Hot Wheels Action Pack NASA Lot – John Glenn & JPL Mars Rover (1998, Sealed)

Offered here is a vintage Hot Wheels Action Pack NASA-themed lot, featuring two factory-sealed releases from the late 1990s that celebrate American space exploration. Both items are original Mattel products and remain unopened in their original packaging.

The first set is the JPL Sojourner Mars Rover Action Pack, depicting NASA’s historic Mars Pathfinder mission. This pack includes the Sojourner rover, lander components, and support equipment, all rendered in micro-scale detail against a Mars landscape cardback. The packaging prominently features “Rover Mission to Mars!” artwork and official JPL/NASA references.

The second set is the John Glenn: Great American Hero Action Pack, commemorating Glenn’s legacy as both an astronaut and U.S. Senator. The set includes a Space Shuttle, booster, astronaut figure, and display base, with card art referencing Glenn’s historic 1962 orbital flight and his 1998 return to space aboard STS-95.

Together, these sealed Action Packs represent a compelling crossover of Hot Wheels, NASA history, and late-1990s collectible design.
