Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: You Like 1:55 Diecasts? You Like Micro Drifters?
You Like 1:55 Diecasts? You Like Micro Drifters?
You see where this is going?
Yep, there’s a new line extension coming.
1:55 Diecast release that includes a Micro Drifter on the card.
(the card is the same size as the regular 1:55 diecasts, no shocker there as there’s plenty of room to include a three chicklet gum height CAR).
There are 4 listed as part of the first releases but no specific CAR listing so it’s a guessing point at this juncture.
Would it shock anyone if it was Lightning, Finn, Francesco & Mater?
Well, we do have a lot of Finn’s so perhaps Mattel will sub in their second favorite CARS 2 diecast – Petrov Trunkov.
And if Francesco is over-populated, then they’ll reach back to their favorite car of CARS 1 – and of course, who would argue that they love, love, love, love, love Marlon Clutches McKay? 🙂
So, agreed, it’s Lightning, Mater, Petrov & Marlon Clutches McKay, right? RIGHT?
🙄
Perhaps a stronger launch might be 1:55 Tach-O-Mint with a real mint flavored Tach O Mint Micro Drifter? Todd Pizza Planet with a pizza smell Todd Micro Drifter? An Apple racer with a Micro Drifter Apple Car that has a logo light up? Van with Micro Drifter Van that makes the car-is-alarmed sound?
I think they might be able to sell a case assortment of my 4 suggestions.
So, what assortment will you wager on? 🙂

Mater’s Microdrifter is out already? Where? Not on Amazon.
How about 1:55 Frank with Micro Drifter LMQ and Mater…now we’re talkin!
They need to do 5-for-1 promotion like Toys R Us did a few years ago. Simply buy 5 of any Car AT ANY STORE, send in the UPC & receipt, and get a free exclusive Car sent to you.
It’s definitely geared towards giving the Micro Drifters line some traction in the market. We collectors tend to forget that we are not really the intended market for toys 😉 Kids will love getting a car and a “free” micro drifter in the package and once they see how fun they are they might want more of them.
Mattel needs to know that people will not buy a car they already have just to get a free Micro Drifter. These will rot on the pegs for the next 2 years.
Well, Francesco, Finn, Lightning and Mater have already been released as Micro Drifters, so unless it’s some sort of different facial expression or an entirely new Micro Drifter I won’t be buying it.
Met’s referring to the 1:55’s not the Micro Drifters.
So does that mean that the Micro Drifter will not be the same as the 1:55? I thought if the Diecast was a Finn the Micro Drifter was a Finn.
Yes the wise thing to do would be to sell a sought after or new single in with a microdrifter. That would be a way to get some collectors to buy a drifter just for the car and maybe hook them in. However if thet are repeat pegwarmers than its another release that won’t move.
Really? They think including a Micro Drifter of the same Car free might get us to buy them? I’ve decided not to buy Micro Drifters… and have not, even seeing wave 2 of the 3 packs on Sunday.
Make it a free Metallic Finish version of the Car and we might go for it… or a Super Chase.
