Mattel Disney PLANES Diecast: Franz, No Try Me Feature?
The Disney Store Franz is pretty impressive, all metal AND it fold/detaches into a “flying car” that Franz is in the film PLANES.
He is a flying CAR that you can also convert to driving mode!
The Mattel one however seems pretty static …
Maybe this is just an early shot of it in packaging but no TRY ME snipe, no WINGS UNFOLDS! snipe, etc … so, it does not look very promising. So, while they seem to have strengthened the plastic strut supports, maybe it’s just so it wouldn’t sag after 2 weeks but otherwise, not really functional … when you see it in the stores, let us know for certain.
But it’s looking like Mattel’s Franz Fliegenhosen das not Fliegen but we are Hosened.

At least Mattel gets the eyes right.
Franz doesn’t just Drink & Drive, he also gets Stoned & Flies.
It gives them a chance to release “Folded Up Wings Franz” and make double the money. Or quadruple if its only released in the Folded 4 Pack.
It’s the same deal with Skipper. DS has (canon) foldable wings, Mattel doesn’t.
And that’s before you consider scale and metal content.
There’s really no comparison between the lines.
