Licensing
Mattel's Hot Wheels brand produces officially licensed toy versions of monster trucks under the Monster Jam name. They also sponsored a monster truck, which competed in the series in previous years. However in 2008, the Hot Wheels truck was not on the circuit, replaced in the line up by Donkey Kong. But then in late 2011, Monster Jam announced a new Hot Wheels truck. The current driver of it is Dan Evans, and at the 2012 World Finals, Neil Elliot drove it in his Maximum Destruction chassis.
Four officially licensed Monster Jam video games have been produced. The first two, Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction, a vehicular combat game, and Monster 4x4: Masters of Metal, an arcade racing game, were published by Ubisoft. The third, titled simply Monster Jam, was released by Activision on November 13, 2007, and a sequel to it called Monster Jam: Urban Assault was released on October 28, 2008. There is now a 5th Monster Jam game called: Monster Jam: Path of Destruction containing favorites such as: Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction, Grinder, Madusa, and Bounty Hunter. It has realistic stadiums and intros with pyrotechnics and roaring fans. You will also be able to create and customize a truck with over 1000 parts. This game was released on November 9, 2010 and since then has had mixed reviews about the game.
