Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: SDCC CARS Roundup
Clearly, as we ease into the right lane of CARS: TO, it was not too surprising to not see a lot of new CARS at SDCC – one reason there was no real rush to post anything as nearly every CARS shown at at SDCC was already featured on TakeFive earlier this year at one time or another. (Just remember to read the website everyday 🙂 … for instance, you might’ve missed the great gold bullion giveaway.*
Here’s my parking spot so in case I get disoriented … and of course, when I get audited … this proves it was a business expense ALL OF IT … 🙂
These were in the display – is that all you wanted to see? I’m done. See ya …
Okay, I did take a few more photos …
Yea, this was it for CARS 2010 …
The top row wrestling CARS you have seen a dozen times already …
But starting with row 2 left to right …
The Military Hummer from UFO Mater is pretty cool – I sense this one will not ever be on the shelf for long …
Mater’s Biggest Fan from Wrestling Mater & the Mater UFO Copter … both part of the Toon megasize lineup.
Clearly the “Event” group setup the booth as they had no clue what went with what … the Samurai Pitty’s (Teki & Paki) are not grouped together … that is variant Cho in the front, variant Otto, Dr. mater with mask down and Clean Dragon McQueen.
That’s Otto, Heavy Metal McQueen, Tex Dinoco as Promoter (Heavy Metal Mater), Kabuto “Stock,” Mater’s Biggest Fan (from Mater the Greater) and Final Tokyo Mater … again, they were sure what to do with the Bell or the UFO so they just slapped it in there.
And on the mid shelf in between …
I think they are just calling Dr. Mater in Disguise since no one would understand what the other name is …
That is the REF Pitty from Wrestling Mater – you’ll notice he’s eyeing his “bell” across on the other side of the display …
The interesting thing is the bell looks complicated – does it actually make a sound? Humm?
And the other Pitty’s were also split up incorrectly … hey, Pitty’s are confusing … 🙂
The only real mystery car is this one … presumably he’s Mater’s #1 Fan (Heavy Metal Mater) – not listed with the singles so maybe’s he’s part of the 4-pack? Yes, the 4-packs are still listed … maybe a Target exclusive now?
And the Haulers …
Since Juan Valdez has been covered a bunch of times, here’s Oliver Lightload and NO he will not actually come with a turntable – this was an old prototype – as of now, he will be coming as a normal pullout …
Chet Boxkaar sporting the INCREDIBLES logo 🙂
And Ben Crankleshaft with I believe another prototype design back not actually used in production …
As for the haulers, yep, they are coming back – looks like they took the summer off and will be back for the fall Toy reset … though whether your retailer actually orders any is another question …
There is one other mystery Mater … there are TWO additional shorts coming before year’s end …
* Yea, on April 1 … 🙂 … or in marketing speak, our info is LIKE and ALMOST as good as gold, right? Right? Anyone?
Some photos from Kevin NascarBronco – thanks!

yo estoy felis
espero que lleguen pronto a mexico slu2 desde mexico
The Cars Toons and new haulers are cool but I’m disappointed about the fact that there were no Final Lap cars from the first movie.
Yeah, I’m dissapointed too. I expected for sure they’d show some Final Lap. And yes, I did predict Toons would show up, but not this many, and I don’t care for Toons much. These new Mattel people started to shift to Toons as Martin was about to depart and go to WWE, they started to shift to Toons. Now, with the new designers, they completely shifted. I’m not buying them. It was just another way to make and sell more cars. I can’t believe it. I want to see more new Final Lap. I don’t even care if they’re repaints, although I rather not. Hopefully Oliver Lightload will have the correct FN logo on his trailer. I can’t wait to get the new Final Laps, and all 4 of those haulers shown.
If you want to see Heavy metal mater in english go here.

