Mattel Disney Pixar Hydro CARS: Hey Kids, Can You Say Non Canonocity?
Since the Color Changers series is going away … they needed a new water lineup for kids and they decided to create a new series – it looks cute though not very canon.
They float (made of plastic), of course but they also have wheels that roll so kids can play with them on land also …
“The 1:55 scale vehicles feature true-to-movie proportions combined with enlarged wheels that allow them to function in water. Kids simply pull back to rev up and then release them in the tub or pool. They float, drive and even make a fun bubbly noise.”
It’s hydromatic! The singles lineup is not very large so far: Jeff Gorvette, Nigel Gearsley, Francesco Bernoulli, Max Schnell & Miguel Camino but if you collect them all, they’ll be more presumably.
There’s also a “Splash Speedway Track Set” (photos HERE) – “Not only do the tubes float in water, but they also expand to allow kids to customize the track. They can create a different shape or lengthen the track its full extent. With side-by-racing and a finish arch, the winner can be celebrated and the loser left all wet.”
Sounds pretty fun for little tykes …
There is a yacht also which actually looks nice and in scale to the 1:55 metal diecast CARSΒ – though also not canon – especially with the Lightning McQueen stickers but it will fit two 1:55 CARS on the back deck and there is some launcher device built in …
“This yacht drives through water but also has wheels that work when on solid ground. Two Bath Hydro Racers vehicles can be stored onboard, and a launcher can send them racing. Kids will find bath-time the best time! Includes 1 Bath Hydro Racer vehicle.”
And back enlarged …
Canonocity? Do you care? Will the kids care?
Other yachts …
Or the small boat the pulls Mater …
That one car is like Leeland with sunglasses!
I will wait to see these in person…
Just noticed the small boat Mater grasps too says “La Luna”.
But why release these now, when summer is ending and the pools are closing in most of the country? These would have been great for the kiddie pool…
Theese look awesome, The yacht I must buy, I probably will not get the floating water cars. But I will probably put 1:55 cars on it. π
Would the cars move in water?
Lightning: no.
The Yacht: YES!!
Far better than colorchangers that’s for sure!
These looks cool, but lots of people liked the color changers…
(MET: TRU is fine with a a exclusive item but an exclusive line, it’s like handing a slurpee to a 5-year old on a 100-degree day and say – don’t drink any – just hold it for me). π
