Originally, Matchbox were just little toy cars, but Hot Wheels were designed to be fast, and they raced on a track. I don’t know if Matchbox has changed any since the 1970s, though.
Edit: Though Matchbox did come out first, Hot Wheels came out in the late 1960s — McDonalds happy meals don’t really have anything to do with their success.
The brand. Matchbox cars came out first. They were considered collectors Items. Hotwheels was smart and contracted with McDonalds to be happy meal toys, a move that made them collectibles and got them a lot of publicity.
