Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Pink Radiator Springs McQueen – Canon?
Not much happens at the Oil Pan these days – ever since that Vespa “I’m Not a Girl” Shanon barkeep left town screaming about needing to be at a place where there were more trees … it’s been quiet at the place next to Ramone’s until the other day when this fancy BMW tacked up a sign …
“SCENE 95 … Pink Radiator Springs – He’s There! Behold and believe!
Signed “Buckland Blowouts.”
Canon? Or Heretic?
Does the hue from the setting Sun set cast a golden hour shadow upon Radiator Springs McQueen – really constituting the most accurate detailed variant?
Or merely an error from the hands of man?
Canon? Holy Variant?
Mortal Sin? Venial Sin?
What Say You?
We await your judgment.

went though about 30 H cases and found 4 pinky radiator springs lightning mcqueen on race o rama card. so there in the H case cases and some lenticular cards have them i havent found them though.
I think calling this a variant is reaching pretty hard and far to me.
It’s just bad quality control.
I have seen a few of these in Colorado Springs, CO. Just was not interested.
Yeah, I thought this was old, old news. Something about the red bleeding through the tampo. Not an error, just a very cheaply made toy!!
It’s a mistake. And since it’s so common, it’s a variant.
Even if he was painted that horrid pink on purpose his, teeth would still be white… I don’t think blushing transfers to your teeth! It’s just a horrible mistake, and it’s sad that Mattel didn’t recall that shoddy craftsmanship. Watch out France next time they run out of promos they might start sending “Bubblegum” McQueen, sans launcher. And that will not be worth the same amount!
i thought the pinkish one, was a waste of space. so he is still at the store. lol
oh yeah, just like the mack transport with a black trailer, big deal. i NEED more cars,cars,cars,cars. not different colors of the same car.
Bling Bling is done! Nothing too spectacular but a nice effect nonetheless!!

Looks great Dude!
nice work!
What do you get when you cross Cars with Wallace and Grommit??

Yay, just got back from target and picked up 2 of the 3 flo’s girls and 2 of the 3 cousins.
NO I’M NOT CAVING TO THE STORYTELLERS! I got the cousins and one of the girls for my buddy.
The girls are from the deleted scenes so I consider it cannon – so there.
They SHOULD have named it “BLUSHING Radiator Springs McQueen”.
Has to be a variant, its too common now, since pinkie is being found worldwide. We have been seeing this pink RSMcQ for what, a year now?
If it was an error, surely it would have been fixed by now?
If it was a legitimate variations, Mattel would have labeled it and packaged it as “Bloodshot Eyes McQueen,” who drank too much Rust-Eze! If there was only one small shipment of these, then it would be a variation. Otherwise, it is nothing but poor workmanship. Maybe, it’s “Candy Cane McQueen?”
cool pics and great effort, but I am goin g with error
Just another production GOOF.
My wife picked up a Lightning Ramone that she says looks “orange”. Since I’m color blind, I don’t see it, much like this McQueen.
Lightning Ramone IS Orange.
Shows how much my eyes deceive my color perception; I’ve always thought he was red. 😛
Me too!
really my lightning ramone is red.
All oh the cars in the walmart 10 dollar make transport deal are like this …its aweful..definately a mistake
LOL should be MACK Transport LOL
… and “definately” is definitely a mistake, too.
Those were stocked at Big Lots over two months ago. Tossed it back in the pile of cars…not interested at all.
I also have one of these. found it almost a year ago at a store in maryland. Picked it up because I thought it was unusual.
ditto
I take the whole scene into account really…
McQueen is seein’ Sally for the first time since the last big race and maybe he is blushin’!!!
But when you watch the movie in real time…. and not just the stills from above, you just might rethink your stance on this one!!!
Funny to think those add wizards may have had something to do with it!!!
Than again it does really look like they cheaped out on paint!
I only bought it because the one I found was really really pink and it was so unusual. Now I know its everywhere. I also have one where the white is pure white.
That’s exactly why I bought mine too.
I say in cases like this, it’s good to be colorblind. At least I don’t have the dilemma of choosing whether or not to buy this so-called “variant”, since I can’t see the difference between this one and the original one anyway. 😀
Hey Edge, would you like to buy a Blu-Ray MQ? (kidding)
That is wrong….
Funny, but wrong.
I have seen TONS of these error RS McQueens in stores here in Belgium, both lenticular and regular. If anyone wants one of these, contact me: cinder@skynet.be
ever since that Vespa “I’m Not a Girl” Shanon barkeep left town screaming about needing to be at a place where there were more trees …
AHEM….is that your way of saying you miss my domination of the posting board?? Or are you flirting with me again Met??
(MET: Only if you’re legal in the right state).
Check your calendar big guy — today is “Pick On A Canadian Hockeydad” day in the U.S. (POACH for short).
lmbo
I think its bad quality control
on the other hand this is showing up… looks cool!

THAT IS AWESOME!
Now if only the Crew Chief w/Pitty sets weren’t so overpriced…
old news
Is that real?
Nay I say………Purely a mistake…….although people will see what they want to see……
Error!
Otherwise they would have named it “Setting Sun Radiator Springs MQ” to capitalize on sales.
yeah…. I am not seeing any pink on the movie McQueen.. maybe I need to adjust the color on my computer or drink what you guys are drinkin….
1st~!
See Jack, only pre-pubescent pimply faced teenagers are programmed to do such childish things as post innane useless dialoque!
