Mattel Disney PLANES: French Rochelle Arrives in France
“Anthony C.” sends along nice photos of “French Rochelle.” As you know, Rochelle is repainted in other language version of PLANES. This is the French version which is mostly the same as the US English version.
The US English version has the words “powder” on the body (or is it ‘ponder?’). The French version basically replaces the words with a large 22. The graphics on the tail/stablizer is also different (see below).
This is the US diecast release.
On card.
The different cardbacks.
Thanks for the great photos, “Anthony C!”
The French version of Rochelle is scheduled for a US release. There are no listings for any of the other versions (yet).

I saw my first Rochelle at Target today in C. Virginia
I’ve seen her at Walmart in Maryland along with Franz.
Rochelle has been at Target and Walmart. I’ve seen her 3 times, but not lately.
The word looks like it is powder. Maybe as in powder puff for powder puff derby or sports?
Has anyone seen regular US version of Rochelle on the pegs?
I did find one Franz finally, at a Target in Southeast Michigan

I have seen her at Walmart and Rite Aid in SW Michigan.
