Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: SDCC Tuner Mater Box Lights Up?

Unconfirmed rumor … the SDCC Tuner Mater box may light up his translucent tailpipe flames … (the box, NOT Mater himself).

This is a painstaking recreation of what LED lights underneath Mater might evoke … or, it could be me holding a LED flashlight in one hand and a camera in the other … while eating a corn dog and watching the NBA playoffs while texting.

In other words, it may look nothing like this mock-up of an artist rendering of a happenstance …

    Anyone confirm whether or not these light up?

    • NascarFan says:

      OKAY….. According to SDCC page:

      Comicon Exclusive Tokyo Mater features a 1:55 scale die cast Mater only available at Comicon 2010. Features include: Premium paint and unique diorama packaging, True to the Tokyo Mater Mater Tall Tale, Mater is a “low rider” with low profile tires and a unique street racing inspired paint job, He also has a faux Carbon Fiber spoiler, dual exhaust with blue flames, and no rust! Also features blue neon underlighting that reflects beautifully off the ground for that “after market” look. Features a push button “try me” for light effects.

      If anyone wants some I am still making a buy list

    Can’t figure why it says Tomato in Japanese on the side

    They could have done without the Christmas-looking lights as flames.

    Lets play a game! Can you find the hidden Take5aDay watermark in the second picture?

    Yeah I can honestly say that I am not overly excited about this years SDCC exclusive. The LSMQ for the first one was amazing and the box set from last year was very cool with the great display box, but it seems like they have been going down hill ever since the exclusives that were available from the Hotwheels RLC.

    There have been a lot of us saying this for quite some time now. I think it is a great idea! Especially the Tunerz

  • John in Missouri says:

    Mattel should really think about adding working lights to selected vehicles — Mater, Brand New Mater, Sheriff, Red, the Tunerz, etc.
