Editor's Review

Take on the action of Matchbox The Movie with the Mountain Helicopter Escape set, inspired by the upcoming movie. At 22 inches tall, this recreates a mountain scene with winding roads, treacherous jumps, and a moving helicopter that the cars must avoid. The set includes two 1:64-scale Matchbox cars and a helicopter. Adult assembly is required. The helicopter will start spinning around the set once you pull back slightly on the handle, and when you pull the lever all the way back, your cars will launch down the mountain. Can the cars get to the bottom of the mountain or will they crash into the helicopter? There are also gaps for the cars to jump over, and the first car to the bottom triggers the bridge to fall out, adding even more action and obstacles to the high-speed race.
