“A new Disney•Pixar “Cars Toons” short will premiere FRIDAY, JULY 30 (9:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.

(Yep – his ‘dreadlocks’ are all rubber-vinyl and floopy & floppy).
“In the episode entitled “Monster Truck Mater,” Mater is a professional wrestler who works his way up the ranks from amateur to World Champion Monster Truck Wrestler, wrestling all kinds of characters along the way. When faced with his biggest opponent yet, Mater brings in his “tag team partner,” Frightening McMean.”
Check out the Preview Trailer …
Our original posts of the diecasts is HERE.
You can view the first three on the official Toons YouTube Channel. Or if you clicked on the link above, just click on OUR FAVORITES.
You can buy all the shorts EXCEPT the Monster Truck one from iTunes UK if you don’t mind a hurdle, skip, jump and handstand hurdles to get it on your iDevice or Mac or PC.
With the second volume of Mater Tall Tales, the book called Heavy Metal Mater & other Tall Tales is out now … this Mater Tall collection will feature the novelizations (for kids) of the following shorts: Tokyo Mater, Unidentified Flying Mater & of course, the unseen in the US, Mater as a rock star in Heavy Metal Mater. (shorts #4-#6).
Monster Truck Mater is short #7 – clearly two more are coming in the next few months as the compilation book of the “kid’s novelization” of the first 9 shorts is coming in January 2011. You can pre-order from Amazon. There is no cover art yet.

Ladies & Gentlecars,
I get on this site every now and then and it’s funny seeing these items now as I Designed/Developed the die cast characters, the punching cars, and the Wrassl’n play set……….funny, two weeks/1 year from today is when I punched out of the Line, pun intended, but it’s all good. Everything is chilly on my side……..
Hope you are all well.
Glad you stop by and check up on us now and then… good to see you around Martin! You are missed around here…
Cannot beat a bit of tag team wrestling…. http://www.luchaloco.com/the_book.htm
I am pretty excited about these! My son is too! The combination is like a 4 year old boys dreams come true!! 😀
Picked up the newest book yesterday, and as usual, love it! Can’t wait to see the Toon on Friday, and Heavy Metal Mater when it comes to the US!
I have been collecting all the Toons diecast so far, just not sure if I will with the monster trucks. Not sold on the looks of them…
I’m finding the wrestling sets all over the place, but no sign of the diecast megas or singles anywhere…There are a few websites that are selling the megasized trucks, carded and ready to ship.
9:30PM??? What is this Major League Baseball. Why so late. Kids are in bed by then.
Lol!! Don’t forget, we are all big kids on this site! Where else do you get grown men and ladies getting exited about toy cars? 🙂 9:30 suits me fine!!
Dude, it’s a Friday! The parents will be out, so the kids will talk the babysitter into staying up late! 🙂
