Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: The Mystery Transforming Dinoco Lightning McQueen
Thanks for the nice pics, “John H.”
Let’s get it out of the way – Mattel claims it is NOT a D23 Expo CAR so …
It is too nicely done to be a counterfeit. Unlike the country flag fakes or the multi-color LM’s – those were easy to do. This takes much more skill and too much effort so I’m going out on a limb and say it’s coming as an official diecast.
Since it’s not on the poster, it’s an exclusive.
It could be another Target Fall-Black Friday exclusive … that one worked pretty well. They sold a bunch at full price and then discounted the few remaining for Black Friday. This would look nice in a display box.

“RCcars5” sent along this perfect aligned screensnap of the transition that I forgot about …
Thanks for all the great pics, “John H.” and thanks “RCcars5” for the screensnap.

Those of us that already landed this, where did it come from if no one is claiming it as their exclusive? That said, where do I get mine? 🙂
I got 2 of these and both of them show that they were done as dinoco McQueen completely and the rusteze was added over it
if you turn them over you can see the blue paint on the bottom edege of the car all the way around
do any of the ones y’all got look this way?
Yes, mine has the blue base coat visible inside the body.
Some have Rusteze on the back bumper and some don’t.
Mine has the yellow “rookie band” on the rear bumper, as well as the Rust-eze logo on the tail.
Between the taillights? This one does not.
Well, under the tail lights, to be more technical. The “Medicated Bumper Ointment” tagline — but it is missing the rear “Rust-eze” between the tail lights.
And Met, the website is still messing up, I have to log out and in multiple times to see new posts.
(MET: I don’t think our WP site uses much java but is your java updated?)
I got my “split identity” LMQ last week — it is too nicely made to be a counterfeit, agreed. My only complaint is that the side windows in the blue Dinoco portion should be gray per the screen shot, so I painted mine.
(mine has a similar paint smudge on the roof just as this one does)
A dream boxset would include the alien sparkplugs.
Agreed!!
Oh Yeah!
