Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Disney Store El Materdor – Olé on the Details!
Not sure how many are left on the shelves …
And yes, they are larger than the Mattel scale but they are nice and nicely detailed …
Lightning McQueen in his bullfighting montera (did you know that’s what the hat is called?) If not, once again, you are smarter for having read TakeFive 🙂
Waiting on real gold foil version 🙂
Golden!
And McQueen is the dull boy of this set.
Olé!
The cape is sort of removeable – I think you can remove it with a little force or ask a 2-year old. It will off there and lost in seconds 🙂
If I could get these hubcaps, it would sure spiff up my ride …
But that’s just part of the details …
It’s the tooth!
Not just two or but a full set of teeth* just in case you wanted to peer into the mouth of Mater.
*well, one side of his mouth …
This El Materdor set is only available in stores but the Mater the Greater set is available online.

Ok i am positive Dr.Hudson ANd GitrDone have posted something on this and i cant find them anywhere can anyone tell me?
Is the Mater the Greater set also in the larger (1/43) size? It looks like they used the same basic mold for Mater’s mouth so I assume so. Also, it is being sold by Disney.
(MET: Yea, larger size).
Finally something in Canada – but wish it was 1:55…
well don’t you know? Racecars don’t need headlights because the track is always lit.
Ah man!! 🙁 But lucky ya’ll 🙂 Have a lovely Christmas Break not wondering what you made on your exam!
this set is very cool..i like IT!
I have said it since I first saw it. Even though I have only collected Matell before, El Materdor Mater from the Disney Store is the nicest Mater ever made yet. Whereas the size of the regular Cars I perfer Matells, Mater is great in this size. These are well made also. They are heavy almost like a mini Tonka truck. They are beautifully crafted as well. Plus gauging from the interest of the casual Cars buyer, the people love it. I have received an incredible amount of postive feedback from many I have sent the set too. Even hardened Matell Disney Cars collectors say it’s great.
The El Materdor Mater is amazing!
Ladies & Gentlecars,
We did it right the first time. Happy Holidays to all, each and every one of us.
Wishing you a safe and happy holiday! Great to hear from you again.
HTB,
Australia – we say Merry Christmas. Personally I am not a fan of the Happy Holidays being used in Australia. I have no problems with the Yanks dsaying it but I think we need to retain our own identity.
In any case Martin – Merry Christmas and my boys even though they don’t know it will be eternally grateful to you for their Christmas presents (lots of Cars and Haulers)
I can’t wait to see your sculpts in my hands Martin! There is no comparison, surely. Happy Holidays 🙂
I need a sneak preview of Miss Mia Senorita… please!
Whazz up Doc? You missed a few of the best ones! 🙄 😥 😡 & 😎 And always leave a space in front of the emoticon (smilies) or they will not work. ➡ 😐 😕
Awesome stufffffff!!!!!!!!
Just want to eat those!!! And to quote the Fabulous Doc Met… THE BEST TOY LINE EVER!!!!!!
This is a great set ….picked it up for a LOVELY friend I know …. but none for us …I will wait for the 1:55’s ……cuz they will be AWESOME, too! 🙂
Me too Jeff! I like the Disney ones, but there is just something slightly “off”. Its kind of hard to define but just a feeling. Plus they are just too big. Probably better for 3 year olds tho.
You’re hung up on how bad Mater looks aren’t you? Most of the cars have been really well done. I like them a bunch and I’ve been picking them up super cheap too. With the buy one get one free a couple weeks back I was able to pick up the four light up tunerz for $15. What a sweet deal. Also I don’t know if anyone else noticed this about the disney store cars but they are definately more chip resistant.
so you don’t have a 2-4 year old throwing the cars accross the floor and into the walls? Lucky you. 🙂
That’s the main reason I like the Minis so much – they’re like a Fisher Price toy – indestructible
I hate the chips on my cars i need some touch up paint 😆
😳
Come on I’m Frying my eyeballs on the computer just waiting for the results on the Jason P. Custom Cars Contest!!
(MET: Results in just a few minutes or 692 minutes to be precise).
Thanks!! very good DETAIL 🙂 like it says in the post! You know can you tell me who is in the top ten? 🙂
Thank You SOOOO Much!!!!!!! It means the world to me that you say that! And you shouldn’t doubt yourself you have a good chance of making it into the top ten as well
Yeah
OOPs i forgot
MET it has been way more than 692 minutes
(MET: Yea, I knew there was something I was supposed to do … ooops, tomorrow morning, I promise, running the RANDOM CHOOSER now …).
mantera?
Mantra
he does look cool though
Sorry, you guys are both wrong — it’s “montera”.
Yeah, that’s what MET originally said…
MET originally had “mantera” but I see he snuck in the correction now! 🙂
WOW Cars are coming back at the disney store according to what i’m hearing hear on T5 I wouldn’t know because ours closed 🙁
I LOVE the disney sets! they seriously are awesome!
Me too! All of the Disney cars are fun. Of course… the Mattel ones are mostly better quality…. The disney ones are a fun addition, especially at Buy 1, Get 1 free!
