Upon closer look, it turns out Deluxe 2021 Arvy & Dr. Damage are variants. Dr. Damage has the eyelid line added … Arvy apparently ran through a BBQ propane explosion (but he’s still smiling). Rambulance … that’s funny right there … Last release of Arvy. The “non-smokey” version. Original Dr. Damage was a little more […]

There seems to be only 4 releases 2021 for the Radiator Springs 24 Hour Race Series diecasts … They call them ‘color shift paint’ and they are nice – metallic pearl. Flip Dover, Michael Rotor, Eric Braker & Sheldon Shifter. What the cards looked like.

We really only got one Fan Favorite this year, Team 95 & 51 Mater (Deluxe) but the line seems complete now. Fabulous Lightning McQueen is technically part of the line but he’s essentially the same as his other releases … Dinoco Cruz Ramirez (with tool chest). Team 51 Ramone with oil can. Team 95: Mater, […]

There are more Welcome to Radiator Springs diecasts coming to Target. Many of these are re-releases of former exclusive releases (such as ones in box sets) with the accessory so it’s a nice re-release. (of course, the new releases will have eyelid lines) Cactus Lightning McQueen Fillmore with Oil Cans. Lizzie with Radio Ramone with […]

2021 Deluxe was a solid year of releases, including the long, long time delayed Mater with Cone Teeth … also arrived delayed, Corporal Josh Coolant (though only delayed since CARS 2) … Rotor Turbosky is a slight variant but nothing very significant.

Okuni & Shigeko, the geisha girls from CARS 2 has been upgraded. They have always had the eyelid line but now Okuni & Shigeko are unibody, they had segmented face in their original release. Otherwise, not too different, the attached pieces are positioned slightly different but very slight.   The original segmented look.

For those not collecting updated eyelid lines, there were only 13 re-releases singles from previous years that you did not need to add … On the 1st pass, there seem to 46 returning releases now updated with the eyelid line … yes, it’s time to start the recap of 2021.

“MadMel” notes there are Santa CARS going for big bucks on eBay … it was very reasonably priced 11 years ago ,.. You can check out pics from our post back then HERE and HERE.

“GetMeCollectibles” has created a great custom to display your ‘Mater Saves Christmas’ Mater, Reindeer and Santa Car! Yes, you can order them from GetMeCollectibles – they come in black, “clear,” and white, but can get just about any color you want. You have to supply your own CARS. Looks perfect! You can get extra bases […]

Superfan Mia Tia, Bert & Christina Wheeland have been updated for 2021 as slight variants and eyelid lines. Superfan Mia Tia always had the eyelid line but the 2021 has a nice shiny overcoat while the earlier release was matte. And in case you can’t tell ’em apart, their license plates … Bert ad Christina […]
