Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2: Bash ‘N Go & The Return of Toon CARS?
There is another line of “launchers” called Bash ‘n Go CARS 2 CARS …
While they do not say either way, I’m going to presume they’re plastic – while it would be fun to fling them around the house at full speed, metal might dent your skull or take an eye out …
Apparently they’ll fly also … not exactly sure how aerodynamic Mater actually is but falling with style is still flying, right? 🙂
The PR description implies they fly …
“The Cars characters take flight in the Disney/Pixar sequel and now during playtime! Each item in this assortment comes with a launcher. When the vehicle is inserted into it, the launcher can be used to send characters up into the air to see how high they can reach or along the ground to see how far they can go. Includes 1 vehicle and 1 launcher.”
There is also a Holley Shiftwell in the first wave so crash ’em and bash ’em and go scare the cat, the dog and dad trying to take a nap …
But wait, there’s more!
Coming during the next 4 months (?) are a couple mysterious names …
There’s “FALCON.” Sounds like a plane? From CARS 2?
But listed with “Falcon” is “MOON McQUEEN” as “coming soon.”
Not much doubt as to which one that is …
And listed for the holidays … “Moon Mater.”
AND the even more mysterious “HAWK McQUEEN.”
So, while these seem to be all plastic for the Bash ‘n Go series, it seems safe to say the Toons will be back sooner than later and maybe we will start seeing METAL DIECAST 1:55 scale Toons by the holidays?
???
Place your bets.
(The Space Shuttle from MOON MATER is named Roger but maybe they changed his name to Falcon?)

Toon Roger would be appropriate to commemorate the last shuttle flight.
love toons!!!
need more definitely… never enough of those! never!
Bring em back baby….. yaaaahhhhhooooootttttttttoooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnn.
CANNOT WAIT for more Toons!!! LOVE THEM!!!
Great news about new toons cars. I think that I (i mean my son offcourse) is more excited about those than Cars 2 cars. Bring on the PI cars and please let there be Flo.
looking at the picture…. how is McQueen breathing in space?
Theres a real car called the ford falcon mabee it has to do with that.
lets see some more of the toons!
I’m going to need to get another Rubbermaid tub for additional Toons. Mattel needs to get cracking. They left us high and dry with El Materdor (only Chuy and Padre). I expect we have a number of Mia’s and Tia’s coming, but how much you want to bet they’ll only be included in a four pack with other cars we’ve already bought? Get ready to buy another Monster Truck Mater and Dr. Abbschlepp Wagen. At least most of us won’t already have El Materdor, so perhaps a nice four piece set of Mater, McQueen and Mia and Tia (one can hope, can’t he)?
In addition to all of the various Mia’s and Tia’s, I’m really hoping to see Dr. Frankenwagon from Monster Truck Mater. Oh, and the scientist pitties from UFM. So many left to produce. I just hope they don’t forget to fill out some of the older Mater’s Tall Tales before moving on to the newer ones. They did a good job completing Rescue Squad Mater and Mater the Greater, and we got more than we bargained for with Tokyo Drift Mater – although that was a really nice collection of cars.
So, bring on the Toons. Disney just doesn’t have enough of my money yet 😉
Looking at the screenshot of Moon Mater above, who wants to bet $5.00 that he will be released with a slight pink hue?
Bruno Motoreau is Raoul Caroule’s Crew Chief! Sorry that I had to say that while everyone was basking in the glory that is the Return of Cars Toons! 🙂
Don’t need Launchers, but NEED Toons! Can’t wait! Also hope they bring more Tokyo Mater Cars like NORMAL Tokyo Mater and start on Mater P.I Cars!
The Falcon and Hawk McQueen MUST be from a new Cars Toon, right? Maybe it will be called “The Falconer” with voiceover talents by Will Forte.
Can’t wait for more Toons! Great news. I would love see some Toon cubes at TRU.
Toon cubes – YES! I remember those good ole days; was it only last year? Those were the last days of abundant Franks as well I think (the combine, not the Cars 2 fan).
My son will love these, my wife….not so much.
AWSOME !!
Yeah! Would certainly love to see the toons return!
NEAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting launchers, loving some new Toons too.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! RELEASE the TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
