Disney Toon PLANES: Disney Store Plain Ready to Sell You PLANES
The Disney Store Online is PLANES stacked, packed and ready for sales catapult … The “singles” PLANES Disney Store diecasts all come in a classy stackable acrylic box …
While I have not actually held one in my hand, it’s safe to guess it’s pretty solid metal – the Disney Store diecasts tend to be solid metal bodies so other than the wheels and propellers, it should be solid metal.
They all look pretty nice but there are a few that really stand out.
Skipper, the Corsair looks great in 1940’s flat-top mode …
Or when buzzing through the air mode … hope they eventually release his buddies/squadron.
Of course, Ishani looks great in her screen clips … diecast looks great. 
Franz Fliegenhosen is the same price as all the other diecasts but he is SUPER SWEET …
He is a flying CAR that you can also convert to driving mode!
And Chug – the Fuel Truck – I don’t know if his scale is accurate but Mattel will be hard pressed to match the detailed work from the Disney store …
Pretty sweet, huh?
Again, should be solid metal except for obvious little pieces around him that are plastic …
There is the “deluxe” release – a 10″ long helo, Hector Vector* (helicopter for those more grounded 🙂 ) that is solid diecast metal with a sliding door … eventually I guess we’ll figure out the correct scale but for now, probably accurate – about double the length of most of the other diecast metal releases …
* I wonder if his cousin is Vector Victor. 🙂
And there are two Lights, Sounds & Movie Phrases Navy Hornets – Bravo & Echo that are presumably accurate in scale (about 15″ long) to the other Planes but until the film comes out, and or if there are aviation experts – drop me a line. 🙂 The Disney store diecasts are still listed as 1:43 scale but we’ll see if that’s actually accurate.
These lights, sounds and movie phrases versions are NOT diecast but plastic – it would weigh a ton otherwise but maybe there will be diecast release from the DS.
These also drop bomb loads. 
They do look super detailed and if they have the actual voices of two certain Top Gunners, pretty hard to resist … if you get one or two, let us know the voices …
There are not box sets releases of the diecasts – these two releases are FIGURINES – DISPLAYS, none working wheels but if you want some background display figurines, these are plastic but cheaper. That Yorkie the Carrier landing game looks like fun … 
There are three DUSTY releases, regular Dusty (see top photo with dustcrop nozzles), Racing Dusty with a #7 paint on him and no crop dusting nozzles and Turbo Dusty with Turbojets. There are many other lead-main character releases also available to order – I didn’t grab screenshots of every item.
Just click on the link to look at the all the PLANES merchandise available now including some fun kids clothes. You get free shipping with $75 purchase and if buy 2 diecasts, you save about $1 off of each (or @10%).
The Tokyo Mater CHASE Diecast CAR is also now available online.
You can compare to the Mattel diecast PLANES here but Skipper with folding wings and Franz with convert able wings is pretty hard to beat from the Disney store. When both sets are released, then we can test scale and accuracy.

OK, this is a total mystery to me. Why is it that Disney can make Chug’s face look normal, but they cannot make a normal Mater to save their lives?
(MET: When I’ve asked them when they will fix Mater, they just stare at me like I asked why Snoopy is not with Pluto … 🙂 ).
I drove 34 miles to the Westfarms Mall in Farmington Connecticut and purchased all the planes except Zed and Echo. Disney closed their store just 3 miles from my home 3 years ago so the drive was the only way to get them right away. Just a little trivia for you folks, the markings on Echo, Bravo (F/A-18F Super Hornet) and Skipper (Chance Vought F4U Corsair) is VF 17 which today is known as VFA 103 the Jolly Rogers out of Naval Airstation Oceana Virginia. El Chupacabra is a Gee Bee R-1 racer which was built just 10 miles from my home in Springfield Massachusetts. I’ve taken pictures of all the purchases which I hope to post later.
That is awesome trivia!
Just FYI, I don’t think they released Zed yet, only Ned.
Day # 2… FRANZ and NED are SOLD OUT ! It is surprizing considering not many have shown interest to them up to now…
Ned seemed be scarce in my neck of the woods. Only one case at one DS and another DS did not receive him at all. However, I see both Franz and Ned still in stock online.
The pictures are still there but when you select it is shows SOLD OUT… tomorrow morning they may have removed the images like they did for CHUG. However I am convinced they will all return in the coming weeks if not in couple days… hopefully 🙂
(MET: Yea, these should all be available through 2013 …).
Thanks for the clarification! I should have used a non DS mobile app before I commented. “Sold Out” is not displayed on my iPhone DS app.
CHUG is already SOLD OUT ! Not bad for a first day out ! 🙂
The green propeller tips is probably giving couple extra knots !!! 😉
This comment is in reference to “nlg510” question below…
When will these hit the shelves?????
I have received two answers.
Answer one: tomorrow 29th
Answer two: Thursday the 30th.
I will be calling tomorrow for sure.
Easy pass, I don’t collect DS releases. These do look really nice though, Mattel could take a lesson in detailed painting skills from them.
AWESOME PICTURES! Must wait too see all versions in person before deciding. this is going to be tough :–)
stubop and marco are approx 1:144 scale if that helps at all.
What is the difference beatween Dusty and Turbo Dusty?
(MET: At the end of each wing, there is a “turbo booster,” painted orange …).
the wing tip accessory..
similar to Malibu Stacey and her new hat 🙂
I ordered them ALL (16) !!! (the diecast of course) Can’t wait to get them !
(MET: We look forward to your review! 😉 ).
Some very nice Planes…
I would much rather collect these than Mattel’s lineup. They seem a lot more detailed and have a lot less plastic than Mattel’s, and will probably be a better price for what you’re getting unless Mattel is selling them for $5 each.
Just wish I had a Disney Store anywhere near me!
(Oh, and Ishani is a girl, Met 🙂 )
Ishani’s voice is from quite a pretty nice one ! Priyanka Chopra, an Indian movie star and also a miss India winner !!! 🙂

(MET: okay, NOW I’m convinced she’s a girl/woman … plane 🙂 ).
When I was a kid I had a blue die-cast plane with fold up wings like Skipper. I often wondered what happened to that plane. Although I will try to resist these, looks like Skipper (and Chug too) will be coming home with me
I’m tempted, but I want to see what Mattel puts out first. Might have to check these out in person next time I’m near a Disney Store.
I checked one or two days ago and there was nothing! Nor Tokyo Mater! $9/10 huh? They actually don’t look bad. Me want!
