Mattel Disney Pixar CARS 2 Diecast: The Beautiful Lemons Visual Checklist
While we might quibble about the distribution and some glaring sculpt/design FAILS for CARS 2 diecasts, there is hardly anything to complain about the LEMONS of CARS 2. They are works of art for the real life autos that are/were anything but.
These are all great photos from “John H,” who not only takes great photos but his CARS are not covered in dust like mine. 🙂
These are all A-grade sculpts and versions with great detailed accessories. Not a thing wrong with them other than I want them in every PMS and color of the rainbow. I will not tire of adding Acer’s to my collection. 
Same with the great Grem/Gremlin sculpt and a perfect CAr for angry eyes or sad eyes. Again, I want a few dozen more in a few dozen more colors. Bring ’em on!
The Hugo family is the only one off base as Yugo’s or other Eastern Europe/Europe hatchback coupes, he’s way too large but nicely done, just a little too large – B grade. They should be no larger than the Trunkov’s …
Nothing wrong with the leaders of the pack … John is actually missing a major variant but I see he left a space for the unibody Blue window, Blue roof upgrade variant of Miles. And of course, CHASE Miles Axelrod with opening hood is coming soon.
Also great – the Trunkov family – more colors!
And the fun CRANE from the Quick Changer playset? I vaguely recall there was a nice Disney Store oil rig – unfortunately, that one disappeared pretty quickly.
Thanks for the gret pics, “John H.”

I’m having a Senior moment! Where did the camera in the two pictures above come from? For the life of me I can’t remember.
It’s not from Mattel, it’s from the Disney Store. It was a pvc plastic set of cars.
You can easily pull/cut the PVC Acer off of it, and then fit a regular diecast on it, as seen above.
Where did the blue looking Gremlin come from? I have been trying to keep up but it is hard when you can’t find any cars.
(MET: Petey Pacer – CASE B).
Petey is a pacer, if that is who you mean. Though there isn’t any blue gremlins, if you mean the purple gremlin in the back row of that picture, thats Don Crumlin.
Yes that is the one, looks blue/purple the two on the back row. looks like I missed getting Don Crumlin.
Thanks
Don Crumlin comes with green eyes and also brown eyes, variant or evil twins? 🙂
One minor gripe with the Pacer family, the passenger side door isn’t longer than the driver side door, unlike the real life car. Also, the “every car has FSHBWL for a license plate” thing was a little annoying.
Really wish Tyler & Pacer [Yellow Grem] were release again… never saw them in store 🙁
This crane is from Mattel’s Barrel Blowout set. It came with a plastic Finn McMissile at the big three retailers and with plastic Finn and plastic Professor Z (exclusive) at Kohl’s. Disney Store crane is nicer but this is a Mattel only conclave.
That set at Kohl’s was an unbelievable whopping $30. But then again Kohl’s seems to be have been created for people who never visit any other stores. Just tonight I picked up that set for $8 at Big Lots. The little crane is cute but not nearly as nice as the Disney Store one.
