A new series of 12 vehicles released in 2020 exclusively for Target in the USA. Each vehicle in the range was reminiscent of the early days of Matchbox and some even have tampo designs harking back to those very same days.
There was also a matching playset with a ”Matchbox Originals” vehicle included.
