Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Emmanuel – A Fight of Scale Versus Metal
Thanks for the great pics, “John H.”
Emmanuel the Paris Tour Bus has arrived …
Sculpt-wise, he looks great but it’s the age old toy vehicle battle – scale or diecast metal … it’s hard to have both unless of course, you can list it at $20 to $100 …
Next to the closer scale truck, Andre – the transporter …
That is a Dolphin logo on the front of Emmanuel. The only other animal in CARS World other than the Sinclair Dinosaur as John H. asks/notes? (From PLANES, we can add a kangaroo).
But of course Andre is all plastic and actually costs twice as much (unless you’re buying your deluxe CARS at TRU, then, you’re only paying $4 more). So, an all-metal Emmanuel at the right size probably would be $29.99?
Here’s his scene from the film – scaled as a bus would be in our world.
Clearly too short or small versus CARS diecast Mater.
Of course, this explains his expression.
Also small versus other Paris CARS.
Mr. Small Stuff.
If you park the right vehicle next to him though, … Luigi, Guido. the Topolino’s, you have a pretty good scale display.
Thanks for the great pics, “John H.”

Never got the answer to the Rhino on Nick.
Never noticed that on Mack, will have to look.
There is another. Nick Stickers has a Rhinoceros logo on his non sticker side.
Emmanuel looks like he needs to be twice as tall and wide compared with Mater. Great post Met.
His size doesn’t bother me. He looks fine next to the double decker buses because he is the same length. Anything bigger, I would have to figure out where to put him.
Mack has a wolf hood ornament.
Ahem; Mack has a ‘Mack’ hood ornament, the classic Bulldog first done by Alfred Fellows Masury in the early 1930’s; and present on every Mack Truck since. I have one mounted on my Toyota Corolla!
The Mack truck mascot is a bulldog: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Mack_Trucks_logo.png
