate the opportunity for Hot Wheels® collectors to connect with each other to share their love of cars. It’s our fourth year hosting this event, and one that we feel especially passionate about bringing to the show.
The Hot Wheels exhibits will be located at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre during the 2025 Canadian International AutoShow. The Hot Wheels Garage of Legends and Walmart pop-up store are located on the 100 Level of the North Building, and the Hot Wheels Bigfoot® Monster Truck exhibit is located on the 800 Level of the South Building.
