Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2: David Hobbs – Capped
David Hobbs, British race announcer voices the character of David Hobbscap – since all CARS character names are auto related, presumably – his “cap” at the end of his name is short for radiator cap …
But somewhere along the line, Mattel thought his name was spelled with an extra P … Hobbscapp. It’s on the poster also as Hobbscapp.
Er, the Disney Store knows what his correct name should be …
As is the way it’s spelled in the credits of the film …
Yes, I resisted all temptation to title today’s post something like David Hobbscapp with a little less P …
Or the high road, and write up a long essay on Hobbesian Theory and the anarchy of CARS 2 diecast (definition here).
Or search for a Calvin illustration ****ing on David Hobbscap …
Of course, since they butchered the diecast, why not his name?
Thanks for the heads up, “David V.”

Although I need confirmation on this, I believe his name is correctly spelled on the back of the 6 Pack he was released in w/o the headphones.
The Hobbscap diecast is a mess, his eyes are beady, they can’t spell his name, and yes butchered. The E Jaguar is long slim and sleek. Mattel needs to go back to the drawing board. I thought JL ok’d every design?
(MET: With his duties of running Pixar, Disney Animation, Disney Toon Studios and Pixar Canada plus Creative Director of the Theme Parks, and occasionally directing he no longer approves every diecast …).
Cha-ciao !!!!
Ho visto sul sito francese: http://www.disney.fr/cars/index.jsp#/personnages
che questo personaggio é chiamato ” Jacques Villenueve ”
chissa’ se David Vincent ne sa qualcosa in piu’ ?
Grazie ciao, SEDEMA
The new Filmore??
Does the back of that card have an April 1 License to Win date, or is it April 29?
I thought adding the cap was a play on hubcap…
Ditto.
Me three.
