Mattel Disney Pixar CARS Diecast: Tokyo Mater Toon Singles Return to Walmart
Thanks for the great photos, “John H.”
Tokyo Mater Toon singles return as a Walmart only item.
Manji as this new single is the 2013 variant version – he has BROWN EYES as with the recent 3-pack.
His first release featured him with blue eyes.
John H. says the others all most appear to be the same as his initial Toon release – Dragon Lightning McQueen has a segmented plastic face.
John H found 11 CARS on the shelf – presuming the box contained 12 diecasts, there are 2 to 3 of each.
Ito San, Kaa Reesu and Patokaa were not on the shelf – they are probably in the next case?
They are $4.97 each – guess WM has given up on the $.88 thing.
Many of these got a limited release in the first go-around so hopefully now enough will show up on the pegs including the rare Kyandee and Komodo. Happy hunting!
It’s unknown if there are other 3-packs … repeats or otherwise – most times, exclusives lists are not very detailed.
Thanks for the great pics, “John H.”

Our WM is finally finishing their Spring reset… I almost missed these today… My search image was for the previously larger Cars Toon packaging. I saw 2 Komodos, 2 Kyandee, 2 Drift Party Mater, 3 Dragon LMQ, and 1 Manji.
C’mon!!! This can’t be Walmart only items!!! It came from Malaysia where i stay!!! And i waited 4 years to complete this range!! Hell!! C’mon Mattel!! C’mon!!! WTF are you guys doing??!?!? Why do you allow Ebay scalpers to sell Tokyo Mater for 300 bucks!! Why?!?!?! Why?!?!?! Why?!?!?!?!?
The answer is really easy… Because Mattel can make TONS OF EASY MONEY !!!! Mattel is good to create new collectors. Not only maintaining old collectors… I challenge you find these TOONS in 3 months from now… Even at $5 each they are flying off the shelves like crazy. Can you name a product selling faster than Cars dies cast ? Milk, eggs and bread are selling out slower than that…
I got lucky & found the same as john in Missouri reported. I have all these from before, but being a sick collect them all collector I picked up all 5. I hope they put out the other 3 that are on the back and some kool new ones that were never made like the crane that was in the play set.
What about Bye Bye Mar?!? C’mon naw!
Anybody pick up an extra one of each, shoot me an email at jvirga at yahoo dot com. I would like all five
Was happy to find these this morning in Walmart.
John – looks like the missing car you have is an additional “Dragon Lightning McQueen.” Happened upon a fresh case this morning and it had 4 Dragon LMQs
Now this is exciting… My son’s favorite Toon is Tokyo Mater and since we only started collecting in earnest in the past year, we missed all of the Toons singles.
The picture on the cardback is of Dragon Lightning Mcqueen (#11) with oil stains. That was the version with the determined look.
The released one is Clean Dragon Mcqueen #35, with the sheepish eyes and grin.
I found 11 on the pegs this morning, so I would think these come in cases of 12:
3 Drift Party Mater
3 Dragon Lightning McQueen
2 Manji
2 Komodo
1 Kyandee
1 ?????
CHUY…CHUY…CHUY..MATERDOR…MATERDOR…MATERDOR… 🙂
