Thanks for the great photos, “John H.” Going by the film screenshot, Mattel’s Mayday is a better size-scale comparison to the Disney Store Ryker. Mattel Mayday with Disney Store Ryker & DS Red. Mattel Mayday looks nice as long as you don’t park Disney Store Mayday next to it. Thanks for the great pics, “John […]

On the surface, Mattel’s version of Mayday is nice … Lots of fun details. Good realism of a working truck. Fun “dirty” looking. Unlike the Disney Store one, no dented front fender. Unless it’s an important plot point, it seems to be a minor thing. But the front grill does seem pretty weak. A little […]

Strange launch of a mini-major property, Planes Fire & Rescue … there seems to be no street date and no one at Mattel seems to admit there’s a street date or a hold-by date for product … so it’s out … unless it’s not out. Plus as you can tell, not everything has arrived. The […]

The 8-pack will feature Mattel’s CARS/PLANES Group’s new go-to design … Tucked inside will be 3 PLANES, 4 Smoke Jumpers & Marv, the mechanic Pitty.  

Who doesn’t love the airport fire vehicle (from Rosenbauer?) Going by the screenshot, clearly he should be much bigger than Mayday … So as great as the Disney Store Mayday in his detailing and heavyweight metal, he is clearly oversized. DS Ryker might be a better fit with Mattel’s Mayday?   Ryker looks great next […]

There are listing for a couple playsets … Maru’s Fuel Stop And the “hangout” of the Smoke Jumpers – is it also just a giant shed?

“Mack Me Bucko” & “John H.” sends along great pics of Disney Store’s Mayday. Nice looking scaled to Mattel’s Lightning McQueen. Disney Store Chug. Sweet looking details. Appropriately “used.” Just looks right. The Disney Store one has a fun bumper detail. Sized next to DS Ryker & Mattel Red. Nice! Thanks for the great pics, […]

Looks like fun for kids … Scoop & Spray – good for Firefighter Dusty – not so much for a pet. 🙂

At first, it seemed the new Smoke Jumper Pitty’s were too small to be included in the regular singles lineup (CARS Pitty’s generally either came with accessories or were doubled up) but thanks to “Mack Me Bucko,” we can see they are new generation of Pitty’s like Muggsy Liftsome, Pitty in name only. Kind of […]

Mattel’s Planes Fire & Rescue Deluxe Windlifter is super nice. Great detailing. Windlifter is more complicated where it’s diecast metal and where it’s plastic. His face and the top half of the back tail area are diecast metal – there are plastic portions in and out within – in either case, it’s not a huge […]
