Hence, we buy laptops instead of desktops, MP3 players instead of boomboxes and chihuahuas instead of great danes. Or something like that. As such, it&#8217;s not terribly surprising to see the World&#8217;s First Foldable R\/C Car, made by the toy-crazy folks at Mattel.<\/p>\n<p>As the company behind the classic Hot Wheels series of toy cars and trucks, Mattel has more than a little experience miniaturizing four-wheelers. This time, though, the vehicles are as small as a credit card and about as thin as a cell phone. In other words, small enough to fit in a kid&#8217;s pocket. One button press is all it takes for the car to unfold itself into a fully functional remote control car.<\/p>\n<p>Called Stealth Rides, these toys are scheduled to debut in February at the Toy Fair in New York in five different models, one of which is a Batmobile Tumbler. One full battery charge is said to power the toy for up to 30 minutes of play time, though we don&#8217;t yet know how long that charge will take. Sales will begin in August and each machine will cost about $25.00, says Mattel. Yep, that&#8217;s just in time for the Christmas season, naturally.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2010\/01\/25\/news\/companies\/mattel_hot_wheels_flat_cars\/index.htm\">CNNMoney.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/29\/pocketable-play-time-mattel-stealth-rides-are-worlds-first-fol\/\">Pocketable Play Time: Mattel Stealth Rides are World&#8217;s First Foldable R\/C Cars<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 29 Jan 2010 08:00:00 EST.
