Rocket League is getting a line of toy cars

Rocket League developer Psyonix has joined up with Zag Toys to release a series of 12 miniature toy cars from the game—or, to use the exact nomenclature: 'Original Minis™ Pull-Back Racers'. Snappy!

The first of the models will be Octane, Dominus, Masamune, Hotshot, Grog, X-Devil, Merc, and Backfire, and they'll all be cased in a rocket ball—which is actually a regular ball that Rocket League cars hit, not a ball with rockets.

A limited number of special edition cars will also include an exclusive in-game rocket trail and wheel design.

The cars will be out this spring. Check out a gif of one of the toys below, which also perfectly demonstrates about how well I actually play Rocket League.

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the rise of personal computers, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on the early PCs his parents brought home. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, Bushido Blade (yeah, he had Bleem!), and all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now. In 2006, Tyler wrote his first professional review of a videogame: Super Dragon Ball Z for the PS2. He thought it was OK. In 2011, he joined PC Gamer, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
