Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Have a Holly Jolly Holiday Hotshot Lighting McQueen
Okay, that might not work so great as a Christmas song but as a diecast, all spiffy and shiny, the 2021 version.
Thanks, “Mark T.” for the great photos.
The 2021 re-release is very shiny, not called metallic but essentially “metallic.”
It’s also a unibody.
Compared to previous (on right) release.
The rims are slightly different.
And for those care, it’s now in the Mainline and no longer a expanded universe release.
Yay for unibody! No clue why they ever did segmented faces, it’s not like they saved that much metal doing it, and they look a lot better in one piece, without that line going through it. Such a cool diecast!
The segmented face was not to save metal, but to allow for different mouth expressions without having to make a an entirely separate casting.
Ah. I guess that makes sense.
