Mattel Disney Toon PLANES: Deluxe Versions Coming With “Avionics”
Mattel also has “deluxe” versions coming – only three announced …
Turbo Dusty, Bravo & El Chupacabra …
These all have mini batteries so it seems clear they will have sounds – unlike CARS, there’s no headlights on planes so maybe they will skip the ‘lights’ portion? (They will probably not bother to add mini lights on a normal plane – but hard to tell in this photo).
Since PLANES have much more room to stuff in toy avionics … er, sounds much cooler than saying a tiny speaker, batteries and a chip, right?
It seems most likely these are metal (just like the metal L&S CARS 2 releases from 2011) … as it’s also cheaper & easier if re-use the diecast bodies from the singles lineup.
They are probably waiting until the film comes out as not to give away dialogue.
But if these are metal, that will be pretty nice to have a scale version with sounds.

it’s kind of misleading because the picture shows the large plastic talking versions
Disney was selling them but are all sold out except Bravo and Echo. They both talk and have lights on the wings but are plastic not die cast. The ones on target’s web site appear to be the same ones. Perhaps Mattel has a new version they are sitting on that is smaller and die cast. That would be nice.
(MET: Yes, I Think there are two different L&S versions … I think these are diecast metal but until they’re released …).
The Disney Store ones are different from these.
I don’t think these are metal Target and TRU have El Chup on their sites for $30 I believe.

Lots of talking Planes and the Target talking end cap already in the wild. Also Planes books with CDs in them.
