Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: 2016 Fun 2-Packs Coming Soon
Thanks for the heads up and photo links, “John H!”
Hope we get more CARS 2 Pitty’s!
Jeff Gorvette’s Pitty & John Lassetire (plus chest!)
Lightning & Mater without Tires – what scale railroad tracks do we get?
And a couple of the Autobahn Society CARS … Heather Drifeng & Michelle Moteretta …
… though I am confused by the parenthesis around her name? Are they air quotes?
Oh, Hi 
Michelle Moteretta
Thanks for the heads up, “John H.”

Why do those Autobahn society cars have female names? According to the “Cars Finder” on the blu-ray, the 3 they showed are “gentlemen”….
Rather said “quotation marks” than (parenthesis) JK. Met… 😛
(MET: You’re right – brain going …).
Today the mailman brought Dan Sclarkenberg and Jeremy “Hotrod” Malo. Now if they are a two pack, that’ll be the real deal! I’ve been waiting on Dan since those prototypes were offered back in 2010.
Jeremy has smaller wheels in front than in the rear, a cute little touch.
Also got a Precision Series Ramone (with the up/down wheels). Not real impressed with Ramone — I expected a greater range of motion on the wheels, not just “they extend by 6mm”.
Pics?
I’ll send some off to Met today!
I got Drifeng and Motoretta in the mail yesterday. Both are nicely done, but pretty bland, especially when placed with Sedanya as a trio. In short, they are new tooling, but so close to the old “Valerie Veate” design that almost no one would notice (in fact, I had stocked three Veate to do my own custom repaints some time ago).
Also got Brake Boyd yesterday. He’s far nicer, new sculpt, nice expression, good looking car!
