Mattel Disney Toon PLANES: Propwash Junction Airport Playset + Skipper First Look
One of the main playsets for PLANES will be the “Propwash Junction Airport” playset …
It may or may NOT come with everything you see here … My guess is you get a plastic Skipper and that gray plane is really just an accessory to spin around. (the Skipper looks like the diecast version – just for show here). It doesn’t seem to be a launcher, it’s play value simply seems to be you drop a plane down the ramp and I guess it rolls down the hangers?
And I think they just placed a Pitty in the control tower so you can see how it “plays.”
This is the first look at Skipper as a toy character. He looks pretty much like his character from AIR MATER but then again, as a plastic piece, it doesn’t give a full story.
The other playset/display is Yorkie the aircraft carrier and something called a “Sky Track Challenge” playset … again, the problem with planes is that they offer much less play value on a track than cars do …
Looks like the taxiway is designed to snap together with other sets.
Does anyone know when the plane toys will be in stores?
(MET: Probably end of June …).
Will Mattel include a grain of salt with this?
They’ll charge us another two dollars for that “deluxe pack”…
I tell myself I won’t be collecting Planes… and then I see the playsets and the 4 diecasts and think that I probably will.
Thanks for the great write-up and photos, Met. 🙂
