We have gotten “re-releases” of Toon 3-packs and Toon Deluxe (well, just Mater Wrestling Deluxe CARS) … now singles are coming – a little bit of everything from several Toons. This is CASE A – there’s 2 of everything except for the CARS with the 1. (Rocky & Eddie are in one single pack). A […]

Ice racers are definitely coming as the next, next Toon with a CARS series along with it. Besides, Ice Drifter Lightning McQueen, there is only a numbered listing, it appears to be the other 10 WGP racers but it’s hard to say for certain. It looks like in addition to the diecast versions from the […]

Of course, we’re still waiting on the next Toon and the accompanying diecast but the Toon after that appears to be “ice drift racing” themed. There is a diecast list but pretty vague other than “Ice Drifter Lightning McQueen.” Photo via Beautiful Vessel.

The Radiator Springs 500½ short is out (only viewable online or on your IOS device). The short features 4 off-road racers who come to town and challenge Lightning McQueen. There will be diecasts coming. Off Road Lightning McQueen & Sandy Dunes Shifty Sidewinder & Idle Threat … and Blue Grit. The open photos are in […]

The Radiator Springs 500½ Road Rally Toon is up on the Disney Movies Anywhere site so you can only watch it online there (Flash required) or on the “Disney Movies Anywhere” app for your iPhone, or iPad. Thanks for the heads up, “NASCAR Bronco.” All the regular characters are dressed in retro outfits … maybe […]

In 2011, Mattel & Disney gave away 500 CARS 2 Lightning McQueen’s at NY Toy Fair (the annual toy industry trade event in NYC). (And yep, T5 gave away one of the 500!). In 2014, Disney gave away a Lightning McQueen and a Dusty Crophopper at NY Toy Fair. The actual number is unknown but […]

The Neon Racer 4-pack has re-appeared at my local Target (still have never seen the singles). Or did some ebayer just return the 3 he couldn’t sell? 🙂 I still didn’t buy one as there was some quality issues on all the box sets … and of course, these weren’t around last week during the […]

“MacQueen from France,” sends along nice photos of the SDCC Neon Racer Lightning McQueen. Yes, diecast. This is “Toon Radiator Springs” look. (Shorts HERE). It does look nice in the dark – it won’t cause you nightmares, will it? Or is the $50 price for him and Neon Shu scary enough? 🙂 Well, I hope […]

Is the Neon Racers strange distribution due to the 2-pack coming to SDCC 2014? The Neon Racers seem to the first flanker brand success for the CARS line in a long time – yet, Target stores seem to have gotten ONE shipment and in most stores, they seem to have sold out – I don’t […]
