Mattel Disney PLANES Fire & Rescue: Oversized Cabbie Preview
The oversized “Cabbie” Fire Fighter PLANE looks nice …
Plastic – of course, if it’s metal, what kid could lift it?
And it’s got the nice back ramp for the “smoke jumper Pitty’s”
There is a listing for a version of CABBIE with 5 Smoke Jumper diecasts – it’s hard to tell if it’s this one with the 5 Smoke Jumpers or if there is a slighter smaller one that holds 5 diecasts …
Cabbie from the movie …
A jolly old ex-military transport plane, Cabbie (voice of Dale Dye) used to drop airborne utility vehicles behind enemy lines in Korea. Now he drops smokejumpers at Piston Peak—it’s a lot like combat, but nobody’s shootin’ at him.
Someone just needs to cut some of Dale’s lines from FULL METAL JACKET into his scenes from PLANES Fire & Rescue. 🙂
LOVE IT!!
Cool, looks like a Fairchild C-119, which were built near me, in Hagerstown, MD.
That’s cool!