They should make a four pack of the band when they were at the Garage(Drummer Pitty,Guitar Pitty,Bass Pitty,and Singer Mater w/Mike)and a five pack when they are at the concert(Drummer Pitty,Guitar Pitty,Bass Pitty,Keyboard McQueen,and Singing Mater w/Mike) with their instruments.
Also, Oliver’s trailer in the movie said FN, not Up. Maybe they changed it to reference the movie Up. I hope the final says FN, though. Also, Ben Crankleshaft’s cab is a new style, which I’m surprised, and happy, though. I thought for sure it would be a repainted Gil. But, do you think the lack of Cars the movie stuff was due to Martin’s departure from the Cars line? This new guy completely shiifted to focusing on the toons, it seems.
(MET: Martin & his team did the Toons And Final Lap).
On a side note, that is a great display case. It would look good in my basement! 🙂
awesome. Can’t wait for all the new mater’s and of course Tex.

Is this the new Wrestling Mater diecast or is it a plastic one?
plastic
mater in beanie is from monster truck mater where he is battling i-screamer
It is disappointing to see how much “old stuff” is in that display case, isn’t it?
The Disney/Mattel brakes are mashed to the floor in order to drag out distribution as close to Cars 2 as possible. (They don’t have anti-lock, so there’s a lot of smoke from those brakes……….they use the smoke, along with some mirrors, to keep us all squinting our eyes, HOPING to see something really new hit the stores.)
anyone have any luck at Hasbro site.
I think Sgt. Slaughters sould out in 30 seconds, and Galactus lasted 2 minutes.
I did BOTH your Sgt Slaughters 5 o’clock and some for a few others
I know, and thank you 🙂 I don’t need anything else, just like watching the rat race.
By the way you can get 10% off your order using ‘Comic2010’ 😉
Ahh crap I checked this AM and they didn’t have anything got busy with work and didn’t check back. Oh well last time the did re-list some items after the initial sell out so I guess I will keep checking.
Lightning looks sweet all studded up!
So Sad that they appear to be scrapping the canon (movie) line. Oh well…it had to eventually end. 🙁
They wanted to wait for the Cars 2 stuff maybe?
Where were all the Cars items? Not much from the first movie… I thought for sure they’d have shown a few items from Cars 2 to whet our appetites for the upcoming movie… Most of the Cars were Toons…
According to sources they cannot release or show any cars/or movie related product(s) until at least 6 weeks before any movie release
Toy story 3 stuff was out last Christmas, 6 months before the movie, so don’t get what you are sayin.
That last Mater is from his first appearance as a wrestler!!!!
how hard is it to change the paint and stickers and give us some new haulers, crew chiefs, pitties, etc. ? come on Mattel.
White paint and some fruit stickers for example…
Is that a new Ramone?
Minor correction:
“Dr. mater with mask down” is actually Dr. Mater w/mask UP, the long-awaited 2nd version of Dr. Mater! 🙂
I’m looking forward to Dr. Mater in Disguise.
How about naming him Dr. Fahrvergnügen ???
Met clearly didn’t have enough coffee this morning. By the way, Dr. Mater with Mask up is filling the pegs here in Europe for quite some time now. Well, relatively speaking. But Cars sales are finally running out here as well. It’s time for Cars 2 !
He’s already got a name — Dr. Upschlepwagen!
Gotta admit, that’s one I just have to have!
Will probably go for the whole Heavy Metal Mater band as well; my bro-in-law is a drummer in a local heavy metal band…
Juan Valdez?? We getting a Columbian Coffee hauler?
Lot of angry lookin Cars this year.
Think I like the Slash pitty the best out of all of these. Although, I am more excited about the Cars in the ‘top 10’ survey from awhile back. Was hoping to see some of those.
Typo. It should be Paul Valdez. I guess Met is a coffee aficionado 😉
Yes, Paul Valdez, not Juan Valdez. I noticed that too. Also, I was shocked there were no cars from the Top 10 roundup earlier this month. Maybe this is due to the fact Martin left the Cars line. Also, I’m glad Ben has a new cab style. I thought it would be a Gil repaint. I’m excited about the haulers. I hope they do have the turntables. And, will they finish all the racers, haulers, and pit crews. I hope so. I would love to see them, even if they’re not in the movie.
WOW, this is so cool! I feel like a little kid again. Wish I could just grab them all and start playing with my kids. They want all of them! Can’t wait to get my hands on them.(being selfish) THE’RE ALL MINE!LOL
