Matchbox[edit]
So there's a bit of a complication here... Currently this page only covers Mattel's products under the Hot Wheels brand, but I came across this Matchbox truck made back in 1997:
(Don't ask what the difference between Hot Wheels and Matchbox is I don't think anyone knows)
Ideally, merchandise should be split off into articles for the company that made it (eventually I'd like to phase out the general merchandise galleries entirely if we can). So the question is, do we move this page and change the coverage to Mattel as a whole, create a separate Mattel page to cover any products that exist besides Hot Wheels*, or just leave everything as-is?
* - UNO Super Mario also falls under this distinction, along with a Mario Kart version and a ? Block Magic 8-Ball, neither of which we currently cover. There could be more, but that's all I found with a very quick search. So I do think there is a good case to be made for a general Mattel page, while leaving Hot Wheels split due to the amount of content here. --

- Yeah, I'd like to see how a Mattel page will look.

Separate Hot Wheels Mario Kart[edit]
Hot Wheels Mario Kart toys have become big enough for their own page. Each Monopoly edition gets its own page even though it shares most of its properties with other Monopoly editions, so I don't see why Hot Wheels Mario Kart wouldn't get their own page. It would also help to organize the content more clearly: distinguishing karts and karts with gliders while also documenting each type's waves and packs needs some space for organizing.
