Hot Wheels are listing a small die-cast model of the Mars Rover Perseverance in their 2021 range, as part of a Space sub-set. This looks as though it is a re-issue of the earlier Curiosity model. But as I have not seen this model yet, I can not say for certain. The model looks to be much more solid than the real thing, as it has to survive Earth gravity.

HW are always first off the mark Paul. I wonder if anyone will make a toy version of the fabulous Space Crane that lowers the rover to the surface?
