Mattel Disney PLANES: New Wings Around the Globe Play Set
“Wraukn” sends along nice photos of the Wings Around the Globe Play Set.
On the surface, it seems like the Dusty Crophopper Pit Row Gift Set (with Pitty, Dottie) with an extra Airport Control Tower.
If they release the Control Tower Pitty, it would be a canonical display BUT based on the lack of the word “DIECAST” anywhere on the box – this playset is a little puzzling.
So, it looks like you get the tent from the Pit Row Gift Set but instead of a metal diecast Dusty Crophopper and a metal Pitty Dottie, you get the plastic playset versions. What’s the opposite of woohoo?
I’m also presuming that while there is a black runway pictured below, I’m presuming you don’t actually get that? So, while it’s around $16.99 to $19.99, it’s all plastic.
Of course, why not buy the $11.99 Pit Row Gift Set that comes with the plastic tent, a metal diecast plane and a metal diecast Pitty?
Or for $19.99, you get a plastic plane, a plastic Pitty, a plastic tent and a plastic Control Tower.
Yea, usually when they just call it “vehicles,” it means plastic.
Thanks “Wraukn.”

I found 3 more lizzies today.
It is the same control tower from the Propwash Junction playset except molded in blue plastic instead of orange. This would have been a lot cooler if they had included some runway that connected with your existing playsets and a Sparky. I’d even take a plastic Sparky at this point.
I forget how many times I’ve wondered/posted “where the hell is Sparky??”. Given he has a relatively big speaking role in the film as Skipper’s sidekick, it’s really weird he’s had no release. Even DS has only thrown in him with a 10-pack.
Here’s the DS 1:55 plastic Sparky. The wheels roll; my kids play with him all the time. Its included in the plastic Planes set which was a good deal for small play Planes.
