Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Color Changers FOUR Times the Fun
TRU Exclusive … Color Changer 2-Packs with BRUSH!
I do not know if if the CARS have been changed-upgraded with additional stickers or if this is prototype photo and the RELEASED 2-pack CARS will more closely match the current singles …
In addition to the McQueen-Chick Hicks 2-pack, the others scheduled are: Doc Hudson & Ramone, Sarge & Brand New Mater and Dinoco Lightning McQueen & Tex Dinoco.
The listing of Tex Dinoco as part of a 2-pack (only) might explain why he’s was no longer listed as a singles release …
Yes, these are ALL PLASTIC so they change color faster.
“Vehicle changes color with warm or icy cold water for double the fun!”
Or in the case of the TRU Exclusive – QUADRUPLE the FUN! Of course, fun is not a guarantee 🙂
More photos and SINGLES CHECKLIST in the original COLOR CHANGERS post.

They worked the first time and then would not work, out of frustration I put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes and oh wow they are working.
I have 4 cars and none of them change colors. My son is so dissappointed. We have the car wash, the cars worked for a day and now, they just stay at the primary color. What a waste of money.
If anyone can come up with a way to fix them let me know.,
(MET: Drop Mattel Cust Service a line by email or by phone – see what they say?)
these cars don’t work. Bought the playset and four caes and lighting mcqueen turned yellow in the car and never turned red again. Kinda scary when they are 6 bucks a piece. Now every car I bought is stuck with the color they would be in warm water. Very disapponting for me and the baby. Thanks a lot.
and yes I know it needs ice water. Tried it. No worky. I can read. So pls let me know if anyone has found a fix.
thanks
Take them back. I would. They don’t do what they are supposed to – get your money back.
Ours have worked just fine – Aiden has all 8 of them and we haven’t had a problem with any of them not changing to/from their colors.
Good luck !
I bought one for my son for Easter and he went right in to the bathroom and came back seconds later with a yellow lightning mcqueen. Don’t know if he used warm or cold water but he loved it. When we tried to get it to change back to red it wouldn’t. Not with warm or cold. Now he doesn’t like it much at all. You’re saying it’s supposed to change pretty quickly? And from yellow to red (original) I’m to use warm or icy cold? Don’t know if we have the package anymore and don’t know if Walmart will take it back without the package…
Now I saw this adorable color changing carwash thingie, maybe the cars are worth it LOL.
Saw these last night in person uggh. The photos on here awesome in person I didn’t really like them. For $5.46 for a plastic car really high.
I am thinking they will clearance before too long as there are 3 pegs full of them.
when you buy the 2 packs throw away the brush and put them in warm water and then cold water I did that to mine when I first bought them in single version.
Let me see if I get this right… Kids now take ICE COLD BATHS so they can play with a over price car? So when are they going to come out with the ones that come with a book of NON child proof matches and several strips of paper so the kids can make McQueen on Fire!
Nahhhh — Aiden takes a Tupperware bowl of cold tap water in there, puts it on the edge of the tub, and when he wants to switch colors, just dips them back into the cold water. Simple, simple. :o)
My boys love the color changers! They take a pitcher of ice water to the tub and race.
Our Target had about 50 color changers today on the pegs – about 7 or 8 pegs with color changers tags on them. Of course, we have the 4 already – nothing new was out there.
Aiden sometimes takes a bath just to play with those — he is usually a shower kid.
OH too awesome will have to see if they show up online.
I may have to build a water source into the outdoor garden racetrack LOL.
Lightning McQueen and Dinoco Chick Hicks look diecast.
Blech blech blech o and did i mention BLECH! 🙂
poo – poo.
No poo-poo in the tub, please! 🙂
why, why, why?? how about some more Final Laps!
Yeah! Final Laps should be everywhere other than Target.
got the singles at target last week, and they don’t even work. my son was so excited and then so disppointed. even tried leaving them in cold water overnight.
Try leaving them in your fridge. Water gets warm over time.
Or put them in warm water like I did. It works in warm water.
It has to be ICY water…so grab an ice cube and it will work!
Disney/Pixar/China Cars PRICES…Just like SUPERMAN (UP, UP, and WAY UP)….Hello 99 CENTS HOT WHEELS oh and some even with Rubber tires for the past 3 years at least!!!
Pass. TRU had the movie doubles, which lingered forever on the shelves, and still see them at TRU. These are definitely overpriced, but maybe will sell to parents.
Overpriced plastic garbage. My kids would probably like them, but not at the stupid price they’re trying to charge for them.
The top picture just has the normal releases in it. Thankfully all the stores that I shop at have been burned by the Look My Eyes Change that they only brought in a case of these. I think a lot of stores are going to be a little more cautious on their orders to see how well they sell before trucking in case after case. Now, you would think they would see that the Final Laps and new Mega Size don’t even last an hour on the shelfs…oy
Tex is actually out (as well as 3 others) in Case B:

I did not know that.
Don’t care for these at all….and at $8.99 plus tax a pop, there is no way in HELL I’d buy one even for fun!
I have to tell you about one of our Meijer stores that did a reset after Christmas.
EIGHT(8) new pegs are up, tagged and waiting for Color Changers!!!
(They cut back on MTT space to allow for these!)
This is one line that has saved us some money! Spend more for plastic cars than die-cast? Don’t think so.
Pass… don’t care for the single color changers… won’t spend more than double for 2 for a TRU exclusive…
Where are the next Pit-Row Race-Off launchers?
Maybe fun for the bathtub?
That is exactly what Zach has done with the 2 he has! He is always wanting to take his Cars in the tub with him, and i wont let him because i dont want them to get ruined, but these he takes in and LOVES it!! 🙂
ours are in the tub too….I cringe at the thought of the real thing in the bath…. eek!
Better the bath than the toilet!
Yeap…my son loves this for playing in the tub..keeps him more “soaking” for a little bit longer.. 😛
