Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2: Diecast 2-Packs … Some New, Some Old, Some Borrowed – You Might be Blue …
The next wave of 2-packs are as follows … some have been featured on the poster already – here are some nice high res closeups …
Mater & Ape … Ape is much impressive when you see the details …
An ape named Ape … though for a henchman, he’s not particularly scary and seems wobbly …
Finn Security Guard & Acer
Again, Finn as Security Guard is actually nice in detailing …
And the Leland Turbo 2-packs comes with …
Wait for it …
Yes, you didn’t ask for it by name but you’re getting him and you’re gonna like it! (well, maybe not like but pay for it – boy, will you pay for it). 🙂
Finn McMissile & Leland Turbo …
And the last 4-pack listed for wave 2 or is it wave 1.5?
Uncle Topolino & Mama Toplino … humm, not much metal here … do we get ionized spaghetti as an accessory?
Something new, something borrowed and something re-released … are you green? Or blue? (just don’t use blue language – green language is acceptable).

Ape’s not a bad guy: he’s just a civilian
That ‘Security Guard’ Finn always trips me out. Really?!? A Japanese Aston Martin… and noone even notices… In the real world lets see Michael Caine dress like a Japanese policeman, and see if he can get away with it.
and where was Tomber sipping oil in the movie???
Stop spelling Leyland Turbo like that!
His name is Leland Turbo people, so pay him some respect!
Sorry, he’s just such a cool character that calling him by the wrong name dishonors him.
Nothing’s worse than “Lightening McQueen” though.
My son refers to McQueen as “Lightning The Queen.” Now that would be an interesting story….
“McQueen, Queen, Queen, McQueen, McQueen, McMissile, McMissile, McQueen!” 😛 one of my favorite quotes in Cars 2.
Anyone up for “La Cars Aux Folles”?
if hes an uncle why is she mama?
mattel:its not illegal to release new cars in single packs, just remember that.
Hey,i got an idea. a dream come true would be if mattel gave the cars 2 line to a company that could do this right. whos with me!?
When asked what they do for a living, do you think henchmen say “I’m a henchman”? Does anyone really use that word about himself?
And if a henchman is female, is she called a roosterchman? Or would she be a roosterchwoman?
These kinds of questions keep me up most nights.
😀
I have the feeling I will end up my line 2 collection with at least 60 Finn, 45 Mater, 38 Francesco ex-equo with McQueen and probably half dozen other cars with no less than 10 duplicates…. imagine the rest!!!
LOL You could always sell the extra ones on Ebay! I have been doing that and it has been fun and i get my money back.
so how much do you get for a loose finn?!
maybe im on a custom kick, but i think we need to start thinking of some cool custom ideas for all the finns. and to reference what somebody else said lately, at least these are only 2 packs (not a 5/7/10 pack).
See my reply to DDD little bit down…
How about a gloss black Finn with some white trim and a “007” license plate?
I’d buy that for a dollar!
You could use Finn w/ weapon & make it the “golden gun”!
How about “Compacted Finn McMissile”? We could say it’s from the first Cars 2 Short “Finn-al Countdown”.
It’s a good thing I’ve been saving my receipts; looks like I’ll be returning my Luigi/Guido/Uncle T “two-pack” once the Uncle T/Mama T set comes out.
Last weekend I returned @ $60 worth of un-opened multi-packs due to the number of duplicates I now have (thanks to Mattel and Target’s practice of packaging one new CAR with three readily-available others).
Same here. I save every reciept because Im not messing around with quadruples anymore. Nor the minor variations like Tombet w/ oil can.
i thought i was done returning after they took the tokyo pack back (after getting the 10 pack), that was supposed to be my last exchange. until i see good ol’ topolino here. looks like another return is in order (after we get the 2 pack). we still havent opened any cars 2 (other than rubber tires and lights & sounds) because of all this. at least they have been cool about taking them back.
on that note, do most of the cars 2 have flat bottoms like the rubber tire versions? what happened to the chassis?
The funny thing is, the first two 3-packs I returned were the first ones I bought, at Kohls. They took them back, no problem, but I couldn’t help noticing that every set they had in the store was now on clearance…
Awesome! More Finns, Maters & Acers! They are soooo HTF!
In any event, Security Guard Finn, Leyland & Ape are cool!
Sigh, they make you buy Uncle Topolino and then Mama Topolino comes out right afterward! What’s up with her eyes they look kinda weird…. Ape looks really cool! And I won’t mind a fourth Finn McMissile because I lost one that I already had opened!
Now I know what looks weird with Mama! Someone forgot to give her her eyelashes!
She looks like a cute little man!
Just a prototype, perhaps?
Enough with the race team Maters. I have 9 of him in the various 1, 2,3,5 packs already.
Sounds like you are ready for the next Tall Tale when Mater learns how to clone himself!
I didn´t saw ape in the movie, where was it?
I remember seeing him in the stoplight/intersection surveillance footage. Holly is showing Finn and Mater video footage of some intersections in Porto Cosa and they notice the lemon families driving in groups. At least one ape goes across the road in front of some of the lemons. So, not a henchman, just a regular Italian townie… but very cool looking.
If he’s smiling, he couldn’t be a bad guy. Even Miles Axelrod has a frown on his face. Grem and Acer look bloodthirsty, Petrov Trunkov looks sad, and Vladimir is smiling, but with a weird look in his eyes. Professor Z is also frowning and has a devious look in his eyes.
Great surprise this morning! I would have guessed Leland was coming later! Wonder why he wasn’t shown at SDCC if he’s coming soon? I do hope his front end is more sculpted and this is just a rendering…the headlight well looks painted rather than sculpted (see the one at left). Won’t mind the extra Finns…at least it’s just a two-pack!
You see? This is eaxctly what Mattel wants… To make you feel okay to buy a 2-pack with a rerun after burning you with ONE exclusive cars out of 7… Same pratice with fuel price. Bring the price so high then when they bring it down a dollar over the initial price you feel you have a bargain…. 😉
Again those will be mixed tru/wally xx packs???
I don’t think they will be Wally’s Mater’s Secret Mission because the SG Finn and the Ape 2 packs were listed on the Kmart Poster and Fred and Tyler were not. Hopefully they will be wide release 2 packs everywhere.
I odered SG FINN & ACER MAY 16th from TRU but they cancelled it(3 wks later) because it was not yet available & there was no ship date !!
Nice gravatar Corinne!
Thanks, I finally figured it out !
Do we know what else is in the Topolino four pack? Luigi and a cousin?
2 of Finn?
A pretty cool selection. Mattel is stretching it once more with the Toppolino family; if Luigi and Guido can be a single, surely these 2 could be as well. Regardless, cool cars that I will need to buy.
I have seen the movie twice and don’t remember what scene Ape was in. Bring on the new 2 packs! Gramma’s house needs Mater and Uncle Topolino. I think she already has Acer and Finn though. Oh well, those will go to Nana’s house. They will be our 2nd and 3rd triples. Lightning McQueen was our first triple. It is all worth it because Ape, Leland, SG Finn, and Mama Topolino are needed in our collection.
Cool cars! I hope that THESE will be 3 or more to the case, rather that the McQueen/Francesco or Finn Tomber 2 pcks!! 🙂
bring it on, atleast some new stuff ! do we know when are these coming ???
I know he’s bad but that little Ape is so cute LOL
