Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hot Wheels® with a dynamic set of stamps honoring one of the world’s most iconic toy car brands.

This commemorative issue features ten beloved Hot Wheels cars racing down the brand’s signature orange track. The designs include Purple Passion, Rocket-Bye-Baby, Rigor Motor, Rodger Dodger, Mach Speeder, Twin Mill, Bone Shaker, HW40, Deora II, and Sharkruiser — each capturing the speed, style, and thrill of the legendary miniature racers.

Among the standouts is the Rodger Dodger, inspired by the 1973 Dodge Charger SE. First introduced in 1974, its bold styling, oversized engine, and flame accents embody the excitement of street racing culture. The rare blue edition — with only seven known to exist — remains one of the most sought-after treasures in the Hot Wheels collector community, a true “Holy Grail” that continues to inspire passion and high-stakes searches decades later.
