Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Make Time For Percy Hanbrakes
Thanks for the heads up and photos, “John H.”
Percy Hanbrake has finally arrived about 7 years after it’s been announced.
In the TRU only “Back in Time” 3-pack with repeat releases Brand New Mater & Edwin Kranks (though Edwin Kranks is now a unibody so if you not buy him as a RS Classic in the past 2 years, the previous release was segmented).
Since he’s not a unibody, there might be more versions of him in CARS 3?
He is misspelled on the back but that’s not exactly new with CARS. (See Comments below for all the versions of his name – Pixar calls him Hanbrakes so that’s what we will go with).
With some other old early 1950’s design CARS.
Technically, John H. notes that maybe he should’ve been a 2-tone.
It arrives with another 3-pack, MAIN STREET EVENT but there’s nothing new in this box set – McQueen with Shovel is still segmented.
Thanks, “John H!”

Hey John, I was able to grab this 3 pack with Percy which was good for me because I needed the Edwin Unibody. What do you think about the Brand New Mater, is that the one with plastic bed?
Also, on the 3 pack McQueen with Shovel. Which version of Sarge is it? I just can’t tell when looking at Met’s wonderful checklists?
Thanks for any help.

(MET: I haven’t opened my 3-pack yet so anyone who has can chime in. It’s hard to keep track of the Sarge/RT Sarge/Other Sarge’s variants but they seem to have settled on the new design with the canvas top as a “cap.” … this post might help).
Thanks Met. Those posts on Sarge are very detailed.
Also, there’s a ‘d’ between ‘n’ and ‘b.’
You actually have the spelling wrong. It’s spelled “Handbrakes” with an ‘s.’

(MET: Thanks for the final word – thanks! If T5 bothered to slap a watermark on it, it must be correct. 🙂 ).
The Mattel packaging is wrong, he’s been listed as “Hanbrakes” since the elder days of the Cars Finder game.
Yes, ignore my second comment about the missing ‘d.’ There still should be an ‘s.’
Headlight decals are upside down…
headlights on the back of the box are blue on the bottom, brown on top too. perhaps because the reflector behind the glass is concave and the top is reflecting the brown ground, the bottom reflecting the blue sky?
Good point.
They’re attempting to show a headlight visor, colored glass that was supposed to act as a sort of foglight under most conditions. You can find some modern copies, but old glass like that is rare today.
