Thanks for the nice photos, “John H.” Nothing really too new unless you count the Riplash playsets. Not sure if Ishani came with the dump (new card?) or just placed there. Plastic smokejumper with this playset. Thanks “John H.” for the nice photos.

The latest Planes Fire & Rescue trailer is up: Plus a soundtrack clip:

“John H.” sends along great pics of Disney Store’s Windlifter. Also solid diecast metal. The removable tank is plastic. Next to Disney Store Hector Vector & Blade Ranger.   Looks larger than the Mattel version. Mattel’s Maru is HUGE but scaled to the Disney Store Planes. Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” You can […]

“John H.” sends along nice photos of the Disney Store’s version of Blade Ranger. As John H. notes, he’s solid diecast metal. Unlike the Mattel version which is split 50-50 metal & plastic body. Good scale next to Mattel’s Smoke Jumpers. Unlike Mattel’s, both doors open – though Mattel’s version contains a working hook. Comes […]

Thanks for the great pics, “John H.” We now know Cabbie has a last name and it’s McHale. Some people might not like that it’s stickered and not tampo decals. But it’s nice. And the main question? Yep, all the Mattel Smoke Jumpers diecasts released fit inside.   John H. says you can fit 3 […]

Here are some fun “WPA retro” posters for PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE. View and download at Moviefone. Based on these classic, iconic WPA Travel America Posters & art.

Here’s a nice size comparison if the Smoke Jumper Pitty’s have not shown up in your neck of the woods. Blackout is the only Smoke Jumper that’s close in size to nearly all other – and obviously much smaller. You can compare him to Dusty. Or Lightning. Blackout is about the height of Muggsy Liftsome […]

In a summer without a movie with a serious, heavweight toys release (other than Transformers), it seems that a successful property like Planes (2): Fire & Rescue would get a more seriously coordinated launch but this might be it … Thanks “John H.” for the sidekick photo at Walmart.   Looks like CASE A contents. […]

If you’ve got a question for the Mattel CARS & PLANES Design team, they might agree to answer it for you. 🙂 So, ask below and I’ll forward it to them. No promises. 🙂

Well, this certainly is the oddest named box set … At least we know the entire story of PLANES Fire & Rescue is not about a corn festival.* Sorry if I offended corn farmers – I enjoy the corn. I just do not want to see a movie about diecasts and planes watching corn grow. […]
