Photos courtesy of “Nikko” and “Disney.” Artist demoing how diecasts are created. He must be real – it’s a Toyfair Lightning McQueen. Did anyone offer a slice of Convention Center pizza as a trade? Different display from SDCC. A lot of wasted empty space … too bad no one brought the 2014 diecast CARS. That […]

The Convoy Brothers have successfully moved from the Anaheim Convention Center to a nice comfy hotel room. Housekeeping will wonder who goes to Costco to load up on Motor Oil while on vacation? 🙂 BTW, tax is NOT included in the $100 price of the Convoy Brothers. So, it’s really $108 for the set or […]

In addition to the Convoy Brothers, Mattel is selling a Mini Buzz Lightyear from the short “Small Fry” as mini Buzz is a “happy meal” toy, so why not an entire happy meal to go with it! It’s unknown if the fries are 3D or 2D cardboard – but I guess when you get one […]

Disney Store Light Up Tuners DJ & Wingo have returned! But only so far in the UK Disney store. You will be asked if you’re certain you want to visit the Disney store UK if you’re not in the UK. They have updated the box. Presumably this means these will be back in the US […]

The new Snot Rod with Flames is rolling out … there is already a variant “flames,” version. This is the opaque one that is more clear at the base of the flame. There is another version where the “clear yellow” version starts at base and extends all the way up. This is the production date […]

Last September, Mattel threw a launch party for Micro Drifters – it took a while but they finally starting drifting out in late Spring – and it looks like the last 3 3-packs completes nearly everything shown at the party. The remaining 2 Tuners – DJ & Boost. Kabuto & Yokoza Toon Tuners. And Red […]

The Ramone O Rama box set also features a “Yellow” Lightning McQueen on the back (it looks Green but “Quercy” who sent in the photo says it’s yellow). “Quercy” also says the Disney Store employee told him it was an exclusive and not going to be in the Disney Stores – a Disney Store D23 […]
