Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Expanding Universe CARS Expand Into a Hot Dense Diecast State …
The CARS universe like ours is ever expanding … into the happiest place on Earth sphere … you know the one in Orlando and Anaheim* …
Coming in the next few weeks to Disneyland and DisneyWorld ONLY are three additional diecasts …
(They are made by Mattel and 1:55 scale)
Pirate Mater.
Goofy Mater.
And Lightning Mickey.
They are scheduled for late April-early May so they should be out very soon. I’m sure when the State Farm Agents on a Mission Tour hits Orlando next month, they’ll be available but drop us a line when you see them at the Theme Parks. Presumably they will be available online – maybe by this summer but no official word if it will be.
The backstory to these are simply that after a bruising world tour, Lightning & the gang decided to drop by Disneyland … so there are a couple other interesting CARS that are just part of the other merchandise (but not diecasts) …
Guido the pin collector. 🙂
Luigi …
And the bugs … just to taunt you …
Luigi (pin collector) stalking King with 43 Cap (humm, wonder if anyone would buy that?) 🙂 … or the more unlikely release, CARSified Disneyland tram but if you’re at the gift store, make sure to stamp your feet and wail when it’s not available (just a suggestion). 🙂
Or Mia & Tia on the jungle cruise …
Mia & Tia just look like they’re wearing a Minnie hat so not too difficult … the boat … much more unlikely … but, who knows …
And the Disney Stores already sells a monorail … just add eyes!
Some of the merchandise is already out and pretty fun … a school art supply case that opens up with everything – markers, pens, pencils, paper, etc …
Just enough to write out your CARS 2 order.
Activity Book.
Keychains
Goofy CARS Ears …
And a snow globe …
It all began with a BIG BANG … whoops, there goes another CARS Expanded Universe.
* I do not know if these will be available in Euro Disney, HK Disney or Tokyo Disney … you tell us! 🙂
The only thing available online now is: Mater and Lightning McQueen Cars Pins — 2-Pieces.
UPDATE – Ordering info can be found in this post.

Does anybody know if these cars are already avaiable to buy in Disney Store in Disneyland (not online)?
what a load of ****!, I am not buying this walt!
My son loves these. He says he wants a Maters Pirate hat so mater and him could be twins. LOL So silly 🙂
Every Disney lover will “love” these..they look funny specially Mater with the Goofy ears!
I might go down to Disneyland and buy some for whoever wants them..
Yes!!!!!!!
make it doble/doppio please
These look wierd, but I might pick them up anyway. I’m going to Disney World the first week of May for my Marching Band trip. If I see them, I’ll probably get them.
I’m in for MickeyMcQueen 🙂
I knew you wood be! I LOVE them…when we went to Disney at Christmas, I tried on each and every one of these hats…. just like Mater and MQ wood!
Great Avatar!!!
Thanks John, it is a prototype of the Disney Store Pirate Mater, but they went black hat and red bandana instead!
All we need is a Disneyland Australia and I will be set… Trade??
OH MY GOSH! Please send them to disneyworld now!!!!! i will be going as a snare for my school marching band for the easter parade which is monday, im leaving thursday from pa will be in florida 24 hrs later staying for about 6 or 7 days, hoping i can score a micky mqueen!
(MET: Good luck – have fun and don’t come back without them! 🙂 ).
Thanks, ill try to stay as conscious as i can 😉
Just think about the parents who can hit two birds with one stone buying these to please their kids who loves disney and cars characters… Not all products have been put on market for collectors… This is just a bad news for the completists tough 😉
Hey guys, don’t forget Walt Disney effectively invented synergy or cross-marketing. So stuff like this is to be expected.
I don’t like these at all. I think they are totally lame.
Anyway to order these directly from Disney?
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED them!!
Just waiting for my royalty check…..
Ha! You’re the 1st person I thought of when I saw this post!
Well they did make the Mini Adventures set with Mickey LMQ and Minnie Sally so this isn’t really a stretch.
It’s a nice cross collectible. It looks like Mater’s eyes are better than the ones at the Disney Store, some of those are just weird
I know I’m supposed to collect ’em all, but these do not appeal to me at all.
I don’t understand how anyone can like these. Typical cheap merchandise. Milking a succesfull line until the last drop. Put a cheap plastic hat on an existing Cars diecast and ask a bonus price. And what does Cars have to do with Mickey Mouse anyway? It’s a shame Pixar is part of Disney, I’d say
These are nice… hopefully someone who lives in the Orlando area can help us out… While I’d like to find a work-related conference to attend in Orlando, I don’t think there’s money in the budget year for it.
Lightning Mickey???
Surely Mickey McQueen would sound better.
These are going to be GREAT!!! So glad Downtown Disney is sooooo close to us! 😀
I gladly trade you something for Pirate Mater. Now…if only I could find something you actually don’t have yet!
Pirate Mater…awesome. Think we’ll be able to pass on the other 2.
Ditto.
I have seen Goofy Mater and Micky LMQ in a twin pack packaging which had English, French and Chinese name plates.
Unless Pirate Mater is a Single I think there must be forth diecast car to be in his twin pack?
