Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2: Action Agents Are the New Mini’s + Playsets
The Agent Agents are out, they are the new MINI’s for those who remember them.
Photos and notes from “PirateDad.” (thanks!)
“The come in a single pack, or a double pack. They all come with a mini launcher that is interchangeable from car to car. Which makes it easier to sit on either side of the room and fire them at each other and then back again!!! The 2 packs seem to have extras, like Grem and Finn came with a rocket launcher for Grem….which works quite well but is not nearly as fast as the car…heeheeee,”
The bad dudes look appropriate as “mini’s.”
If people are interested, I can pull together a checklist …
My, that is a large missile you have Grem …
(yes, they are plastic, not diecast metal).
And a nice size, scale & width comparison to the old Mini’s. (thanks PirateDad!)
And “Cars3AJ” also sends some other comparison pics …
And McQueen …
He also sends along a bin of the new TRU pallet with one side devoted to the Action Agents.
“I went onto my local TRU in Boca Raton, FL and came across a cube of Action Agents. I took some pics and I am attaching them now. There are four two packs, LMQ and Francesco, Mater and Professor Z, Finn McMissile and Grem, Holley Shiftwell and Acer ($11.99). They also have singles of LMQ, Mater, Finn, Francesco and Rod Torquline ($6.49). Then there is the Spy Boat which comes with Finn ($32.99).”
Speaking of the BATTLE STATION (SPY BOAT), that’s nicely done and might be in scale with the regular 1:55 CARS?
Also available online at Amazon.
There are also other playsets which seem nicely done …
SPY TRAIN (only at Walmart)
(different than Stephenson, the Spy TRAIN BTW).
CRABBY BOAT
Or a 3-pack only at Toys R Us … it looks like you get different, exclusive or extras Action Action Mini’s with this set? 
Lastly, a pretty cool barrel roll playset, SPY LOOP (Walmart only).
Happy collecting.
Thanks for the great photos and info, “CARS4AJ” and “PirateDad” Thanks!

Wow, did I read that right. $6 per car in the 2 pack and a bit more for singles? Who’s kidding who here. These prices are a joke and Mattel should be ashamed of themselves (yet again). I would wager that these don’t sell very well. We’ll wait until they go on sale. They do look great though, but those prices… Geeez! My son and I love the old mini’s. He’s only missing a few but he takes them everywhere to play with. The die cast sit at home most of the time.
FYI, Mattel has a job opening and it’s obvious this job needs to be filled by someone who visits this site. Director of Consumer Insights. I’m sure the job pays well and ya get to live in super sunny southern California (if you don’t already). It seems painfully obvious that this position has been vacant for awhile or is new because Mattel hasn’t shown much ‘Consumer Insight’ lately!
I saw them at TRU not that long ago. I wanted them but I never got them. They looked pretty cool.
i think ill pass now but there made great probly alot of $, i thought the spy ship was coming for 1:55 but it had to be this one. http://www.rcmania.com/air-hogs-disney-pixar-cars-2-rc-moving-eyes/ These rc’s should have been how they did the lenticulars. there eyes move when you turn the wheels! perfect looking! MATTEL!: if you do moving eyes…do it this way!
I saw this at one of our TRU yesterday! VERY COOL! I think we must have the ships … but don’t care too much for the mini dudes … though they are pretty cute! 😀
Battleship is very nice. Waiting for a sale though. Very film accurate design and not babified like the cars. Great diecast pupils rather than sticker eyes. Move back and forth manually. Will pick up as a display piece!
Make that dieCUT pupils.
Any idea when the three-vehicle playset is coming to tru or what the price will be? Not crazy about the train but I wonder if it’s worth waiting to get the boats together. Also why is Holley listed as part of the product name as though she’s an exclusive? She’s not and there are other vehicles too.
I think we will pass on it all. Just don’t need this. 🙂
Very cute!! But I can’t fall for them…! Although it would of been nice if the 3-pack was a regular scale 😉
So cute! These are going to be difficult for me to resist.
Saw this pallet at my TRU today; no Crabby Boat, though…
Oh! There is so much here to pass on.
Awesome but sadly no tru near me. I love the minis
These will be at Walmart too. Just the 3 vehicle playset is exclusive to TRU.
We will be getting Battle Station and Crabby Boat, just not at the current price.
Cute but I really dont care for the plastic stuff.
MUST HAVE them ALL!!! Already strategizing which singles I have to buy because they don’t come in two-packs. 🙂
So are these new cardbacks a sign of things to come, or is this just for the Action Agents?
Also, it looks like the Battle Station has two sets of eyes — the typical Pixar Cars eyes, and then the fron looks like a shark with two beady eyes.
Oooohhh…. I was waiting for this post!!
Awesome, they are very nice and playsets …awesome..
Thanks Met.
P.s. Neeeeed all these!
The Battle Station boat is not in scale with the 1/55 cars. It does make a nice background piece though. Our TRU had the cube for a couple weeks now.
I bet the Deluxe Vehicle and Playset Pack takes up a LOT of shelf space! Haven’t decided yet on these. I still like the Mini’s. Bring back the Mini’s!
