Mattel Disney Pixar Toons: Streets of Japan Walmart Box Set
Thanks for the heads up & great photos, “Beccarelli B.”
Arriving at Walmart – the latest Tokyo Mater 3-pack with new releases & possible variants.
Well, one new release – Kabuto with Flames.
While this has been floating around int’l eBay sellers, this is his first official release and of course, if you bought early, you probably got one with a segmented face plate – this current releases matches all Kabuto’s now – with a unibody diecast shell.
Ninja Kabuto is presumed to be upgraded to a unibody (based on this photo supplied by Mattel). Ninja Kabuto is out as a single (well, good luck finding him).
It’s hard to tell if Cho has been upgraded to all metal – though not a unibody. Many CARS diecasts are “upgraded” but not as a unibody but have metal pieces that replace the plastic pieces.
Thanks for the great photos, “Beccarelli B.”
Not online yet.

Can’t wait to pick this up!!! Hopefully soon…
Interesting on Kabuto with Flames.
I have one sent to me by a friend in China a few years ago. He is segmented but has a completely different expression. I will send you a picture Met. Perhaps this one I have was a prototype then?
(MET: It’s unknown if he was scheduled for release with the new expression and then pulled? Or … ).

found my answer here. Mine is a prototype Kabuto with Flames. As Met pictured in the link.
I found this in store a couple of days ago, I think 14.99 for 3 cars is ridiculous, it may have been 19.99 I don’t remember bit I have still yet to see a new restock of single carded cars since December. Mu don’t buy box sets so no thanks.
Kabuto Ninja is not a unibody in either the single or the 3-pack.
I have found both and they look the same as the original release.
(MET: Thanks!)
Yep, just found the Singles and the face plate is a separate, darker piece.
By the way, the new cardbacks are made of a titanium-based cardboard. They are solid!
The original release has a carbon fiber tampo on the spoiler.
The new single (haven’t found the 3-pack yet) does not. Other
than that I didn’t see any difference.
