A few days, we took a look back at the Blu Ray Finder game screens (from CARS 1) and there were about 16 characters listed that we’ve not gotten as diecasts … there were 16 un-released.

What are the odds of getting them?

In the earlier post, we covered TIER 1 CARS characters that have have gotten a prototype made which is the first step – this second tier are ones from the Blu Ray Finder game screens with nanes – it seems for these Mattel requested screen shots but prototype or prototype files were unrevealed – well at least to me … 🙂

The Autobahn Society “brothers” are small sedans – pretty generic looking. I don’t think we’ve gotten a small sedan diecast (most of the camera CARS are coupes) and they are not erribly exciting looking so I’m guessing they are not very high on the release list especially if these have t0 be released in one fell swoop – like a box set – they’re not really visually all that exciting.

Studs McGirdle could be a Timothy Twostroke repaint with a camera – so an easy release … and for those who like a peek behind the scenes, this is what art supplied by Pixar to Mattel looks like.

Syd VanDerKamper was probably low on the list of even RV’s because he came with accessories but things might be looking up as not only are we scheduled to get RV’s – we are starting to get more accessories. He also is mostly a repaint of Convoy Brother K.Technically, Vroomaroundus Bug – as a bug should be tiny – maybe the size of a Tic-tac compared to a regular 1:55 CAR but of course, if this gets released, it’ll just be Flik with wings (antenna already ready). The Bug is NOT listed in the BR Finder game.

That leaves us the rest from the BR Finder game: Bertha Butterswagon, Dan Sclarkenberg, Bennie Caliper & & Percy Hanbrakes.

Bertha seems to be a repaint Matthew True Blue McCrew.

Studs McGirdle – another Timothy Twostroke with camera?

Could be another repaint of any of the dozen small coupe releases.

I wonder if Dan has lost his place in the queue because he used to a Pixar employee but is long gone so his namesake release is long gone also.

Percy looks vaguely like Milton Calypeer so they could laze out and just repaint him …

If these get released, his closes out the Tier 2 CARS characters as diecasts. These are the ones who have made some movement from screen to diecast but not as far as Tier 1, these are on Teir 2 because they made:

the first names list from Pixar in the Blu Ray finder game.
OR
a list from Mattel to get approval from Disney-Pixar to make a prototype.

This closes out the list of Tier 2 characters.
