Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: Blessed It Are the CARS Collector – The Popemobile Miracle
Holy See, Il Papa CAR!
Of course, he cannot see all of his diecast flock without a little help …
The Pope & Popemobile coming separately to the DELUXE (oversized) lineup very soon. Thanks for the nice pics, SlicePie.
But a major ecumenical question has been pressing on our brain … no, not the one about the Pope CAR being the woods with the bear … no, does the Pope actually fit into the Popemobile?
“Luca, it is a beautiful CARS cabinet here in San Di-ago, we should go for a drive!”
What? You were expecting me to hop in, of course, there is a ramp …
Of course I fit! You think the Pope doesn’t know to measure twice and build once?
You pagan doubter!
For that, you must do penance by helping the poor and buy your CARS only at CVS. And only on bended cards.
Please reverse, meep-meep … Il Papa coming through.
Please think of the poor children – no hoarding of the oversized lineup.

I’m a believer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spotted these at the Buy-n-Large yesterday! ;o)
I heard they are opening up one of those around the corner from here next week 😉
Buy n Large, your Superstore!
All you need and so much more!
Happiness is what we sell!
Everyone loves BnL!
I guess that maybe we will finally get a couple stores where Kingpin Nobunagas, Lewis Hamiltons, and Lizzies are abundant, and Okuni, Shigeko, Frank Clutchenson, Mater w/ Bomb, and Ronnie Del Cooper are made as Singles! 😀
If they can put WalMart out of business, then Wall-E will come true!
Really, really like this set. Will buy them for sure, finding them on the peg is another story.
Will these ever come out ?
Is the popemobile catholic ?
I don’t see this one being at the top of my son’s list. He loves all the action cars, mostly the racers. But Finn and Frank get love too. Some of these other ones, no so much.
Pinion Tanaka international is on eBay.
from canada – last time I saw pinion …
Target is resetting next week. Stores here are still on case D Mega/Deluxe. Pope Pinion is supposed to be in Deluxe case G with the Queen Car. Mattel is hitting us with two cases of pegwarmers before this release. Anyone know the case letter for the Popemobile?
Betting these will be released just in time for the holy days.
Unless we get a Moses Mobile to part the bloody sea of peg warmers i fear that we will never see these. Can you believe i still haven’t seen kingpin or hydro? yet i still search in vain, with holly and finn falling from the overflowing pegs and hitting me on the head – adding insult to injury.
Uhhh, who are Kingpin and Hydro??? 😉
We have about 6 or 7 Hydrofoil Finn McMissile at my Wal-Mart but NO Kingpin. As Kenan Thompson says, “WHAT UP WITH THAT?” 😛
yeah, what up with that? this is familiar of the time when everybody else and their sister had sally with cones. us in AZ? nothing. or the lizzie that my folks had no problem of finding in illinois. here? nothing. oh well, what fun would it be if you could find whatever you want wherever you went? oh yeah, it would be a freakin’ blast! but only for that one quick moment, then there would be a big empty feeling. actually, its a lot like on may 15th when we loaded the shopping cart with cars 2, then haven’t even needed a shopping basket since then. but i’ll keep looking, hoping. and now praying.
Ah yes, “What Up With That?”. The lone shining star in the vacuum of time that has become SNL.
we had 11 kingpin at our walmart last week and about 30 hydrofoil finn. Our shelves are over stocked with megas/light up and shake go. At least 2 side endcaps of them.
very few 2 packs and no singles.
it is not bad… I have not seen single kingpin here or hydrofoil finn in the wild yet…
I guess I would be using “calling friend” line….
Now I “believe” a set will be done having both of them with Padre and why not an exclusive car???… “The Alter Boy (Guido)”. I also “have faith” the lost sheeps (ex-collectors) will coming back when these will hit the pee-ee-ee-eegs…
Is the Pope really going to be in the deluxe line? In the SDCC case the Popemobile was displayed alongside rest of the deluxe cars but the Pope was with the regular size cars.
The Pope doesn’t quite look big enough to be deluxe. Even Hydraulic Ramone was released in the regular line.
(MET: The Pope was originally listed as an “oversized” (deluxe) but might have been moved to the singles lineup).
The mitre (hat) might be too big for standard packaging, just like Padre was. Hopefully this will just be the price of a single just like Padre was (at least that’s what Wal-Mart did — some stores made it Deluxe priced).
Padre was the price of a single? I never got him so I wouldn’t know…
Wal-Mart deemed Padre a single, but Toys R Us and Gerbes (Kroger) made him Deluxe-priced. I don’t recall ever seeing him at Target or Kmart, so I can’t quote pricing there.
Hmm, I never saw him at Walmart. I was anti-Toon until recently anyway, I missed my chance. Now I can’t even get the pegwarming Orderly Pitties without paying out the wazoo…
Yes you can. Email me, I have a lot of extras from the early toon releases that I am dying to unload. I’ll give you a great price!

Sweet! Thanks!
I got my Padre at my Wal-Mart for the normal Single Price. I left there with a happy wallet that day!
i found our padre (finally) about a month ago at fry’s (kroger) grocery store of all places, marked down to $6. then i went on the hunt to other fry’s and picked up the final toons like bye bye car, yojimbo, etc.
Aww the Popemobile is cute!
Funniest post ever, Met. The door is sooo sweet.
Will we see this is an eBay sale for charity in the future?
I meant…. Will we see this as an eBay sale for charity in the future?
Wow, must have. I like clear walls…. super cool
Wow, seeing the real thing makes my PhotoShop rendering look spot on! Only if I had known this post was coming I would’ve spent that hour doing something else.
I wish I could get the tokyo mater collection. I have no tokyo mater cars. If you have any then tell me via e-mail.
shagoon236@aol.com
wow, wow, wow, wow, is all I have to say !!!! awsome !!
Awesome! Yeah my CVS has Lenticular DJ, Wilmarr Flattz, and Chase Mater with oil can for 8 bucks a pop, sheesh.
I’m not Catholic… but I definitely appreciate these 2 Cars… I see 3 of each in my future… one for the display case… one for my grandchildren to play with… and one to keep carded.
Even though I am not collecting these, I have to admit that this set is pretty darn cool!
WOW! Someone MUST be catholic at Pixar eh?!?!
Think there is gonna be a Vatican Playset?
Trimmed with real gold?
I want! Yes, please, NO HOARDING – so hard to get these things at normal, retail prices….
These are great! And a nice value, too…the set for under $20. Surprised they bothered with the ramp.
Holy Popemobile Batman!
Holy Used Motor Oil!
AMZING!! At least Mattel got THIS one right 😉 hey … that looks familiar … hmmm … where have I seen that back drop for …. HEY …. that’s a SDCCC CABINET!! MORE …. MUST HAVE MORE!!!! Come onnnnnnnnnnn Met!! 😀
So these are the ones from SDCC…wow, if the showpiece ones even have marked-up and spotty eyes, I guess there’s little hope for better QC in the future…maybe I should lower my collector’s standards.
Hey, Met’s camera was just so good it was picking up every speck of dust that the Pope Mobile caught on his trip into the case … or .. maybe those are insect guts that smacked him in the eyes as he fled with the Pope to escape a possible threat. 😀
NEAT!!!!
