It looks like the retail powers to be (the ones with the marketing purse strings) have made the big move from CARS to PLANES … PLANES is now marketing-wise, a world above CARS – CARS, the PLANES Flanker brand if you want to get all details-ugly. With the movie coming out today and the DVD […]

If you’re having problems assembling your PLANES Gift Set Tent-Hanger … take a few deep breaths and this Mattel supplied photo might help you complete this threading the needle through the magnetic plutonium casing scenario … Try and place the stick-end of the flag thingee into the concave-hole portion of the plastic tent – in […]

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 […]

This looks pretty cool if it works … Basically, you can fling the Micro Drifter PLANE (or CAR) up the ramp so it hits the clear loop and send it across to the track …It seems you might be sending a lot of PLANES into the air and miss the ramp entirely – or maybe […]

“John H.” sends along photos of the new Micro Drifter Take Off Launcher … Packaging makes it look a tad cooler but it’s still cute. 🙂 PLANES are about the size of a CARS Micro Drifter. Which makes sense so they all work in the launcher … But “John H.” says it doesn’t exactly launch […]

There are 5 Micro Drifters 3-packs listed – 4 are listed as Target exclusives … “John H.” has found the latest/last one: Bravo, Hector and Supercharged Dusty And the first three spotted by “Rob (My 6 Kids).” Dusty, Leadbottom & Skipper. Ishani, Zed (but really Ned) & Ripslinger. And Rochelle, El Chup & Bulldog. As […]

No surprise, Disney is not kidding around to launch PLANES. “John H.” sends along pics of his Target and what every Target in America will look like soon. John H. notes, “The display has a Dusty on the backboard with an electric motor that spins the prop and on one side down low a control […]

As requested, “Nikko” snapped some nice shots of the PLANES cabinet closer in … Most of the diecasts were already revealed in this post but still nice to see either real diecasts or at least the prototypes out in the open. Rochelle looks good sized. Here’s Ned and Zed (technically, we’ve never seen Zed as […]

Rob (My 6 Kids) has also spotted the Micro Drifter PLANES … Dusty, Leadbottom & Skipper. Ishani, Zed & Ripslinger. Rochelle, El Chup & Bulldog. It looks like the full complement of the PLANES shown off so far in the trailer – and look, only one 3-pack with Dusty! Thanks for the nice photos, “Rob […]

Actually out on the show floor – PLANES – thanks for the photos, “John H!” He did all the hard work so you can decide what store(s) to shop at. Kmart … it’s unclear if PLANES products counts in the Ivan mail-away offer … if they do count, obviously, that’s nice – will someone call […]
