FUNBOY releases new collab with Hot Wheels for *hot* pool floats

When someone asks you to see your brand-new whip, you can now simply escort them to your pool.

Leave it to FUNBOY to release another iconic collaboration that’s making us want to open our pools and dive right into summer. Hot off the press is the beloved brand’s newest collaboration with Mattel: FUNBOY x Hot Wheels.

Yes, the Mattel marketing team doesn’t sleep, as evidenced by 2023’s rise of Barbie. Now, the chic and aesthetic-leaning summertime brand is cruising into cheerier temperatures with its collection of pool floats modeled by our childhood classic four-wheel drives.

Featuring five new items with vibrant flames and checkered prints, this collection was inspired by vintage Hot Wheels diecast cars throughout the brand’s storied decades, according to the brand.

The iconic Sharkcruiser float that’s clad with an integrated water squirter pays homage to the classic Hot Wheel car that originally debuted in 1987. Meanwhile, the Checkered Flame Backyard Bowling set extends the fun beyond the pool, an outdoor toy with inflatable pins and a giant inflatable bowling ball to accentuate pool-time fun during all of your summer bashes.

With all products geared for 8-year-olds and up, it’s the ultimate, limited-time assortment to get your hands on now. Here at Post Wanted, we anticipate this *hot* new launch to sell out quickly. Because, let’s face it, the entire drop is actually quite cool.
