Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: Lewis Hamilton Variant Reminder
“Snutes” reminds us and sends along nice photos of the first release of Lewis Hamilton, the variant eyes from the launcher …
(launcher variant on left).
The main version (on the right) comes with no teeth gap version and teeth gap version.
Also notice the windshield area – designed for a lenticular …
And the corrected teeth gap version comes in a unibody version with no windshield gap.
So … in summary …
Lewis Hamilton with teeth gap
Lewis Hamilton with teeth gap (unibody version)
Lewis Hamilton with teeth gap (rubber tire)
Lewis Hamilton with teeth gap (chrome Kmart)
Lewis Hamilton with no teeth gap
Lewis Hamilton with no teeth gap (launcher eyes)
I think that covers them all … thanks “snutes.”
Any others?
Lewis has been short packed by Mattel pretty consistently.
2 Rubber tire versions in Kmart 7 cases
2 Silver plastic tires in Kmart 9 cases
2 Unibody Lewis in Case H
2 Unibody Lewis in Case V
Have all the variant Lewis Hamiltons.
I noticed on the Kmart silver version some have red mouth paint and some do not. Probably more of a manufacturing variation than an actual variant.
I have the launcher version, the rubber tire version, and the silver version. That is enough for me. Any others will come from box sets or 2 packs. Oh yeah, the TRU metallic version if it ever gets made. I will get that too.
That’s a lot of different Lewis Hamilton… Lewis was definitely the most popular of the 5 Kmart 9 releases.
And if they release more variants with unibody and gap/no gap… I’m not going to collect them all.
