Prior to the recent re-release, we had 3 releases of Dragon Lightning McQueen in 2009 and 2010. Since each of these have different names, they are VERSIONS and not VARIANTS. Dragon Lightning McQueen (clean and smiling). Metallic Dragon Lightning with Oil Stains (and angry mouth) Dragon Lightning with Oil Stains (and grimace) Now, normally, variants […]

A giant Mack Transporter for your Radiator Springs 500½ diecasts. Thanks for the pic, “Adam S.”

“DawsonsToyBox” has sent along an interesting find … A smiling Dragon Lightning McQueen – error or variant? Normal expression Dragon Lightning McQueen. Annoyed … well, okay – Tough Guy LM. So as of now – error Dragon Lightning McQueen unless you find a bunch of them, then VARIANT! Thanks for the photo and heads up, […]

The diecasts line that goes with this Toon were revealed yesterday. This is the playset that goes with it … though with the real world situation going on in the region, I wonder if the Toon will be changed to another wintry location … “Disney•Pixar Ice Racers toon, Lightning McQueen and friends race in Russia.

“John H.” sends along nice pics of the latest Radiator Springs 500½ diecast release – Off Road Mater. He doesn’t actually appear in this short but it’s still a pretty fun diecast. The rest is pretty nice – the front tow package is a little cheap plasticky looking … All the released Toon diecasts so […]

It should be noted that ALL 11 WGP racers are listed including Rip! There is a new […]

There’s a new “Cavern” playset for your Radiator Springs 500½ Toon diecasts.

Coming in Wave 2 … “Fillmore with Jugs” Off-Road Mater “Old Timer Sarge.” The names for Fillmore & Sarge are unofficial. There is one other unidentified release, it simple reads “RS500 Diecast.” It seems unlikely that it’s Ramone as RS500 Ramone is not “oversized” and thus priced accordingly like the others in this Toon series […]

Walmart has an exclusive on Toon re-releases … Komodo looks like unibody variant. Komodo’s mouth used to be a plastic plate, now just a unibody diecast. Kabuto Ninja has not made it out yet but it looks like it’s been upgraded to a unibody also … but the evidence is ONLY based on this official […]
