Mattel and Paramount Feel the Need for Speed

Toymaker Mattel has inked a global deal with Paramount Pictures to produce a line of diecast toys, aircraft, playsets and other pertinent products based upon the upcoming film, Top Gun: Maverick. The agreement also covers the original film, Top Gun, which came out in the mid 1980s.

According to NBC, which broke the news back on July 26th, the line will be available ahead of the film’s debut, which is currently set for June 26th, 2020. Its not clear if this is an exclusive agreement, thereby shutting out TSM Model Wings from making or selling any Top Gun-related diecast products. TSM has held a licensing deal with Paramount for some time and, as of last week, still maintains that they will be producing a range of diecast aircraft based upon both films.
