Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: The Metallic Series Lives
The metallic series that started with Lightning, Jeff Gorvette & Nigel Gearsley will continue … well, at least two more … Raoul Caroule & Francesco Bernoulli …
Most likely it will be available at TRU only and Toys R Us might use it an incentive in a future promotion. Or simply sell it for twice the price of a regular diecast as they do now. 🙂
So, if the Zamak Chrome make it out, we’ll have 4 of each racer …
Regular
Rubber Tires
Metallic
Zamack Chrome
Maybe we’ll get a second MSOS of the track where the racers can be 4 wide … of themselves …
But why stop there?
They can do a bare metal one …
Or save more time by not painting them at all except for the eyes.
Or maybe a throwback version like all sports team do now.
Like the imaginary teams of Dinoco from CARS, how about an Allinol set of 11?
Or a Pixar tribute to 11 Pixar movies?
Or almost all them got burnt at some point …
Or …

New cars as other collectors have suggested, pleaded for etc but with only 11 racers included in the movie for some inexplicable reason instead of hot new racers we just keep getting different versions of the same car.
The metallic Cars do look really cool. I have 11 empty display cases waiting for them. Haven’t opened McQueen, Jeff, or Nigel yet. Was waiting to see if more were going to be released before putting them on display with our other racers.
TRU has done a “free with $25 Cars purchase” at some point for each one so far. If there is $25 worth of stuff you want from TRU, just wait ’til the promo comes along.
I’ll buy new characters in plastic tires, the racers in plastic and rubber tires, and Lightning and Finn in metallic ransburg-style paint, but that’s it. These are cool in a Hot Wheels kind of way, but I have to draw the line somewhere. Also, it gives me the opportunity to say, “at least I didn’t collect them all” to Mrs. Manifold when needed.
Good to know I’m not the only one 😉
Seriously. There are still a few (thousand) new cars that Mattel could release, rather than focus on the umpteenth version of Francesco, et al. This squeezing every penny out of each mold is becoming unbearable.
Would love to see a “blown up” versions, or like Nascar used to doRaced vesions with dirt, and scrapes..that would be cool.
“So, if the Zamak Chrome make it out, we’ll have 4 of each racer …
Regular
Rubber Tires
Metallic
Zamack Chrome”
plus other Mattel 1:55 versions:
Quick Changers
pull backs
plastic versions that come in playsets
Collect & Connect puzzle editions (“silver specials”)/Finish Line Frenzy silver & gold
Alive
Lights & Sounds
Don’t forget Charge Ups!
I really like the metallic paint Cars and hope they finish the racers… however, don’t give them any more ideas such as only painted eyes… we’d rather they finish what they start as opposed to starting and not finishing different product lines… 🙂
I’d also like to see them do a metallic paint series of all the Cars racers… Speedway of the South, metallic paint series…
I like this series. I’m hoping they do all eleven racers. So far, my favorite is metallic Nigel. I think a metallic Lewis would look fantasic!
Neat!
