Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Deluxe-Oversized CARS Arrive in Australia
Craig sends along a pic and says if you can’t wait for the US one, check out his Australia eBay auction …
And yep, looks like he got his original name back – from the scene in the movie.
The US case (when it shows up) will contain 3 “Funny Car Mater’s”
1-Queen …
2 Kimura Kaizo (aka: Sumo Ref) (of course, this is an illustration).
Thanks, Craig!
Guess the Deluxe oversized cards are still Porto Corsa.
Funny car is cute, Dragstar is ok too
lets just get them! Mattel can call it whatever they want!
🙂
A little nicer looking in the prototype pic, but definitely one for the money!
Oh you’re right. They really took the cheap route with the engine and exhaust pipe detailing. The redline wheels are intact, though. I hope the Queen’s crown ends up being as shiny as the prototype photo.
My exact thoughts too. How nice it would have been if like the prototype picture. That plastic engine just takes away from the otherwise great Mater.
Its not like they don’t have plenty of silver paint. 🙂
The packaged version — with the plastic engine and the plastic exhaust pipes — looks like an Aroldo custom before he was able to finish it.
Maybe this is just the crappy version, and they’ll have a TRU metallic exclusive.
Anybody know the case code?
found this and thought it looks similar to mater

Dad gum! How did Australia manage to get these?
“Funny Car” is much better than “Drag Star”. Called it!
Those look cool, hopefully the Sub Finns are all headed to Big Lots, etc. to make way for them!
I can’t wait to get these… hopefully soon… Saw them all on eBay yesterday but decided to wait…what’s a few more days/weeks/months when we’ve been waiting months for new Cars…
Went to a Fred Meyer yesterday and all 2-packs were removed !!!! This is a very good sign.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 🙂
That Mater is going to be hot, hot, hot!!!
Neat! Saw this on e-Bay last night, and can’t wait to see the pics of The Queen and Kimura Kaizo in box!
Very nice!
