When were Hot Wheels made in Malaysia?
I've got a bunch of Hot Wheels from the '80s, and a lot of them say 'Made in Malaysia' on the bottom. So, yep, they've been cranking them out there since at least the early '80s.

Hot Wheels started producing some of their cars in Malaysia back in the late 1970s, early 1980s. They initially began manufacturing in the US but expanded production to include Malaysia to keep up with demand.
Late 70s, early 80s. But does it matter? The coolness of a Hot Wheel isn't decided by where it's made.
