Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Case Y Arrives at Retail (Return of Lizzie!)
CASE Y arrives at retail.
Thanks for all the great photos “Rob (I Can Field a Hockey Team With My Kids).”
These are the CARS of biggest interest – the return of Lizzie!
She has lavender/purple tinted headlamps – presumably she matches the speculation from this post.
The Wheel Well Guido is a little odd in that his sign is in Spanish. Clearly when Mattel asked for a screen shot of the scene, Pixar sent over a Spanish version and no one at Mattel thought, “Isn’t CARS 2 also ‘dubbed’ in English?” At first, I thought there would be a multitude of language releases but it looks like Spanish is the only version.
Though when the got around to doing the packaging, they clearly got an English screenshot file.
The Y case has Lee Racé as the only CHASE.
Nice looking sculpt.
The other noteworthy release is the return of Matthew “True Blue” McCrew – it’s hard to say definitely but it seems likely he’s still a segmented face plate like all of his other releases … but it’s hard to say 100% until one gets cracked open.
Thanks for the great photos, “Rob (My 7 Kids).”
Here is the rest of the case.
There is a SUPER CHASE case, presumably CASE W – it looks like it’s in the system available to order – once we have the final confirmation as to what the Super Chase is, we’ll let you know.
These are just showing up now in San Diego Targets, so I guess we are 4 months behind.
So I was looking at that koool French site & they have two cars that don’t have the WOC ribbon above the car in white. Now they are international card back because they just show a picture of the car as compared to the name. Lizzie & Matthew True Blue McCrew are just different!
I still haven’t gotten any of the 2014 cases around me. Frustrating! All the same olds ones from’13. One thing I’m really hoping for is a poster of all the upcoming 2014 releases like they did last year. Any chance of that again? I like seeing all of them in one place. Has anyone heard anything about that?
I’ll be skipping Wheel Well Guido. Hopefully they’ll roll out a correction like they did with Fabulous Hudson Hornet, Mario Andretti, and Lightning McQueen.
Found these last monday. I was first!
Had Mattel done Guido’s sign in English, it would have said “Teaim Lightning McQueen”.
