Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Mater Tall Tales – High Dive Mater INCOMING!
Arriving in Megasize packaging, CASE C is shipping or has arrived in stores …
Yep, he’s #6 so we did skip one … or we’ll have to circle back to $#5 …Is he the first bubble blister that points downward? Was there a heated debate in packaging – Up or Down? Ascension? Descendant? Skyward? Earthbound? Soaring? Plunging? Free? Gravity?
Should I go on?
Or maybe the meeting turned into a riot because someone brought donut holes instead of actual doughnuts?
Packed to the gills with details.
Does he float?
First ever diecast car with scuba mask and hose?

I have that car! He’s funny!
Found High Dive Mater this morning in wm. very nice!
Perhaps like the Mercedes-Benz Bionic concept car from 2005:

I wonder how the fishes in the world of Cars would look like? Same like the volkswagen bugs?
Yellow Submarines?
Did anyone else see the ending bid for BESSIE from our favorite Ebay seller in Hong Kong?

Hey let’s spend $75 on something we can have for 1/10th that price in 30 days!
“Meet Bessie. The finest road pavin’ machine ever built!”
And only $75.00!!!
Sorry, that should be: “This here’s Bessie. The finest road pavin’ machine ever built!”
Want to keep those lines accurate!
very nice, and also very tempting, however i will wait until the 4 packs come out seeing how most of the mater the greater singles will be in the 4 packs.
are you sure about that? I mean 4 pack coming out?
Met said check back tomorrow for more checklists.
I too am waiting for the 4 packs…..all 4 of them $$$!
I didn’t see it at K-Mart. In fact they were pretty wiped out, which was surprising because I was in 1-2 weeks ago & they had the pallet and a bunch of MTT singles. It was where I picked up all the ones I needed. But Saturday-no pallet and hardly any new cars.
Found it on Kmart event on Saturday..very cool!!
I really love the MTT Cars, they’ve started to take precedence over the mainline stuff in my collection. And as a bonus, they’re cheaper than the “Classic” stuff at Target.
Is this one coming out in the 4pk later? I thought I had seen it listed with a 4pk.
(MET: See checklist tomorrow
).
I believe he is in the 4-Pack, but not any time soon. I tried to order the Case B and C 4-packs and my rep told me that not even manual orders can be submitted at this time.
I will say that High Dive Mater is probably my favorite Toons release so far.
The details in the mask, snorkel, and his lips around the snorkel really make it a work of art.

Mater the Greater – Superstar Paint Job
El Materdor – who wants to guess what the package will say?
Is this for real, or a custom?

Senor Paint Job?

Sparkling Paint Job?
Found one at Walmart yesterday, so they should be popping up everywhere very soon.
Cool! I am going to have to go hunting for this one today!
i cant wait to find this one!!!!
Bet I find it first
hahahah
Smackdown in Joplin Missouri!!!
Tickets! Tickets! Who needs tickets?!?
WANT WANT WANT!
NEED NEED NEED!
Very nice. However I find it amazing as Sam has pointed out on another recent tall tale post, the amount of characters and sets Mattel is making based on the 4 short Cars Toons episodes released so far. At this rate the Cars Toons line is going to surpass the whole regular Cars line soon. Especially considering everything released in the Cars Toons line is from just two of the shorts and with 3 more Tall tales shorts coming that could be an awful lot of items. I am not complaining, the more the better for us but just an observation that this line could ultimely wind up with quite a vast number of vehicles. El Matador Mater is the one I am most looking foward to though. He looked Awesome in an earlier post. Father Chuck, greiving Mia and Tia, Bulldozers and all the rest. I say bring them on. By the way I believe it’s been announced when the three new shorts will air. Does anyone have the infomation on that?Thanks
(MET: Last word was 11/20 – will update with times hopefully as we get closer).
You’re right — this line is starting to remind me of the Happy Meals Cars Toys 3 years ago — they had something like 32 variations of 8 or 9 characters. Green Ramone looking left, Green Ramone looking right. Doc Hudson looking up, Doc Hudson looking down. Etc., etc., etc.
But still, Collect ‘em All!!
Don’t forget sad little Guido, next to the priest!
I’ve said it before, Disney and Mattel are using the Mater’s Tall Tales/Toons items to fill in the gaps and slow down the release of the CARS movie items, in order to minimize the gap between collectibles from CARS and CARS 2.
How we’re EVER going to see 36 Haulers in our collections is beyond me, based on their “rate of release”. How long was the time frame between Trunk Fresh Hauler and Nitroade Hauler?
Maybe a MSOS-type box set of Haulers? Could you imagine THAT??!?
DUDE !!!!
What a Freaking GREAT IDEA!!!!!
With Pitties, Crew Chiefs, Hauler and RAcer….all in one RV, cuz that is how big it wood have to be!
Cannot wait to see him on the peg!! He is awesome!! Hmmm . . . I wonder if I can find a Barbie pool to customize with RED WHITE and BLUE . . . .then I can suspend High Dive Mater from the ceiling . . . falling into the pool!!
yes!!
great idea!
You have to have Lug and Nutty waiting next to the pool, ready to throw their “arms” up after he lands!
Awesome. Loving these.
High Dive Mater is definitely awesome… I was lucky enough to find a couple at Kmart during the $5.99 sale…
Yup, found them at a Kmart near us last Friday!
Tim – this is one I won’t have to beg from you for – LOL
)
My mom walked into a KMart yesterday and found 1 single one, all by himself with the Toy Story stuff — called and asked if I had already gotten it for Aiden (and I hadn’t) – so that will go in his Halloween box with Sarge’s Boot Camp
Are you interested in adopting? You’d only have to get me the newest stuff, as I come with my own collection!
Tim – works well for me – though being my other son may be a bit weird. My brother maybe. You and Theresa could just move in with mom, she’s just “down the road” some – LOL
You can have my old room, and Aiden and I will have Aiden’s room when we come to visit.
LOL — i’ve always wanted a sibling !!!
didnt know halloween was a gift giving day
It is when you are an only child (Me) and have an only child (Aiden) — LOL
EVERY day is a gift giving day
)
Do you have your Halloween tree up and decorated?
(I think if stores thought they’d sell, they’d be on the market!)
Awesome. Can’t wait to get one of these. Love the detail
