Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Themes 2014 WOC Cards Arrives on Pegs?
“Lane Change” spotted the new cards on the shelf at his Walmart – well, just two Raoule Caroule’s.
In looking over the listed first case of “2014,” while the “new” is not exactly too new, I could see a completist wanting the new cards but leaving Raoule behind? If the listing is correct, there’s only one Raoule in each case and it would seem we might see a few leftover Marlon Clutches McKay and Francesco’s left if this Walmart got 2 cases. 🙂
So, this could just have been mistakenly packed in one of the “2013” cases. Or will the two cards be mixed together since it’s NOT CASE A as it might normally be but CASE T? I guess we’ll find out for sure next week – CASE T is supposed to leave the warehouse next week so we might have a better answer but if you’re a card completist collector, look carefully, it’s pretty subtle.
You’ll also noticed they re-designed the WGP theme banner logo slightly.
From this photo, it looks like Raoule will remain the only WGP racer with a segmented face piece/bumper as the line crease is still there. I’m sure they’ll eventually do a switchover when we least expect it.
Thanks for the great photos, “Lane Change!”

I was lucky to find both Ruka and Ichigo at my Target yesterday. By the way if anyone happened to get their hands on an extra metallic RIP please let me know! I have a few things that I can trade or I can purchase. Contact me at jjones1112@gmail.com.
my walmarts have only trunkovs and Francescos on the old cardbacks…yeah for me 🙁
First themes appearance of Raoul as a single. Last year…or uh-this year, he was a 2 pack with Bruno.
no sign of these at my walmarts yet
Disney owns Pixar. So as long as it says Disney nothing else matters.
Raoule will get a one piece body just as soon as Mattel toy engineers figure out how to apply black paint at the top of the windshield.
I’m guessing that Disney is pulling the Pixar brand in under their own corporate umbrella. Pixar may remain a production facility, but decisions will be made from headquarters, and while Lassiter is now head of Disney animation, I suspect Pixar will not have the independence it once did.
Did you get a pic of the back of the card?? Shame he is still a 2 piece!
Also I spy Ruka and Ichigo below Raoul! 😀
The card back didn’t have anything different other than mentioning “coming in 2014”, no new cars were on the back.
Did Pixar disown Cars?
Maybe Disney pushed Pixar out because Cars sells more merchandise than any other Disney property.
Wow, good eye Lane Change!
Any idea what the Assortment number is? Just curious if they qualify for the current Kmart / Mattel promotion.
(MET: while I have not seen the new cards, they seem to be the same product code as themes 2013 so you should be okay).
