Sally with Cone shows the dedication of Martin A. & his team at Mattel to getting it right.

It seems simple enough – it’s an older release, just glue a traffic cone on her head and slap a new label on it … maybe other diecast companies do this or maybe even other divisions at Mattel but not the CARS group led by Martin.

It’s not just a traffic cone on her heard, it’s actually a new expression and a new mold (she’s also a two-piecer now for more expressions). Note the more defined lines around the windshield and even a better paint with more luminosity … and we get the eyes changed to match the new expression. Nothing  just “slapped” together.

Or a place most people aren’t going to look? The base plate … nicely detailed … and not a slab of plastic …

Of course, this is a Mattel tradition but the details add up …

And of course, matching the scene – spoiler up …

And a peek under the spoiler? Für nur erwachsene!

So, not just Sally with Cone but really – newly sculpted Sally with all the details and a cone … nice.

But that’s why we’re here …
