Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Dexter Hoover Waves You Home

The Final Lap Dexter Hoover is bringing home the checkered flag …

While the flag is on the left side in the packaging, it’s only positioned there in the blister as a packaging reason – less likely to get damaged cushioned within the blister AND so it doesn’t obscure the CAR.

The slot to hold the flag is on the “right” side.

He is different than Dexter Hoover with Yellow Flag …

As you can see, different expression and eye position … the flag is essentially the same of course but the flag stick being soft plastic* will tend to droop with time.

*Soft plastic is for safety reasons.

The face plate is slightly different (besides the expression).

But the side and back of the two Dexter’s are essentially the same …

And for those who quibble about the flag being on the wheel of the animated character, that’s a little hard to do on a diecast for design cost reasons – as you would need to design an add on piece that would continue to hold the flag up as the wheel turned – that would be complicated and fragile – easy to break on a tiny diecast.

The alternative is also I don’t think anyone would trade a Dexter Hoover with non-functioning wheels just to have the flag on the wheel. This is a fair compromise to get Dexter Hoover with different flags.

Ask for it by DPCI … Of course, that DPCI is for all Final Lap CARS.
