So Much Fun and the Slime is a Bonus
on December 29, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy was an absolute winner with both of my children. Set up was easy and since the play element is relatively simple – place the car and slam the launcher – both my eight year old and three year old could play. I think the buttons that the car lands on after it launches need a little bit of play to loosen up a bit to work well. The button that caused the snake to “attack” worked like a charm, but it took a lot of play time for the button that caused the snake to “die” to actually trigger that function when hit by the car. After a few days of play that was working fine too. Really it’s delightful fun! And yes, I was being lame and hesitant about the slime aspect of the toy – I made the kids use that element on the kitchen floor only – but even mom and dad had to admit how ridiculously fun the slime was as it was dripping out of the snake’s mouth (plus it really did stay together all in one blob – I thought I’d have to clean the toy after use but there was no need). While not a necessary element for play, it did add lots of excitement, especially when the car got caught in it, and I appreciated the thought to have a little slot for the cup of slime to sit in during play. I would heed the age recommendation for the toy; while I let my three year old play with his brother under my supervision, little fingers can get pinched when resetting the snake each time it “dies” or “attacks.”
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed when this toy arrived. It's bigger than i expected. My son loved it. He loves cars and slime, so it was perfect for him. He's been playing with it everyday, it doesn't even get put away so he can play with it through out the day.

Great toys for boys

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my son because he loves anything hot wheels and I was not disappointed. Holds his attention for a long time, he loves launching the car and try to get through so the snake doesn't eat his car. Extra bonus the slime the set comes with is not sticky at all, its more like a goo so easy to clean up and doesnt make a huge mess all over the set or the cars. He loves putting the goo on the side to make his cars ride through the good car wash. Highly recommend this toy to keep your child entertained and easy clean up for mom who's kids love slime.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Slime has been banned from my house

from Springfield, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was provided this item in exchange for my honest customer review. The Snake Strike playset was really easy to put together but the snake itself feels very flimsy and easily breakable. It seems like you launch the cars and the snake can disperse slime onto your car. My children just took the slime and played with it, getting the bendy parts of the snake gunked up with it. After a few turns each my boys were done and onto the next thing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not our favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This looked very cool in its packaging. My 4 year old was excited to start playing with it. It was easy to put together, just a couple things to snap in place. When we launched the car it kept missing the yellow and red targets so nothing would happen. The slime aspect is fine but very messy. I would choose a different hot wheels set over this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from Mattel ShopBy mattel, December 26, 2020
It works best with regular 1:64 scale sports cars or sedans. Bulky or too heavy cars, such as vans, trucks or buses won’t work as well. If you’re still experiencing issues, please reach out to our team, and they’ll be more than to help! You can find all of our contact information here: https://service.mattel.com/us/ContactUs.aspx .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love everything that hot wheels releases! This one is really cool. Very eye catching and really fun. Kept my son interested all day. The slime is new to hot wheels but it's a very cool addition to the set.

Cool!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a really cool hot wheel track. My son loved the slime and how it would shoot out at the cars! Only issue the snake head sometimes doesn't want to stay in place but other than that great! He wants to add the others to his collection now especially the shark one!
