Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: Van is Not Van San Except When He Is …
“RoseM” has would up with a puzzler …
It doesn’t look too abby-normal …”Fern Green” Lenticular Van (with stickers).
But that mouth plate is definitely from Van San … and it’s definitely not Bright Green … so it’s not like someone just lifted the mouth plate from Van San and jammed it onto lenticular Van with Stickers.
“RoseM” says he collects from all over and may have bought it off of eBay … anyone else have a lenticular Van with Van San’s mouth?
One possibility is that they planned on giving Van San’s expression to lenticular Van with Stickers but then decided against it? This was an escapee from the factory backdoor?

Well I change my prior assumption as I just found one at Big Lots today that looks like the above version.
I got this one in may i think, at big lots. It is correct, i’m surprised a lot of people didn’t see this one. It also has a different storage suitcase thing on his roof…the paint design is different compared to my van w/sticker(w/o stickers)I do not have van san to compare though.
I think that I saw one of these in-store a while back. It has been discussed before on CTT also I believe. They are all like that, as far as I know. (not very far)
I think I have a lenty one still in package so I’ll have to check it.
I have one. I took the Van San out of my Tokyo collection and sat it next to him, because they both have the same faces. There is a different smile for the normal, Chase, and Lenty versions. The Lenty is that smile.
It’s definitely NOT backdoor. I found one in the wild at a Wal-Mart in Chillicothe, MO on a trip to Kansas City. If I remember correctly, he was in the Lenty Case with Tim Rimmer.
That look suits him!
I will go with the last sentence. This is a ‘backdoor’ edition.
I always thought it would be cool if they packed their cars with different eye stickers. Interchangeable mouth pieces would be nice too.

Ugh, I just hate it when I have to turn my laptop upside down to read the comments… 😀
Laptop? Heck, I had to turn over my entire PC & Monitor to read it!
