Mattel Revolutionizes Collectibles: Pioneering with NFTs and Web3

Introducing Mattel: Pioneering the Future of Collectibles through NFTs

Mattel, a global leader in toy and collectible brand creation, including iconic franchises like Hot Wheels and Barbie, has revolutionized how Fortune 500 companies engage with customers through digital collectibles. Recognizing the immense potential of virtual collectibles to strengthen and expand its brand footprint, Mattel was the pioneering toy company to launch its digital collectibles on Rarible’s Flow blockchn platform.

Through projects such as Hot Wheels NFT Garage, Barbie's collaboration with Balmn, Cryptoys x Masters of the Universe, and Barbie x Boss Beauties, Mattel has been at the forefront of integrating virtual assets into their core brand strategy. The company sought an avenue to enable customers to easily buy, sell, trade virtual collectibles while also redeeming them for rare physical items or accessing token-gated drops of exclusive physical goods.

Magic stepped in as a critical partner. Magic provided Mattel's users with instant web3 wallets that streamlined the onboarding process without compromising user experience or security. By leveraging Magic's white-label wallet SDK, Mattel was able to build an intuitive and user-frily platform that transformed complex blockchn operations into familiar interactions for mnstream audiences.

The creation of a wallet often involves steps like managing seed phrases, downloading browser extensions or mobile applications, which could alienate potential customers who might not be tech-savvy.

Magic's instant web3 wallets facilitated a smooth transition by abstracting away the complexities associated with traditional crypto wallets.

In December 2022, the Hot Wheels NFT Garage Series 4 launched and sold out in less than 12 hours, with each pack priced at $25 and contning seven Hot Wheels NFTs of varying rarities. Then, in April 2023, Mattel introduced its peer-to-peer marketplace alongside Series 5 of the Hot Wheels NFT Garage which also sold out swiftly, underscoring the company's growing success in digital collectibles.

As Mattel continues to explore and expand in this new realm, driven by multi-millions in revenue from these pioneering drops, they are poised to lead future innovations for collectors and fans alike.
