Disney Store: New Gold Metallic Rip Clutchgoneski (UPDATE – Now CHASE)
The Disney Store is releasing a new gold metallic Rip Clutchgoneski (NOT a Chase):
Thanks for the nice photos, “Simba1814.” It’s now available online as a CHASE CAR.
I think this is a new background?
If you want a comparison to the old Rip – see below – which looks like it will continue to be available or until stock is gone? “Old” Rip Clutchgoneksi is available online.
I’m not sure what this means for the silver metallic series? Or if the Disney store will re-release all the CARS 2 racers in “other metallic?”
It does appear that Simba1814’s case does not have the CHASE decal? Sticker? Though since it’s easy to pop off the covering and either scrap it off or remove and clean the CHASE decal.sticker area, the “variant” value of it won’t change by much … but as of now, it does look like it’s a CHASE.
Thanks for the nice photos, “Simba1814.”

Disney store messed up again. They have it listed on line as a chase edition. They did this with red ribbons ramone also. It was listed as a chase edition originally and then had to correct it after the fact.
Also FYI the new Navy Dusty is now available on line as well.
Special Chase Edition available only at DisneyStore.com
is this true? its stated on their website.
I just went out to my local store and all the Rips were not marked chase ,but the lady at the desk said its a ” Chase paint job”.
(MET; The first photo I got in a box did not have the CHASE sticker on it but have they actually added it? Of course, it’s not really hard to fake, you can simply place another acrylic box over this one as the nameplate is on the base).
I’m not truly blown away by this release. But since I’ve been collecting them all I’ll pick this one up.
It is available in stores now, as it does not have a release date. Only Chase Cars get release dates and this is not a Chase edition.
Not here in Southern California. All of the Disney Stores that I have contacted stated that they received a memo from corporate with the 19th as a release date. I tried to argue with the stores with the same logic you stated. So, either the stores here are lying or other stores don’t read their memos.
With that said, release dates they give almost always corispond to the day they begin selling online, which happens to be a Monday.
Not sure if I will get this version. The yellow wheels are glaring. They just don’t look good to me.
The yellow rims are out of place. They would look more fitting on an old plastic Tonka toy.
They should try to incorporate different materials and techniques. Powder coated rims would be nice!
This does have a new background. It is very strange that it is not a Chase edition. This is a pure example of the Disney Store’s definition of a Chase edition.
Oh, it also has an official release date of the 19th.
A non-Chase with a release date, this is the first. I wish the Disney Store would stick with a process/policy instead of changing them every other week. I would hate to work there because you would have to keep all of these caveats memorized.
The Disney Store has now released all 11 Metallic WGP Racers. I believe the other 10 were all available in a huge 20 pack with 10 Cars from the first movie.
I hope they re-release them in the single cases. They stack so well!
As a non-metallic, only Miguel Camino have not been released in acrylic case yet…. Still waiting 🙂
Don’t get me wrong I love my Disney Store Cars but then I’m not really diggin. However, if it were silver I’d be all over it.
This is pretty awesome.
Disney Store? Bleah.
