The 2018 Chick Hicks with Headset is a variant from the 2017 release – not a huge variant but a variant.

Thanks for the heads up and photos, “Samuel K.”

His eyes have shifted up a few ticks.

Basically matching the screenshot on the 2018 card so not a huge variant but a variant, nevertheless.

“Carl P.” sends us info & photos on a Cruz variant.

The current release has the visible disc brakes.

Earlier releases did not have the disc brakes visible.

All and all, pretty minor – most people have been staring at Cruz for a year and not many noticed so it’ll be noted as a minor variant, not of any real consequence but f course, you are free to collect both.

And one more possible variant. The new 2-pack of Flo and Purple Ramone.

Flo might actually be a 1-piece unibody. 2017 Flo single definitely WAS NOT. Like all Flo’s before, her “head” was pushed up through a hole in the metal diecast body but I think they have finally retired her as the only oddity in the CARS manufacturing process but if you have one open or I’ll get around to opening it to confirm.
